Diddy Kong, who debuted in Donkey Kong Country, is a monkey in a red baseball cap and T-shirt, then later bearing a yellow star on the back. His weapons are the "Peanut Popguns" (two pistols that fire peanuts). His instrument is a guitar (bearing the same star as on his shirt) with the deafening attack "Guitar Gazump". He is the fastest of the Kongs and jumps the highest.
