Rool]]'s defeated and the Kremling Krew was not only DK's strength, but also Diddy's intelligence that helped DK in the adventures.

Rool's hands. Later, Diddy along with Dixie return to Crocodile Isle to face K. Rool again in the [[Kremling's Lost World|Lost World]] until he defeats him again and accidentally destroys the island.
====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====▼

Rool in the [[KAOS Kore#Kastle KAOS|lab]], Diddy along with DK emerge from KAOS' shell regaining consciousness.
In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Diddy was the first Kong to be imprisoned by the Kremling Krew until he was saved by DK in [[Kongo Jungle|Jungle Japes]] when he activated 3 [[Target Switch]]s opening his captivity. All of his color-coded items are red, he attacks with Chimpy Charge, he gets the Peanut Popgun, his instrument is a guitar, his barrel power is Rocketbarrel Boost and his pad is Simian Spring. Diddy is the first to battle [[Dogadon]], he fights him by throwing [[TNT Barrel]]s making him simply plummet from the lava. In the round 2, he defeats K. Rool where he had to use his jet and use his peanut gun to shoot the double targets in one of the 4 spotlights to make the same fall on the head in the Kremling king 4 times.
====''Donkey Kong Country Returns''====▼
In ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', Diddy can be chosen in the adventure mode when collecting the 24 [[DK Medal]]s in the same mode with Donkey Kong. As playable in the Jungle Jam, his '''Jump''' is 4 out of 5 and '''Attack''' is 2 out of 5.
====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====▼
In ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', Diddy was a great help to DK launching him, hitting high objects and reaching regions where he can't reach. Diddy also requires the use of three things, such as: hammer, feathers and torch. In Booster Battle, Diddy is the last adversary.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', Diddy is the first to learn of the theft of the Banana Hoard by the animals that were hypnotized by [[Tiki Tak Tribe]] and tries to chase them to retrieve it. However, Diddy is trapped in a barrel again and accompanies Donkey Kong on another mission to retrieve the bananas again. In the end, he and Donkey Kong manage to destroy the tribe and recover the bananas.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', Diddy was the first to be found by DK on [[Mangrove Cove]] when he and other Kongs were driven off from own island by the [[Snowmad]]s during the DK's birthday party. He comes back with his Rocketbarrel Boost, uses his old Peanut Popgun when he's separated, enemies are turned into red Extra-Life Balloons using '''Kong POW''' along with DK and has his own barrel with the initials '''''DD'''''. After [[Lord Fredrik]]'s expulsion, Diddy joined the victory band in which he plays two congas with two bongos hanging from them.
===Spin-off===
In ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''/[[Diddy Kong Racing DS|DS]], Diddy had to help his neighbor [[Timber]] to drive [[Wizpig]] off [[Timber Island|his island]] in a race. So he calls two members of [[Kong Family]] for help. He and the racers (including [[Krunch]]) went through each location with circuits to drive Wizpig off the island. As a playable character, his '''Acceleration''' & '''Turning''' are 3 out of 5 and '''Top Speed''' is 2 out of 5.

[[File:SubspaceIntro-DiddyKong.png|200px|thumb|left|'''Diddy Kong''''s snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]
In [[the Jungle]], Diddy Kong helps [[Donkey Kong]] recover bananas stolen from the [[Koopa Troop]], only to have [[Bowser]] appear and attempt to use his [[Dark Cannon]] on the [[Kong]]s. Donkey knocks Diddy away to safety before anything happens, however. At [[the Lake]], Diddy encounters [[Rayquaza]], teams up with [[Fox McCloud]] by force, and fights [[False Character|False Bowser]], but they end up fleeing from the real Bowser. As they reach [[the Swamp]], Bowser successfully attacks Diddy, turns into a static trophy and clones him into False Diddy Kong with shadowbugs. After Diddy is revived, he defeats the clone and teams up with [[Falco Lombardi]], again by force.

Diddy was to star in both ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'' as a main character and a sidekick, respectively, but these games were canceled before they could be released when [[Rare Ltd.]] moved to Microsoft.
