Special Moves
Peanut Popgun
Diddy's standard projectile is great. You can quickly tap it for a barrage of arced peanuts. The longer you hold it, the farther it goes, but the arc's angele shortend. With practice, it's easy to hit anyone on a small or medium stage. For Maximum damage and distance, wait until he reaches for his hat then release
Monkey Flip
Monkey Flip has a trick that's odd for most grabbing moves: You have to be somewhat away from your opponent, compared to being right next to him.Once grabbed, you can press any button to attack them, or press up (only up) to jump off of their head. While flipping, press any button to go from a flip to a kick.
Rocketbarrel Boost
Rocketbarrel Boost can be used as a short distance recovery, but can be charged up to a long recovery. The trick is to know when to release it. When on the bottom of a platform, you must release it before you go off screen. If you get attacked while charging, the barrels fly off, but you can use it again. Also, be wary of where you aim it. Curve too far, and you'll end up under the platform.
Banana Peel
Diddy Kong can create two banana pells. on the plus side, they don't affect Diddy Kong, and he can keep spawning them up. There can only be two on the stage at all times, however. On the downside, they don't last very long, and disapear fast. If an opponent steps on one, he or she is stuned breifly.
Final Smash: Rocketbarrel Barrage
Type 1 KO Potential: 5 Rating:6
Diddy's Final Smash puts two rocket barrels on his back and gives him rapid-firing peanut guns. By pressing any attacking buton, he fires peanuts in the opposite direction it's facing. It actually has a low damage rate, and it's had to control. However, with proper control, it's possible to KO multiple opponents. Either focus on one opponent at a time, or fire into the crowd. Try to keep it slow on smaller stages so you don't go too far.
Basic Strategies
With Diddy Kong, always try to keep two banana peels on the stage at all times. They're a great item that dosen't affect Diddy, but breifly makes your opponent stunned. Try to stay near the bananas when facing close combat opponents. For projectile users, try putting them near the stage's edges.
On a small stage, you can use the peanut gun to hit anyone virtually anywhere. Stand either high up or near the stage edge, and fire away. If anyone tries to get too close to you, execute a Monkey Flip. However, mix it up and use the kick (press any button during the flip) to keep your opponent guessing.
Diddy can wall jump and cling to walls. He is one of the few characters that can do this. If falling off a stage, make sure to use this. Simply press towards the wall to cling on shortly. Make sure to use this before you use his recovery move.
Advanced Strategies
Diddy's advanced strategies are really adding on to the basic one, and a harder alternative. To annoy your opponents, spawn one or two bananas. Grab the banana and fire the Peanut Popgun. Then throw the banana and fire again. Repeat if you spawned two bananas.
While in close combat, try to grab him or her and knock them away. When they're on the ground, wait till they get back up. When they do, execute a short jump (quickly tap jump) to dodge any attack they have, and use his down midair attack. This attack does good damage with a high KO rate.
Expert Strategies
There isn't much to Diddy's expert strategies. When using his Monkey Flip you can press up once you've grabbed them. While in the air, you can come back down on your opponent with his down aerial attack.
Use his standard attack combo often, but not for long periods of time. Short little bursts.Use his standard midair attack to hit in all directions. Make use of this when on the ground by using a short jump with it.
Diddy Kong is all about constantly hammering your opponent. Never stop moving unless you're charging up his gun.
1 on 1
Use the advanced strategies heavily in 1 on 1 battles. Also make sure to alternate when using the Monkey Flip to the kick too. Make sure on larger stages to be within range of your Peanut Popgun.
Free for All
In Free For Alls, try to stay away from the Monkey Flip, unless you turn it into the kick. On smaller stage, make sure the bananas fall towards the center of the stages, or throw them often.
Against
The hard thing about Diddy Kong is that he has many ways to keep you away from him. Use a varation of short jumping, side steping and rolling to get near him. Be wary of his downward aerial attack. But just stick close to him, and you should be fine.
