List of Diddy Kong profiles and statistics

This is a list of profiles and statistics for Diddy Kong.

Donkey Kong franchise

Donkey Kong Country

• SNES instruction booklet (page 14): Although he would never admit it, Diddy Kong is a Donkey Kong wannabe. His ambition in life is to be a video game hero just like the big guy. And although Donkey Kong would never say it to Diddy's face, the kid has potential. He's fast, agile, and has the heart to be a world class video game hero. He just need a little more experience and, of course, exposure!
• SNES Player's Guide (page 6): Diddy is a wanna-be. An understudy, if you will. He plays second fiddle to DK. He accepts the role, but in actuality, Diddy can do some things better than his gorilla counterpart.
• GBA instruction booklet (page 18): Diddy's goal in life is to be a big-shot video game star, just like DK. With his speed and agility, he'll get there in no time!
• GBA Player's Guide (page 6): Diddy is Donkey Kong's right-hand chimp. Diddy looks up to Donkey Kong and tags along with him wherever he goes. Diddy can jump higher and run a little faster than Donkey Kong, but he can't knock out larger enemies like Donkey Kong can. Diddy also can't toss barrel as far as his ape mentor can.
• GBA Prima Official Game Guide (page 12): Diddy is the smaller, but no less important, of the two main Kong. His small size makes him your preferred Kong in many situations, such as when negotiating small spaces, or running under enemies you can't dispatch. Use Diddy when Cartwheel Jumping, leaping across stages that are tricky to maneuver, and when you want to carry barrels close to you chest. However, Diddy is less effective against hardened enemies, so project him with Donkey Kong.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

• SNES instruction booklet (page 11): Diddy's in the starring role this tine and he's off to prove himself a true member of Kong Family of Video Game Heroes. He'll have his work cut out for him as he storms Kaptain K. Rool's pirate haven on Crocodile Isle!
• Player's Guide (page 4): After serving as DK's sidekick, Diddy is finally a hero in his own right. Joining him on thid adventure is his pal and partner, Dixie, who is more than a match for any Kremling!

Diddy Kong Racing

• Instruction booklet (page 23): Regarded as a hero after all his adventures in Kong country, the young primate is a long-time friend of Timber and doesn't think twice about responding to his call for help. With his family tending to their guests, he even manages to sneak off without their interference.

Donkey Kong 64

• Instruction booklet bio from Cranky Kong (page 7): Donkey’s little nephew wannabe. He’s quick, nimble and courageous but still a bit of a lightweight when compared to my fine physique. He’s also got this new-fangled thing he calls a Jetbarrel, but it sounds like nothing more than a lot of hot air to me.
• Player's Guide (page 5): You'll probably recognize his familiar furry mug from past adventures. A mere bantamweight in bulk, this courageous chimp is the heavyweight champion of hard-core attitude. Whether he's rocking out on a six-stringed, amplified guitar or rocketing through the sky, he's always giving it 100 percent — Diddy style.
• Player's Guide (page 118): Little Diddy presents a small target to the other players. In fact, he's so small that you won't see him until you're almost on top of him. With this in mind, it's a good idea for Diddy to use the telescopic zoom and attack from a distance.

DK: King of Swing

• Instruction booklet (page 21): Diddy Kong is lightning quick and a good jumper. His light physique could make him vulnerable in attack-based contests, though...

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

• Website bio: Small but dependable, Diddy Kong has been Donkey Kong's companion for many an adventure. The Barrel Jet on his back lets him hover above the ground.
• Prima Official Game Guide (page 10): Donkey Kong’s most trusted and best friend throughout the country, Diddy has had DK's back since their duo was conceptualized. Diddy has been along on just about every adventure and is a very dependable, supportive character. While he may lack the brute strength that DK shows, he more than makes up for with his ingenuity and mechanical prowess, as well as his tight controls and fast movements. This little guy sports a jetpack and dual Peanut Popguns as well. Did I mention he has a jetpack? That has to account for something.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

• Website description: Donkey Kong’s pal has finally joined the battle! Unfortunately, screenshots fail to truly capture the way he moves. He scrambles around the battle, using whimsical fighting moves while wielding both his Rocketbarrel Boost and Peanut Pop Gun!
• Trophy: Donkey Kong's little buddy. He's famous for his quickness and his long tail. He usually plays second banana to DK, but he teamed up with his girlfriend, Dixie, to rescue DK when he got captured. He's spent some time playing music and competing in races, and he's also an expert at using barrels.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

• Trophy (NA): Donkey Kong's trusty partner. He sports his signature look: red hat, red shirt, Rocketbarrel Pack. In Smash Bros., he's incredibly agile. Charge the Rocketbarrel Pack by holding down the button before launch, and you can steer with left and right. Don't forget to drop banana peels—enemies love it!
• Trophy (EU): Red cap? Red T-shirt? Rocketbarrel Pack? Yep, it's Diddy Kong. His agility lets him get attacks in quickly in this game. Fire up his Rocketbarrel Pack and keep the button held down to fly further. You can even steer him in the air! Tip: If you don't mind fighting dirty, make your opponent slip on a Banana Peel, then hit 'em while they're down.

Alternative

• Trophy (NA): The Banana Peel Diddy throws when you use his down special can be picked up and used against you, so be careful. His Monkey Flip side special is a rolling leap followed by a grab (or a kick if you press the button again midjump). If you grab someone, press the button again to attack or jump off them to go high into the air.
