Diddy Kong
is a fictional character in the ''Donkey Kong'' series of video games, first appearing in the 1994 game ''Donkey Kong Country''. He is a young spider monkey who lives on Donkey Kong Island in the Kongo Jungle, and is identified by his red cap, which has a Nintendo logo on it, and a red shirt with two stars. He is described as the "wannabe nephew" of Donkey Kong in the ''Donkey Kong 64'' manual and occasionally as a chimpanzee, despite his monkey-like tail. He was originally created by ''Donkey Kong Country'' developer Rare as an updated version of ''Donkey Kong, Jr.'', but renamed due to Nintendo's response.
Diddy Kong has made many appearances in the ''Donkey Kong'' series, appearing in all ''Donkey Kong Country'' games and ''Donkey Kong Land'' games, notably as the lead character in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' along with Dixie Kong. He received a spin-off called ''Diddy Kong Racing'', and more recently appeared as co-star to Donkey Kong in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''. Through his relationship with Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong has become a prominent character in the ''Mario'' franchise, appearing in several spin-offs. He also made an appearance as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Outside of video games, Diddy Kong appeared in the TV show ''Donkey Kong Country'', where he is played by Andrew Sabiston.
Since appearing in ''Donkey Kong Country'', Diddy has received mostly positive reception, one strong enough to create a fan following, resulting in Diddy getting his own spin-off. He has been featured in several pieces of merchandise, including plush toys and candies. He has been considered a quality character in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', but his design has been met with criticism.
== Concept and creation ==
During the development of ''Donkey Kong Country'', Diddy was originally conceived as an updated version of Donkey Kong Jr. (Donkey Kong's son). Not liking the radical changes Rare had made to Donkey Kong Jr., Nintendo told them that they could either use Donkey Kong Jr.'s original appearance for ''Donkey Kong Country'' or rename their new version of him. Deciding to simply rename the character, who Rare felt was perfect for their updated version of Donkey Kong's world, Rare decided to name this kong 'Diddy' because of the British English slang word 'diddy' which means small.〔''Retro Gamer'', Vol. #43〕
