Nintendo characters - Diddy Kong

Diddy was recently announced for Brawl, so what better time to write a profile on him than now... at 11:40 PM...

Anyway, Diddy Kong is the short friendly monkey who happens to be Donkey Kong's buddy. While DK's sole piece of clothing is his famous neck tie, Diddy has a hat with the Nintendo logo on it and a t-shirt with a couple yellow stars. He's the Yoshi, Tails, or Dexter of the Donkey Kong universe, being the great Kong's sidekick...

In the beginning, Diddy admired and cheerished Donkey Kong and loved every moment he had with him. He wished to someday become a big and strong kong, though from the looks of it this aspiration of his isn't going too hot, seeing that he's still the scrawny and angular monkey that he's always been. Though these attributes don't seem to be entirely negative, seeing that he's much more agile than his stronger, more admirable and dandy Kong bud.

On multiple occasions Diddy even had to save Donkey Kong, with the help of another "friends", or shall I say girlfriend! Like, ZOMG, the hottest couple in the jungle!... Dixie Kong is the female monkey that you've probably seen in many DK games, and her specialty is twisting her hair around, thus allowing her to glide in the air longer than her male counterpart...

Well, anyway, Diddy Kong started to become quite popular, and on more than one special occasion did he even star in his own game, including Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Donkey Kong Land 2, Diddy Kong racing, and the DS remake of the later game. He's even crossed the border to appear in multiple Mario titles including Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Superstar Baseball and many others (mostly, if not all sports related titles).
