List of Diddy Kong profiles and statistics

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

Donkey Kong Country

“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 need a little more experience and, of course, exposure!”

—Donkey Kong Country instruction booklet, page 14

“Diddy is a wanna-be. An understudy, if you will. He plays second fiddle to DK. He accepts the role, but in actuality, Diddy can do some things better than his gorilla counterpart.”

—Donkey Kong Country Player's Guide, page 6

“Diddy's goal in life is to be a big-shot video game star, just like DK. With his speed and agility, he'll get there in no time!”

—Donkey Kong Country (GBA) instruction booklet, page 18

“Diddy is the smaller, but no less important, of the two main Kong. His small size makes him your preferred Kong in many situations, such as when negotiating small spaces, or running under enemies you can't dispatch. Use Diddy when Cartwheel Jumping, leaping across stages that are tricky to maneuver, and when you want to carry barrels close to you chest. However, Diddy is less effective against hardened enemies, so project him with Donkey Kong.”

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

“Diddy's in the starring role this tine and he's off to prove himself a true member of 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 Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest instruction booklet, page 11

“After serving as DK's sidekick, Diddy is finally a hero in his own right. Joining him on thid adventure is his pal and partner, Dixie, who is more than a match for any Kremling!”

Diddy Kong Racing

“Regarded as a hero after all his adventures in Kong country, the young primate is a long-time friend of Timber and doesn't think twice about responding to his call for help. With his family tending to their guests, he even manages to sneak off without their interference.”

—Diddy Kong Racing instruction booklet, page 23

Donkey Kong 64

“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.”

—Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong 64 instruction booklet, page 7

“You'll probably recognize his familiar furry mug from past adventures. A mere bantamweight in bulk, this courageous chimp is the heavyweight champion of hard-core attitude. Whether he's rocking out on a six-stringed, amplified guitar or rocketing through the sky, he's always giving it 100 percent — Diddy style.”

—Donkey Kong 64 Player's Guide, page 5

“Little Diddy presents a small target to the other players. In fact, he's so small that you won't see him until you're almost on top of him. With this in mind, it's a good idea for Diddy to use the telescopic zoom and attack from a distance.”

—Donkey Kong 64 Player's Guide, page 118

DK: King of Swing

“Diddy Kong is lightning quick and a good jumper. His light physique could make him vulnerable in attack-based contests, though...”

—Diddy Kong Racing instruction booklet, page 21

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

“Small but dependable, Diddy Kong has been Donkey Kong's companion for many an adventure. The Barrel Jet on his back lets him hover above the ground.”

—Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Website bio

“Donkey Kong’s most trusted and best friend throughout the country, Diddy has had DK's back since their duo was conceptualized. Diddy has been along on just about every adventure and is a very dependable, supportive character. While he may lack the brute strength that DK shows, he more than makes up for with his ingenuity and mechanical prowess, as well as his tight controls and fast movements. This little guy sports a jetpack and dual Peanut Popguns as well. Did I mention he has a jetpack? That has to account for something.”
