Diddy Kong has gone on many adventures by himself, occasionally with his girlfriend Dixie Kong , and has even starred in his own racing game for the Nintendo 64 and later in its remake for the Nintendo DS. During the development of Donkey Kong Country , the designers wanted the player to be capable of taking multiple hits, but they also aimed for the screen to be as "clutter-free" as possible, thereby forbidding the usage of a health bar.

The design for the character was originally intended to be a redesign of Donkey Kong Jr. Rare, feeling that the design fit the "updated" Donkey Kong universe that they were aiming to create, had decided to keep their design. The name "Dinky Kong" was chosen, but was later changed to "Diddy" due to legal considerations, although the name would eventually be used as Kiddy Kong 's Japanese name [1]. Here, he is still Donkey Kong's apprentice and an "in-training video-game star". On one night, Diddy Kong is given the task of guarding Donkey Kong's banana hoard.

Like Funky, Cranky has teased Diddy about his relationship with Dixie.

Diddy also returns as a playable character in Mario Golf: World Tour. In the Castle Club's Royal Room, he is seen looking at a bowl of bananas. Golf clubs and a ball based on him are available at the shop, and so are clothes themed after him, where Miis can purchase them from there or by participating in tournaments. His costume can be unlocked if all Star Coin challenges in the Sky Island course are completed. Some of his voice clips are recycled from Donkey Kong When Diddy Kong gets a par, he flips and strikes a pose, and when he gets a birdie, he puts on his jetpack and flies in victory.

If he gets a bogey, he lies down while eating a banana. If he gets a double bogey or worse, he lies down and eats a banana, then tosses the peel and tries to get up, only to slip on the peel in the process.

Additionally, his partner is Donkey Kong, and his own personal car is the Barrel Train.

The small simian arguably makes a cameo in Mario Kart 64 ' s version of Toad Turnpike, in which a bus can be found with what appears to be Diddy's silhouette at the driver's seat-although this has not been officially addressed anywhere and Nintendo was shy about using Rare characters back then, before Rare left for Microsoft.

Diddy returns as a playable character in Mario Kart Wii as a middleweight character, but is unlockable this time. He is unlocked by winning the 50cc Lighting Cup, or by playing races.
