| “ | He's back again and about time too, And this time he's in the mood! He can fly real high with his jetpack on with his pistols out, he's one tough Kong! He'll make you smile when he plays his tune, But Kremlings beware 'cause he's after you! |

- Despite the danger, Diddy tried to fight Bowser twice (once for stealing the Banana Hoard and the other was to take revenge for Donkey’s kidnapping). It’s however Donkey and Fox McCloud who ended up saving his life with by sacrificing himself and taking him to safety, respectively.
- Despite forcing Fox and (later) Falco Lombardi to help him rescue Donkey from the Subspace Army, Diddy knew that he couldn’t free him alone. Excluding this rough start, he acts very friendly towards both Fox and Falco.
- When Donkey is rescued, Diddy thanks Falco for his help and waves him goodbye.
- Saves the world of Smash from being taken over by Tabuu, Galeem and Dharkon.
Trivia[]
- He was originally Near Pure Good because he was considered somewhat mischievous and arrogant. However, when it was determined he eventually subverted those qualities and met his series' heroism standard, he was re-evaluated as Pure Good.
- His TV series version does not count due to him being an arrogant, jealous and selfish jerk who constantly gets his friends, mainly DK, into trouble and shows no guilt or remorse over his actions whatsoever.
- He is one of only two characters from the Donkey Kong series who is considered Pure Good along with his girlfriend, Dixie Kong, since Donkey Kong and every other character in the franchise has far too many corrupting factors and/or is too standard.
