Diddy Kong: Difference between revisions

Diddy Kong is a friendly and adventurous character, willing to help out his friends during times of need, evidenced by the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series. Diddy Kong is somewhat of a peace seeker, which is an offset to Donkey Kong's more aggressive behavior against his enemies, since he asks a [[Kremling]] to "show himself if he was friendly" in ''Donkey Kong Country''. Diddy Kong's defining personality trait is his energy and gaiety, to the point of childishness (in a similar vein to [[Toad]], though he is less humble than the mushroom himself). Diddy Kong always shows excitement in various competitive sports (the ''Mario Golf'', ''Mario Tennis'', and ''Mario Baseball'' series) and [[Mario Kart (series)|kart races]], as evidenced by his idle and victory animations, which see him cartwheeling, backflipping, sideflipping, jumping up and down, or clapping his hands while yelling and screeching in happiness and enjoyment. Diddy's boisterous, slap-happy personality comes into play in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where he is constantly smiling or showing toothy grins. Diddy Kong's victory animations show him holding his head with both his hands, or firing a peanut from the [[Popgun|Peanut Popgun]], further showing how excitable he is. In ''The Subspace Emmissary'', he is fearless to the point that he doesn't consider the danger; eager to fight Bowser while Donkey Kong and [[Fox McCloud]] knew this was too dangerous when he had a Dark Cannon at his disposal. The Main games show Diddy having a sense of danger; as shown in''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' when he freaks out over a giant barrel about to run him over, and in his own ending ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' when he panics as he's falling towards the moon. Despite his energetic, excitable nature, Diddy Kong becomes sad when he loses to a boss in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games or his opponents in various ''Mario'' spin-offs and ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, thus showing that he does not like to face defeat. In the television show, Diddy has a more snarky than go-lucky attitude.
