Originally known as Donkey Diddy, is a fictional character in the Donkey Kong series of video games, first appearing in the 1994 game Donkey Kong Country. He lives on Donkey Kong Island in the Kongo Jungle, and is identified by his red hat, which has a Nintendo logo on it, and shirt. He is described as the "nephew wannabe" of Donkey Kong in the Donkey Kong 64 manual and occasionally as a chimpanzee, despite his tail. He is noted for his ability to use a jet pack fashioned from a barrel and a pair of wooden guns that shoot peanuts. He was originally intended by Donkey Kong Country developer Rare as an updated version of Donkey Kong Jr., but he was changed to an original character due to Nintendo's response.
