I still remember the first day I saw donkey Kong country. My brother and I were watching MTV late at night in the mid 90s and a super Nintendo commercial came on. It was a bunch of smash cuts of upcoming games flickering quickly on the screen. One or two seconds per game. Suddenly two seconds of a game featuring a monkey riding a rhino flickered on screen and my brother and I both set bolt upright and were like" DID YOU SEE THAT?". We wound up video recording it and pausing it just so we could look at the screen and try to make out what kind of game it was supposed to be. We just called it the monkey rhino game until it was official announced as donkey Kong country a couple of months later. It can't be understated how amazing that game looked back then.

2:24 oh my... Diddy looks so done with life in this sketch, like an old detective after 40 years of work with the scum of the city. Give him a coconut full of whiskey and a cigarette made of banana leaves and he will sit in his treehouse, in the dark, and he will brood the whole night about what went wrong with his life

"... as well as making the player not feel alone on their journey!" I always liked that about Diddy. It was also one of the things I liked about Tails in the Sonic series, but it felt like I was unfortunately the only one!

"Diddy's Desperate Search For. A Good Name For His Game" is honestly my favorite of the potential names

Not counting any Pokemon, Diddy is my favorite Nintendo character

They really missed an opportunity passing on, "Diddy & Female with Hair".

Diddy had a unique personality that was ruined when Rare left

Everything about Nintendo and Rare's relationship and ownership of characters is really interesting! I remember when people argued that King K Rool didn't show up in DKC Returns or Tropical Freeze or even Smash Bros simply because Rare owned the rights to the character. (Ignoring the fact that he had shown up in the Mario Baseball games) Even the pin on Dixie's hat was something I never really thought about and, although it's such a tiny detail, is a shame that the pin was removed.

Wish they'd make Diddy King Racing again. Was awesome!

The modern Donkey Kong is supposed to be Donkey Kong Jr. (since Cranky Kong is the original DK). Then, having DK and DK Jr. in the same place means that, much like Mario and Baby Mario, they're one and the same! :O

I Love the names:Diddy Kong in space even though he is not and Diddy Kong search for a decent name

If you have the Diddy Kong amiibo you can unlock his cap and shirt in Super Mario Odyssey. Or wait until they are available in Crazy Cap by collecting enough Power Moons.

Oh, the soundtrack brings me right back to my childhood. Words can't describe how I loved the Donkey Kong Country games for the SNES when I was a kid. They weren't just the next best thing to Mario, they were equal, if not a tad better until Mario 64 came along. But I hate Diddy Kong Racing to this day for its difficulty, especially during later boss battles.

Great vid yo! You've done little buddy proud!

@5:11 my brain instantly thought I was watching a The Completionist's video xD

I thought I must've been dyslexic since I called the second DKC game "Diddy Kong's Quest" for the longest time, but maybe it was some early screenshot or magazine article that gave me the impression!

THis was really interesting! thanks

My favorite Donkey Kong character now and forever

I've been to that Zoo, and it was even back when they were making DKC.

“Diddy you know?” Such a missed opportunity!

Donkey Kong Country Returns is one of the most fun games I've ever played.

Hey look it’s diddy!

"Diddy's Quest for a Decent Name for his Game" i love it

Hey DidYouKnowGaming! If you ever plan on making an episode on Super Mario Odyssey, then I believe I found an Easter egg in the game: There is a specific moon that you obtain by capturing a lukitu, followed by using motion controls to catch a fish. Everything about the mini event is a reference to a game that shipped with all early 3DSs. (what's the plural of DS?) The game is called AR Games. It used AR cards and the 3DS camera to play augmented reality games, ranging from shooting targets to taking pictures to... Fishing. From the design of the fishing rod to the fish silouetts to the lakitu itself, all could be found in the lesser known game that could be played the moment a brand new 3DS gets turned on.

this episode should have been called "diddy you know gaming" ;)

"Diddy's Quest for a Decent Name for his Game". GOLD

"Diddy & female with hair, Diddy & Diddy in a dress"" funniest names on that list 😂

When you run out of Ideas but imma stay subbed

I had no idea DK Jr was planned for Double Dash. It would be cool if Nintendo threw out the whole "DK is DK Jr" thing and brought him back. It would be sweet to have a game with Diddy and Jr together.

Did you know? I use to think Diddy's Kong Quest was suppose to be Diddy's Conquest, like he was taking over the island since Donkey Kong was gone.

I only played Timber exclusively. Orange was my favorite color, tigers were my favorite animal, Diddy Kong Racing was my favorite.

Kong Quest = Conquest HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THIS!?!?!?

Woah, almost thought I was watching the Completionist at 5:10 Of course, it's no secret that Jirard is a huge DKC fan.

OmG I LOVED ditty Kong raceing. It was so much fun

Mighty Morphin' Power Diddy.........Go Go Power Diddy!

First time i saw and played donkey kong on snes was in a toysrus. Someone had the level paused on one of those rail cart levels. I thought it was amazing and insanely fun

I'm still hoping for some of the tracks to feature at future Mario Kart game, as well as a playable Diddy Kong

I honestly thought the name of the game Was Diddy Kong's Quest, though for the record the only DKC game I ever played was the Game Boy port of the original Donkey Kong Country, which was pretty good

The completionist bonus song is weird but awesome to here elsewere XD

I was laughing when reading through the list of potential names for DKC2. Many of those names are beautiful, I love Rare's humor and I love how they didn't take their work too seriously and still had fun. Also, could someone give me the pic of that list? I can't find it in the sources.
