Why is "pink" Diddy no longer "blonde"? That was my favorite! I woudn't mind seeing a yeti/albino version of Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong had one, so why not?

I didn't make this, so I don't know why.

And Himalayan Diddy sounds awesome.

Like this? Will probably happen cause it was Diddy's vesion of 'Super Kong', aka Super Diddy.

Hope they keep a yellow costume as well. One that resembles Diddy in Hero Mode in DKC1 GBA.

I would like a yellow one, like I used to use in DK64 multiplayer.

But orange is the master color. I want some kind of orange color for everyone.

The alternative costume I liked the most of Diddy in Brawl was the purple one. I really hope it's back this time to.

Yeah purple one is my favorite, but Diddy is one character that I tend to change colors with a lot.

Hopefully Super Diddy is here, Brawl had Super DK before he was a thing lol.

Super Diddy could likely replace the current Blue costume. And if Dixie is in, I doubt Diddy will have the pink color either.

I can see the "Super" version of Diddy replacing the old Blue team color. But other than that, I can't really say what I'd really like to see this time around. I do like the Purple/Yellow color scheme though. It looks pretty good.

I just used the regular color, so......yeah.

Unless they're good this time, I really don't care about them.

He could have his backwards hat and sunglasses (from when he holds a boom box, look it up if you've never seen it).

Now that I think of it. The backwards cap and sunglasses would be a really awesome choice.

Would be nice to see them reference DK Land with a gameboy recolor like they did with Kirby (his green costume is based on gameboy appearances). Could be a blue/green base color with simple, dark features.

Since different Characters can be Alt. Costumes now, since Sakurai said so in a Famitsu Interview on Monday...
Dixie Kong for Alt. Costume. :awesome:

So, is Diddy just going to get 8 different recolors? I really don't want 4 of Diddy's colors to be Dixie a la Peach / Daisy, because Diddy's moves are not for Dixie, but 8 seems like a lot of colors for Diddy. I suppose they could just find 8 colors to use, though. Like:
  • Red (Default)
  • Blue
  • Yellow
  • Green
  • Purple
  • Pink
  • Black
  • White
His recolors just change his clothes and not his fur color, right? They should change his fur color, too.

Hopefully they will have original alternates. I wonder what a Dark Diddy would look like. . .oh wait http://www.celebritynewsbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/p-diddy.jpg He has to come with the coat too

Those are crap.

I don't get why they didn't give us canonical costumes like Super Kong or Hero Mode. Or at least the palette swaps from DK64 multiplayer.

hey guys I'm here a decade from the future and ready to talk more color palettes

This isn't the cleanest edit, but I here's a set of alts for Poochy a while back. They're mainly based on the dogs found in the Yoshi series, with a couple other alts based on other Mario dogs thrown in for good measure. I like how these turned out despite being quick proof-of concepts.
