Description
Perhaps one of my sister's favoritest Nintendo characters in the history of ever is Diddy Kong. As a matter of fact, due to his appearance in Brawl as a playable character, I'm willing to assume that he's one of everyone's favoritest Nintendo characters in the history of ever. After all, he DID star in DKC2: Diddy's Kong Quest, which is arguably one of the top ten best Super Nintendo games ever.So yeah, Diddy rocks. But I hate how the barrel turned out. ><

Im glad diddy made it into the game. its time to look back at donkey kongs history
I give this pic a 5 outta 5

"X-Play gives this pic a 4........ out of 5."
But yes, Diddy as a character in SSBBrawl was an awesome idea. I kinda wish they included King K. Rool as a playable villain, though. :/

well......if one extra DK char had to come in. It shud be Dixie kong.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But then again, she'd pretty much just be a clone of Diddy. I thought we'd all agreed that clones = bad.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just like falco is a clone of fox? Falco needs to leave. H8 falco. krystal shud have taken HIS place
Dixie has a few diff abilites just to letcha know
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, they gave Falco quite a few different abilities for Brawl to keep him different from Fox. He's a bit slower, jumps higher, and is a tad stronger than Fox, for example, and his Down B attack has him throwing his Reflector at the enemy instead of just putting it over himself.
And besides the "hairicopter" move that Dixie has, I cannot concieve of one thing that made Dixie different from Diddy in DKC2.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well she cud possibly.......Im outta ideas. but Im still against falco.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Despite that he's a great character to play?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To me, hes just a bunch of dopleganger crap. Falco cant ever make diff weapons. they cud have gave him a bazooka or soemthing. And in his fianl smash, he says he prefers the air but then uses a landmaster. pretty crappy char I say. no offence. People like me ARE allowed to have our own oppinions u know
Wolf though makes a diffrence but I hated wolf when i first saw in star fox 64 him but wanted him in the game cuz hed make a good punching bag for me.
(sorry if I was being a bit of an A hole there)

You want doppelganger crap, check out Samus. How many evil twins has she had to fight? Metroid Fusion had an evil twin, Metroid Prime 2 Echoes had an evil twin... Twice is overkill.
You should also consider that Link and Toon Link have the same final smash. Zelda and Shiek have the same final smash. So what's your point? They're still pretty good characters to play.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
whoa whoa. toon linke has a diffrence. diffrent sword, diffrent speed! faclo IS doppleganger crap! teh point is, its about time someone gives a new star fox char besides wolf a chance to replace falco!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No.
NO.
Toon Link and Link have the exact same Final Smash. Zelda and Shiek have the exact same Final Smash. That was my point. The fact is, multiple characters have the same FS probably due to limited programming time.

Ok this is going to get worse if we speak more of this. change subject plz

Did you hear that someone found Dixie's name with the characters after a Brawl file dump?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hear a lot of things concerning Brawl, and usually I'm not willing to just believe it until I see it for myself. If there's a link to this juicy little bit of probably fiction, please direct me to it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it's from a file dump, so you probably can't find it yourself.

It was on a site called "Destructoid," too.

I can't say just how disappointed I am with the ATs. ONLY 27??? Come on.
Oh well, I guess Nintendo thought they weren't as important as the playable characters...
So who are the ATs?
Lyndis (FireEmblem)
Isaac/Robin (Golden Sun)
Orange Star Military (Advance Wars)
Barbara Bat (Jammin' With the Band--Japan only)
Jeff (Earthbound)
Lakitu (Super Mario Bros.)
Excitebikers (Excitebike)
Little Mac (Punchout!)
Grey Fox (Metal Gear Solid)
Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic Adventure 2)
Hammer Bros (Super Mario Bros.)
Mr. Resetti (Animal Crossing)
Saki Amamiya (Sin & Punishment)
Jill and Drill Dozer (Drill Dozer)
Knuckle Joe (Kirby Superstar)
Nintendog (Nintendogs)
Waluigi (Mario Tennis)
Super Metroid (Super Metroid)
Stafy (Legend of Stafy--Japan Only)
Heiririn (Kururin Paradise--Japan Only)
Samurai Goroh (F-Zero)
Kat & Ana (Warioware)
"Classic" Andross (Starfox)
Dr. Wright (SimCity)
Tingle (Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker)
Ray MKII (Custom Robo)
And, of course, the Devil (Devil World--Japan Only)
Sukupon and Ashley should have been ATs. ><

