Diddy Kong Racing was the first self-published title by Rare, and marked the first appearance of such characters as Banjo and Tiptup (who would go on to star in the Banjo-Kazooie series).Diddy's childhood friend Timber sends him a letter to help liberate the island, and he answers the call in secret while Timber's parents are visiting his own family. Instead of a straightforward racing game like the Mario Kart series, Diddy Kong Racing was a "racing adventure," a mixture between Mario Kart and Super Mario 64. Diddy Kong Racing took the kart racing genre in a new direction with go-karts, planes, and hovercraft as available vehicles. Two months after Donkey Kong Land III, Diddy made his Nintendo 64 debut, and got his first starring role without any other Kong characters appearing. Rool and the Kremlings also got involved, and while KAOS appeared again, he wasn't being powered by Diddy or DK. Dixie, furious that she wasn't asked along, decided to join forces with Kiddy and find it herself. He and DK took off in a previously unseen part of the Northern Kremisphere in a contest to find the fabled Lost World. His appearance was on the extra life balloons, instead of Dixie Kong. In 1997's Donkey Kong Land III, Diddy appeared as a cameo. Rool was manipulating things behind the scenes, with KAOS feeding off the brain power of Diddy and DK (who were inside of the mechanical monster). Dixie and her cousin Kiddy Kong went on a mission to find them. Meanwhile, an army of Kremlings had appeared in the area under the command of a fake new leader, the cyborg KAOS. Instead, the storyline revolved around him and Donkey Kong disappearing while on vacation in the Northern Kremisphere. When Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! came out two months later, Diddy wasn't playable for the first time. It featured roughly the same plot as DKC2. A follow-up was released in September of 1996 for the Game Boy called Donkey Kong Land 2. At the conclusion of the game, Diddy finally became a full-fledged video game hero. He gained the now permanent star pattern for his shirt, Nintendo logo for his hat, updated fur, nostrils and even a belly button. For this game Diddy's look was slightly updated. Rool and taken to the Kremling home of Crocodile Isle, Diddy set out with his new girlfriend Dixie Kong to get his big buddy back. It wasn't until 1995's Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest that Diddy Kong stepped into the starring role. In this game, Cranky Kong made a challenge that DK and Diddy couldn't retrieve the banana hoard on an 8-bit system, so they once again set out to retrieve it. Diddy's second appearance was on the Game Boy title Donkey Kong Land. He and Diddy went on an adventure across DK Island to get the banana hoard back. Upon being freed, Diddy explained the situation to Donkey Kong, who became extremely upset, but didn't blame him. Rool's Kremling Krew that same night, and as such, Donkey Kong's entire banana hoard was stolen and Diddy was forcefully stuffed into a nearby barrel. However, neither of them expected a siege by King K. To humor him, Donkey Kong put him in charge of guarding his banana hoard at night. In his first game appearance, Donkey Kong Country, Diddy idolized Donkey Kong and wished to become a big, strong video game hero just like him. Diddy Kong's hat has had the Nintendo logo on it since Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Deciding to simply rename the character, who Rare felt was perfect for their updated version of Donkey Kong's world, Rare at first decided on the name "Dinky Kong", but due to unspecified legal issues settled on the name Diddy Kong. 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. He is Donkey Kong's nephew and sidekick in certain games.ĭuring the development of Donkey Kong Country, Diddy was originally meant to be an updated version of Donkey Kong Jr. He lives on Donkey Kong Island in the Kongo Jungle, and is easily identified by his red hat, which has a Nintendo logo on it, and shirt.
