Diddy possess a decent aerial game. His forward aerial has above average knockback and surprising range, making it a viable KO move and useful for edgeguarding, though it has the most landing lag out of all of his aerials. His back aerial, up aerial, and neutral aerial are all relatively fast, with the former being another decent option for edgeguarding and a very quick way to grab bananas in midair, though the latter is rarely used in competitive play. His down aerial is a solid meteor smash (similar to {{SSBB|Wolf}}'s down aerial) with some startup lag.

In summary, Diddy Kong is a fast, medium-weight character with agile moves that combo well from his versatile Banana Peels. His KO power is below average, forcing a reliance on racking up damage for KOs, and he generally relies on his bananas to set up KOs. On counterpick stages, his Banana Peels are not as useful as on [[neutral stages]], making it more difficult for a Diddy player to win a set if they do not win the first match.
