Diddy Kong is a quick, mid-lightweight character. He is capable of [[wall cling]]ing and [[crawl]]ing. Diddy Kong has a sliding [[Dash attack canceled up smash|DACUS]], which racks up a lot of damage. Many of his attacks have good speed and have decent power to back them. His KO power is low due to his few KO moves and a general weakness in his smashes, which [[Stale move negation|stale]] very quickly if he uses them too much for racking damage, which forces a reliance on meteor smashes for early KOs.

Diddy also has two projectiles: his [[Peanut Popgun]] and [[Banana Peel (move)|Banana Peel]]s. Peanut Popgun, while not particularly strong, is a decent mid-range move for racking up easy damage. In comparison, his Banana Peels, which have the property of tripping opponents, form a much more integral part of his metagame, as they combo well into his other moves, and allow him to setup KOs. The [[glide toss]] option provided by the Banana Peels is invaluable, as it allows Diddy to rapidly approach and retreat. If an opponent is tripped by a thrown Banana Peel, Diddy can follow up with another glide tossed Banana to continue the combo, and end with a down or forward smash for a KO. In conjunction with his quick dash attack, large grab range, and powerful throws, Bananas provide Diddy with excellent ground options and stage control. Banana Peels can also help him escape certain chaingrabs, such as {{SSBB|King Dedede}}'s, and certain grab releases. However, as Banana Peels are items, they can be used against Diddy even by opponents without [[reflection|reflectors]].
