:hmmm... Wikipedia says he's his "little nephew wannabe", whatever that means. Also, how can a gorilla be related to a chimpanzee? Different species.{{User:Knife/sig}} 16:16, 26 July 2007 (EDT)

:Does anyone have access to the Donkey Kong Country manual, preferably the original? It might have something that could settle this debate once and for all in it. -- [[User: Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]]

:Diddy Kong is DK's nephew, "little buddy", and his sidekick in the games. They are both apes however, so they can be related. [[wikipedia:Ape|This article]] says that gorillas and chimpanzees are part of the same family, making it possible for them to be related. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig|What's with all the monkey-business?}}

::Diddy can't be a chimpanzee nor another sort of ape. Apes don't have tails, or at least no tails as long as Diddy's, so Diddy is a monkey. I wonder why he is called Donkey's "nephew". --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 10:27, 1 June 2008 (EDT)

:::It wouldn't be the strangest thing for two species to be in the same family.  Think of Peach: in Super Mario RPG she has relatives who are Toads.  Anyway, what we need is a quote regarding their relationship rather than speculation over whether it's possible in the real world.  I used to try that but it gets you nowhere... trust me. :( {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 21:30, 1 June 2008 (EDT)

:There's no evidence that Diddy is DK's nephew in the video games. Maybe DK is Diddy's "uncle in arms" or something. {{User|SavedPrincess}}

::Someone included [http://web.archive.org/web/20020819225350/www.rareware.com/the_site/rare_games/new_games_digest/dk64_digest/dk64_cl_copy.html this] as a reference for him being a nephew, but we can't access it, so it shouldn't be included. [[User:Tyciol|Tyciol]] 19:35, 15 January 2012 (EST)


:The species have nothing to do with relation. For all we know they just were lazy to think about this kind of thing. {{User:Mario64fanatic/sig}}

:THEY'RE KONGS!  They aren't apes, monkeys, chimps, etc.  They are just Kongs. {{unsigned|Doddfather}}

::Actually I would say that 'kong' would be the name of a simian subspecies that includes both apes (donkey) and monkeys (diddy). [[User:Tyciol|Tyciol]] 19:35, 15 January 2012 (EST)
