List of Diddy Kong profiles and statistics

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

Donkey Kong Country

 * Instruction booklet bio: 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 needs a little more experience and, of course, exposure!

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

 * Instruction booklet bio: Diddy's in the starring role this time and he's off to prove himself a true member of the 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!

Donkey Kong 64
He's back again and about time too And this time he's in the mood He can fly real high with his jetpack on With his pistols out, he's one tough Kong He'll make you smile when he plays his tune But Kremlings beware 'cause he's after you!
 * DK Rap segment:


 * Instruction booklet bio from Professor Cranky Kong: 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.

''Diddy, meanwhile, also enjoys great respect since he has often actively supported his best friend Donkey. The story about he and his friends beat the evil Wizpig in an exciting racing adventure is just as well-known on the island as Donkey's courageous jungle escapades. The bright Diddy can hardly wait until the next great challenge, and so he rushes into every adventure, no matter how dangerous. It seems as if just this proved to be his downfall, for as he wanted to take on a group of Kremlings alone, he was literally overpowered by them and taken prisoner. All the wiser for the experience he now awaits his rescuer Donkey Kong...''

Bio

 * Snake: Peanuts? As in the ones in the little shells? Are you serious?
 * Otacon: Wait, here's the best part. You see them lying on the ground after he shoots? If you pick up some of those peanuts, they'll restore your health a little.
 * Snake: Hmm. Edible ammunition, huh... Times sure have changed.

Palutena's Guidance

 * Pit: Oh, look! It's Diddy Kong.
 * Viridi: He's Donkey Kong's little buddy.
 * Pit: Wonder if he'd let me win for a banana.
 * Palutena: Don't underestimate just because he's a monkey. He's faster and stronger than any human.
 * Pit: As long as he can't fly, I'm good.
 * Palutena: He can't fly, but he does have a Peanut Popgun and an inexhaustible supply of peanuts to shoot at you.
 * Pit: So? I love peanuts!
 * Palutena: Not when they're pelting you in the face.
 * Pit: I don't know. Still sounds pretty good to me.
 * Viridi: Oh, Pit! What WON'T you do for a snack?
 * Palutena: Fighting does take strength.
 * Viridi: Anyway, if you can hit Diddy Kong at just the right angle, he'll drop his Rocketbarrel Pack.
 * Palutena: However, it explodes when it lands on the ground, so watch out.

Flag Description (Wii U version)
Diddy Kong

''Although this simian lacks the brute strength of his buddy Donkey Kong, he makes up for it with keen agility and technique. This skill set makes him particularly well-suited for dodging tackles in rugby events.''

Miis' Dialogues (Wii U version)

 * Diddy Kong is Donkey Kong's buddy and partner. If you'll look closely, you'll see that Diddy Kong has a tail, but Donkey Kong doesn't.
 * Diddy Kong is very spry and agile. He can also run fast and jump far, which might give him a big edge over run-of-the-mill opponents. And sure, he's pretty tiny, so he's not exactly what you call tough — but he could probably find some way to turn his size to his advantage, too!
 * Diddy Kong's almost always wearing his trademark red cap and vest. They really do suit him quite well. Maybe I should try an outfit like that sometime... Hey, maybe it would even give me some of Diddy Kong's smooth moves! Do you think?

Dr. Mario World

 * Dr. Mario World Twitter: Yellow: "The other doctor making his debut at 3 AM on Oct. 31 PT is Dr. Diddy Kong! He's really rocking that wooden head mirror. But what's a doctor need a head mirror for? I think it's probably just to make him look official!"
