Diddy Kong was originally created as a visual "extra hit" during the development of Donkey Kong Country . Having noted the "Big Mario to small Mario" system used in the Super Mario games, Rare decided that having a second character filling the role would fit the nature of the game well. The design for the character was originally intended to be a redesign of Donkey Kong Jr. , but Nintendo felt that their design was too different, and asked that Rare either include Junior with his original appearance or make the new design an entirely different character. Rare, feeling that the design fit the "updated" Donkey Kong universe that they were aiming to create, had decided to keep their design.
