The story about how he and his friends trounce the evil Wizpig in an heady racing take chances is only every bit well-known on the island every bit Donkey'southward mettlesome escapades. The vivid Diddy can hardly wait until the next bully challenge, and and then he rushes into every gamble, no matter how dangerous.
It seems as if only this proved to be his downfall, for as he wanted to have on a group of Kremlings lonely, he was literally overpowered by them and taken prisoner. All the wiser for the feel he at present awaits his rescuer Ass Kong...

Trivia

Diddy Kong was originally a redesigned Ass Kong Jr. for the game Donkey Kong Country, still since Nintendo was not fond of the redesign by finding it drastically different, they told Rare to either have Inferior in his original appearance, or make the redesign its own new character. Rare chose the latter choice and the redesign became Diddy Kong.
- Donkey Kong Jr. in the Saturday Supercade animated series^[14] had a personality somewhat similar the character Scrappy-Doo^[15] from the Scooby-Doo franchise^[sixteen], consummate with his catchphrase MONKEY Muscle!!. Diddy Kong however in the Ass Kong game series seems to have fully adopted Jr.'southward cartoon analogue's traits barring the catchphrase while Junior became more of a Mario/Mickey Mouse^[17] type grapheme. In Donkey Kong Country Returns, Ass Kong State Returns 3D and Donkey Kong Land: Tropical Freeze, Diddy strikes up a fighting pose similar to Scrappy during the boss cutscenes. To add, both Diddy and Scrappy are the boisterous machismo nephews of the main characters (Donkey Kong and Scooby-Doo^[18], respectively).
Diddy Kong'southward Chimpy Accuse motion audio effect in the game Donkey Kong 64 is very reminiscent to the running audio effect from the Scooby-Doo franchise.
In the Donkey Kong 64 Instruction Booklet, Diddy is referred to equally DK's "little nephew wannabe".^[10]
- Cranky Kong has been mentioned as being related to Diddy in both games Ass Kong Country ^[19] and Donkey Kong Country 2 ^[20], and Rare'due south old website^[4], gaming news websites^[21], and the game Super Boom Bros. for Nintendo 64 accept all called him DK'southward nephew.
Some artwork for the games Donkey Kong Country ii, Donkey Kong 64 (and his in-game model), Diddy Kong Racing, and in the sidelines of the two Mario Kart Arcade GP titles depicts Diddy Kong with blueish optics.
- On the other mitt, Super Smash Bros. Brawl gives him brownish eyes. The color of his eyelids varies depending on his appearances, sometimes they are either chocolate-brown (like in Ass Kong 64 and Diddy Kong Racing DS), tan (like in Ass Kong Country, Donkey Kong Country two, Super Blast Bros. Brawl and Super Boom Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U), or he may have no eyelids at all, with his irises stylistically blinking instead.
Cranky Kong, Wrinkly Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Dixie Kong, and Diddy Kong have conjoined optics whereas modern Donkey Kong does not.
Diddy Kong is i of the only Kongs that has a monkey tail (some other one is Baby Ass Kong) which he uses for his tail whip attacks and Simian Jump.
Diddy Kong is more often than not a very positive, happy/enthusiastic guy with a curious fixation on superheroes and justice, standards of what makes a superhero, and what a superhero is supposed to do, his hat-stomping outbursts normally only arise from his own mistakes, he considers himself an apprentice/sidekick of DK (Diddy looks downwardly on himself), until Ass Kong Country 2. He is a footling sensitive also does not take also kindly to being ignored
The ages between Dixie and Diddy Kong are left uncertain. Rare mentions that Dixie is a immature chimp Kong^[22] and Diddy's designer Kevin Bayliss stated that Diddy was made to resemble a spider monkey Kong^[1] which aligns with Diddy's long limbs and so he tin can use his prehensile tail as his main tool to climb and it suits his eager personality.
In the mode Subspace Emissary of the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Diddy Kong'southward squad-up with the characters Play a joke on McCloud and Falco Lombardi, from the Star Fox game serial, relates to the Japanese fairy tale of Momotarō^[23]. In the tale, the character Momotarō is a boy built-in from a peach, and after on, he travels to a distant island to defeat a group of oni (ogres and demons). During the travel, Momotarō befriends and forms a group composed by a domestic dog, a monkey and a pheasant. In the Subspace Emissary, Diddy simply reflects with a monkey, while foxes and dogs belong to the Canidae family^[24], whereas Falco is likewise a bird, like the pheasant.
In the game Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, Diddy Kong's limbs can stretch farther, like to Lanky Kong in the game Donkey Kong 64.
