+'''Diddy Kong''' ({{ja|ディディーコング|Didī Kongu}}, ''Diddy Kong'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', confirmed on August 22, 2007. He is unique, distinct among the cast for his charm and gaiety. Unlike in most ''Donkey Kong'' games and ''Mario'' spin-offs, where Diddy Kong has a cartoonish voice, ''Brawl'' has him using a realistic high-pitched chimpanzee voice (sampled from the commonly used "Chimpanzee Screeche PE026201" stock sound effect) rather than being voiced by {{s|mariowiki|Chris Sutherland}} or {{s|wikipedia|Katsumi Suzuki}}, who first voiced Diddy in ''Mario Power Tennis''. He is also the first playable character to be introduced from the ''Donkey Kong'' universe since the [[Super Smash Bros.|original game]].
-He ranks 4th on the [[tier list]] (the highest-ranked of any ''Mario'' character including sub-series characters). This is mainly because of his ability to throw {{b|Banana Peel|move}}s 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, [[Rocketbarrel Boost]], travels in a predictable 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. Diddy Kong has excellent matchups, having only three slightly unfavorable, and has very strong tournament results.

He is soft countered by three characters, has 6 even matchups, soft counters 15 characters, counters 9, and hard counters 2. Diddy's bananas let him dominate the neutral game, and allow him to rack up damage very quickly (because the bananas do 4% damage every time they are thrown and set up into many very damaging moves). His banana peels shut down ground based characters that lack the tools to fight the bananas, such as {{SSBB|Pikachu}} and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. He has has powerful aerials that give him some air prowess and he is able to beat characters like {{SSBB|Lucario}} this way. Diddy Kong has trouble from opposing campers, like {{SSBB|Snake}} and {{SSBB|Falco}}, as their grenades and lasers respectively shut down his neutral game.

 Diddy Kong was initially a high tier character, ranked 11th on the first tier list (September 2008). However, Diddy Kong players such as {{Sm|NinjaLink}} and {{Sm|ADHD}} showed how powerful his Banana Peels were, utilizing them to create damage-racking combos, defense, and stage control, bringing Diddy Kong into the top tiers, with him rising to 7th on the second tier list (January 2009), 5th on the third (June 2009), then 3rd on the fourth and fifth lists before surpassing long-time #2 character {{SSBB|Snake}} by the sixth tier list (July 2011). Though {{SSBB|Olimar}} and the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}} have since surpassed him, he still remains at 4th place on the eighth (current) tier list, as of April 2013.

 When {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}} has three [[Bullet Bill]]s fired at him by the vehicle escaping with his banana hoard, Diddy Kong leaps from behind Donkey Kong and unleashes his [[Peanut Popgun]]s onto the [[Bullet Bill]]s, destroying them. He then joins Donkey Kong in pursuit of their stolen bananas. At one point, after getting their bananas, they encounter {{SSBB|Bowser}}, who aims the Dark Cannon at the two. Donkey Kong, realizing what is about to happen, then [[Giant Punch]]es Diddy Kong, sending him flying away and star KO'd (but he didn't turn into a trophy as Mario and Luigi did). Donkey Kong is shot instead and captured.
 Then, Diddy Kong comes out of a forest into [[The Lake]]. When he gets to the lake where a crashed Arwing is seen, [[Rayquaza]] comes out of the water and grabs Diddy Kong. Then {{SSBB|Fox}} jumps out of the Arwing which is now on fire due to an attack from Rayquaza. Fox uses his [[Fox Illusion]] and [[Reflector]] to send Rayquaza back into the lake and save Diddy Kong. Fox then makes a hand signal for Diddy to come with him to fight Rayquaza until it faints. After Rayquaza's defeat, Fox begins to leave, but Diddy drags him along to help rescue DK. They battle a Shadow bug clone of Bowser, but upon defeating it, the real Bowser attacks them and Fox flees, dragging Diddy to safety.

 Later, Fox and Diddy get ambushed by Bowser again, who fires a shot at both of them from his Dark Cannon. Diddy is hit and cloned by Shadow bugs, while Fox dodges the shot. {{SSBB|Falco}} arrives just in time and destroys the Dark Cannon, but Bowser gets away in his Koopa Clown Car while the Shadow bug Diddy grows several times its normal size. Fox revives Diddy, who is shocked at what has happened. Diddy Kong and the two Star Fox pilots then fight the Giant Shadow bug Diddy Kong Clone. After the fight, Diddy drags Falco along with him and Fox as they continue through the jungle. Eventually they see Donkey Kong's trophy on a ship in chains. Diddy is mad at this as he, Fox and Falco board the [[Great Fox]].

 After meeting up with Samus and Pikachu, Diddy Kong tries to stop the [[R.O.B. Squad]] members who are setting off [[Subspace Bomb]]s. He shrieks at R.O.B. to do something, but {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} just slumps in sadness. Captain Falcon calls his [[Falcon Flyer]] to escape the doomed factory. They all pile into the ship while [[Meta Ridley]] appears. Diddy can be chosen to fight this boss. After Meta Ridley is defeated, Diddy helps the heroes as the continue their journey into Subspace.
