Conker

Conker the Squirrel is a long-time friend of Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, and Banjo. In Diddy Kong Racing, Diddy Kong, with help from Squawks the Parrot, manages to contact Conker, asking for help in defeating the evil Wizpig. Conker answered Diddy's plea and ventured to Timber's Island to help in the quest to drive Wizpig off the island.

After aiding Diddy Kong in beating Wizpig, Conker returned to his home where he had some of his own adventures, most notably the M-rated Conker's Bad Fur Day, which started development as a children's game but became what is is today when Rare decided it didn't want to make another little kid's game and changed it into an adult game. Conker has also appeared in many of the N Gang comics.

Trivia

 * In Diddy Kong Racing DS, Conker was replaced by Dixie Kong as a playable character, due to copyright reasons.
 * While Conker was not in Diddy Kong Racing DS, if the player listens in the selection screen theme he or she can still hear his theme music play in the background.