Only 27? Really? That's STUPID.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And as a fan of Drill Dozer, I feel honored Jill's an AT, but I remember hearing 1st hand accounts of people stating to see Rosalina, Duster, Birdo, and Revolver Ocelot as AT's...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ocelot? Seriously? But there's only one Sonic AT. Thusly, it's likely that the Ocelot sighting is rubbish. Rosalina, Duster, and Birdo on the other hand, could very well be possible, since it would round out the roster to a clean 30.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I heard he walks around and shoots. I don't know what Duster was meant to do, but Rosalina is allegedly surrounded by Lumas and shoots Star Bits randomly on the stage that heal you AND your opponent if they hit you and Birdo does just what he/she/it did in Melee, but on any stage and in THREE-DIMENSIONS!

Well, if you're talking about Super Smash Bros Wiki, I can gaurantee that you should not trust even 50% of what you read there. It's still a pretty new Wikia, and isn't as heavily safeguarded or well-kept as other Wikis. They didn't even list Barbara Bat for example, even though she's in the game according to official sources.
It'd be neat if those characters were in the game, but I'll not hold my breath.

No, I didn't check there. Some guy said he was at Jump Festa and saw them. He also saw Sandbag and Tingle, also stating what the two actually did.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Some guy."
Let's analyze that.
A person of which you've made note of, whom you have very likely never contacted personally, and whom you have no clue about.
In short, a total stranger. I wouldn't trust the words of some guy I meet, especially on the Internet.
By the way, Sandbag is an item, not an AT.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, but he got Tingle just about dead on, and I KNOW Sandbag's an item. I just listed him with the AT's.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, this actually WAS just "some guy," but Rosalina and the rest were removed due to "glitches" or something.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I mean that he SAID Rosalina and such were cut. Sorry. I wasn't really paying attention.

Diddy Cooler then a Barrel or Monkeys great dude

Then he's jaded. Diddy Kong rocks, and it's rare for sidekicks to be not totally annoying.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD True. And, It was a good add to make the game's characters more diverse.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As far as I know, Diddy is the only monkey character in DK. All the others are apes.
Donkey Kong = gorilla
Diddy Kong = spider monkey
Funky Kong = gorilla
Cranky Kong = gorilla
Candy Kong = ... an ape.
Dixie Kong = chimpanzee
Kiddy Kong = gibbon
Chunky Kong = gorilla
Tiny Kong = chimpanzee
Lanky Kong = orangutang

thats an amazing amount of knowledge you posses there on nintendos monkeys
are you gonna use that knowledge for good, or evil?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I'm all for monkeys and apes as video game characters... After all, Donkey Kong and Super Monkey Ball were pretty fun games. (Although the DK series has really hit some hard times since DK64 on N64. Super Monkey Ball's had a few missteps, too--Super Monkey Ball Adventure equals barf.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree with you that DK64 was donkey kongs high point, not including smash bros.
And super monkey ball has gone a bit pear shaped of late
But when I feel like that, I just boot up my old N64 and play one of my favorite games on it
(Then it crashed and I cried for four hours cause all my N64 games had gone and left me too soon)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Um... I wasn't complimenting DK64. DK64 wasn't fun. Everything Mario 64 did to make 3D platformers fun, DK64 destroyed in as few as two levels. The only good thing about the game is that it includes the original Arcade Donkey Kong, a great plus.
If you're not into SMB anymore, you might wanna check out Banana Blitz for Wii. The first-player game is pretty top-notch, along with the graphics, sound, and presentation. The only complaints I have is that the multiplayer is awful (As the AVGN has shown in his Christmas Carol parody) and that the motion controllers kind of wonk out on you when you're trying to enter your name. Other than that, though, it's a definite eight-point-five out of ten.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The complaint I had about with Banana blitz is that it wasn't as intuitive as I thought a wii monkey ball would be
I wanted a game which had kororinpa's control's and monkeys balls cuteness
But sadly they gave a weak waggle instead of level flipping controls
And without the fun and maddening multiplayer (Which dictates a lot of my games worth nowadays), I didn't see the point
I do enjoy the single player, adn the controls for a launch game are admirable, but waht sega need now is a true monkey ball game released for the wii, with no gimicky multiplayer games and less cheatable levels

And if you don't like DK64, thats fine, It always seemed like a bigger version of Banjo-Kazooie
How I miss that game now

Whoa, never noticed that...then again I never played any Donkey Kong games
