Diddy Kong Costume Guide

Dress like Diddy Kong with a red tee, monkey costume, baseball cap and furry feet.

ABOUT DIDDY KONG:

Diddy Kong is the nephew of Donkey Kong and first appeared in Donkey Kong Country for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).

He is much smaller and more agile than his uncle and is typically depicted wearing a red baseball cap embossed with the Nintendo logo and a red T-shirt with yellow stars.

Since his debut, he has become a beloved Super Mario character and has appeared in multiple popular spinoffs including Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart, and Mario Party.
