| The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
| When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified.

Diddy Kong (ディディーコング, Diddy Kong) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Unlike his previous appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series, Diddy Kong is now an unlockable character instead of a starter character. Diddy Kong is classified as fighter #36.
Diddy Kong's voice is once again comprised of his realistic chimpanzee screeches that were used in both Brawl and Smash 4.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release. |
Aesthetics
As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Diddy Kong's model features a more subdued color scheme. Like Donkey Kong, his fur is less detailed than the previous installment.- Diddy Kong is more expressive. His hat also appears to be "looser" around his head, popping off slightly while performing many actions.
- Diddy Kong now faces more towards the screen. As a result, his stance, moveset, and animations are now mirrored.
Attributes
Like all characters, Diddy Kong's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete (down from 4).- Diddy Kong dashes much faster.
- Diddy Kong is lighter.
Ground attacks
- Neutral attack no longer has a multi-jab and instead finishes with a quick side kick. This makes the move much more consistent.
Diddy Kong's down tilt has greater knockback, reducing its combo potential at higher percents.
Aerial Attacks
- All aerials have reduced landing lag.
Special Moves
- Diddy Kong can now hold Peanut Popgun on either right hand or left hand depending on the direction he turns towards.
- Monkey Flip travels a shorter distance.
- Rocketbarrel Boost's range appears to be shortened.
- Banana Peel has a snappier animation.
- Diddy Kong appears to throw the Banana Peel much higher than before.
- Banana Peel appears to have more startup lag.
- If the Banana Peel is thrown at an opponent once with the respective peel, it no longer disappears until thrown at again, allowing Diddy Kong to quickly pick it up again and reuse it. However, this also means his opponents can do the same when it is out.
- Hyper Rocketbarrel, Diddy Kong's new Final Smash, functions differently from Rocketbarrel Barrage. Diddy Kong now flies through the stage in an erratic fashion to collide with his trapped opponents. The final hit is where Diddy Kong does a delayed, aimed punch, dealing heavy knockback. Diddy Kong then lands and deactivates his Rocketbarrel Pack at the spot where he first used the move.
Role in World of Light
Diddy Kong was among the fighters that were summoned to fight the army of Master Hands.
Diddy Kong was present on the cliffside when Galeem unleashed its beams of light. He attempted to fly away with Rosalina & Luma using his activated Rocketbarrel Pack, but a beam of light hit him and he was vaporized and transformed into a spirit along with the other fighters, excluding Kirby.
