'''Diddy Kong''' ({{ja|ディディーコング}}, ''Didī Kongu''), commonly known as just '''Diddy''', is a character for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He is unique, distinct among the cast for his charm and gaiety. Unlike in most ''Donkey Kong'' games and ''Mario'' spinoffs, where Diddy Kong has a cartoonish voice, Brawl has him using a high-pitched chimpanzee-like voice. He is also the first playable character to be introduced from the ''Donkey Kong'' universe since the [[Super Smash Bros.|original game]], much like [[Lucas]]' appearance from the [[EarthBound (universe)|''EarthBound'' universe]]. | Confirmed on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] website on August 22, 2007, '''Diddy Kong''' ({{ja|ディディーコング}}, ''Didī Kongu''), commonly known as just '''Diddy''', is a character for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

He currently ranks 4th on the [[tier list]] (the highest-ranked of any ''Mario'' character including sub-series characters). This is, of course, thanks to his solid [[Banana Peel (move)|Bananas]] that give him great control of the ground and great setup and damage-racking potential (by attacking opponents that have slipped on them), as well as providing good defense, making them one of the best projectiles in the game, giving him a very strong control of the ground. Additionally, he has quick attack speed, good mobility, a solid [[down aerial]] [[meteor smash]], good [[grab]] range, and powerful throws, which aid in his ability to control the stage. However, his primary [[recovery]] move travels in a linear fashion, is easily [[edgehog]]ged, and can be stopped by stage lips. Additionally, his few KO moves, while fast and reliable when fresh, stale quickly and are largely dependent on his Banana Peels for a setup. Regardless of the flaws, Diddy Kong has excellent matchups, having very few disadvantageous matchups, and has very strong tournament results. | He currently ranks 4th on the [[tier list]] (the highest-ranked of any ''Mario'' character including sub-series characters).
