Diddy Kong (ディディーコング, Didī Kongu) will be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. He was confirmed on February 21, 2014, the international release date of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. This was the first time a character was revealed for an international release of a game as oppose to just the Japanese release. Like Donkey Kong, Diddy has more stylised fur than he did in Brawl. Like other veterans Diddy Kong's pigments are more prominent than they were in Brawl, with the visual sharpness of his red attire and brown fur increased.

Confirmed information

• Diddy Kong's more elastic limbs stretch out farther in his attacks, which will give an apparent significant increase in the reach of his attacks.
• The following moves appear visually unchanged:
  • Forward tilt
  • Back air
  • Up taunt
  • Down taunt
• Diddy's Up tilt now forms in a fist.
• Peanut Popgun now becomes a powerful attack when it explodes from overcharging.
• Rocketbarrel Boost is now able to move at more horizontal trajectories.
