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

 * Instruction booklet bio from 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.

 * Name: Diddy Kong
 * Occupation: Race Car driver
 * Hobbies: Plucking the guitar Tuning cars

''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
"DK’s partner and buddy. Diddy’s trademark is his red baseball hat. While Donkey Kong boasts incredible power, Diddy’s forte is his nimbleness. Using his prehensile tail to great effect, Diddy Kong is a natural fielder who won’t ever boot routine balls."

Solid Snake Codec Conversation

 * Snake: Otacon, there's a chimpanzee here wearing a Nintendo hat.
 * Otacon: That's Diddy Kong. He's Donkey Kong's partner. Not only is he lightweight, he can use a wide range of weapons as well. He can fly using those barrel jets on his back, and he can shoot nuts with his Peanut Popgun.
 * 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.

Donkey Kong Country Returns

 * Website Bio: "Donkey Kong's little buddy makes up for his small stature with a host of useful gadgets. Equipped with a Barrel Jet and a Peanut Popgun, he's an essential companion - whether playing solo or with a friend in the room."

Mario Party 9

 * Jungle Minor: A constellation named after the long-tailed Diddy Kong. Don't let the T-shirt and cap fool you: he's as serious about bananas as anybody else.

Mario Tennis Open

 * Type: Speed
 * Bio: Diddy is small and quick. He is acrobatic as well, so he can receive the ball with ease and return a very powerful shot.
 * Bio 2: Faster than a speeding bullet, Diddy Kong bounds around the court, covering all corners with his acrobatics. He can also really blast the ball with power for such a small player.

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?
