Diddy Kong

"He's back again and about time too, And this time he's in the mood, He can fly real high with his jetpack on, With his pistols out, he's one tough Kong, He'll make you smile when he plays his tune, But Kremlings beware 'cause he's after you"

- DK Rap

Diddy Kong is Donkey Kong's nephew, sidekick and companion. He and Donkey Kong live in Jungle Japes. At this rate, Diddy helps Donkey Kong on his adventures to defeat King K. Rool. Diddy is a creation of the British company, Rare, Ltd.; however, he has a Nintendo logo on his trademarked red hat, probably because Nintendo owned Rare and the rights to the Donkey Kong franchise at the time. He also appears in Diddy Kong Racing as the main protagonist.
