Description Had a little trouble uploading this. Drawing it was a bit fun. Anyways, about this picture...

Rareware designed some of the most interesting characters. These two characters are very fun to play as in multiplayer, maybe simply because of the way they look between Diddy Kong's pot belly and navel sticking out of his shirt all the time or the dataDyne Shock Trooper's battle suit complete with the mask and helmet.

recommended this to me, giving me three ideas and I decided to go with this one. Of course, when it comes to bellies, my aim is cuteness. Quite frankly, both are playable characters in their own games which reflect the oddest aspects of the infamous Rareware purchase by Microsoft. For Diddy Kong, his own racing game replaced Banjo and Conker with Dixie and Tiny Kong, which is unfortunate because Diddy Kong Racing was the game of their first appearance. Likewise, the dataDyne Shock Trooper's game, Perfect Dark, had one of its cheat codes renamed to Monkey Mode, which is also unfortunate because Donkey Kong Mode was probably meant by Rareware to celebrate another of its greatest successes with Nintendo.

Want another contrast? While Diddy Kong is officially a Mario character as he appears in many Mario spinoffs, the Shock Trooper, to me, is a perfect resemblance of Microsoft's most iconic franchise, Halo. That pistol that he is pointing at Diddy Kong's belly button is called the M6D Personal Defense Weapons System, the overpowered pistol from Halo CE.

Maybe Diddy will surrender and become a DiddyDyne employee.... Yes everyone will make puns at him, poor lil monkey!

dataDyne + Diddy = DiddyDyne!

Lol. Two opposite sides of the Rareware Civil War in my book.

Thank you for the comment. I love drawing Diddy Kong! He's adorable!

I actually imagined Diddy Kong as an animal companion of one of the Carrington Institute agents, using his peanut popguns as if they were his little spy pistols. His method of stealth would be acting cute and cuddly so people either do not suspect him or they don't want to even if they do.

Hahaha that's hilarious kinda reminds me of Puss n Boots from Shrek how he does that to look cute and get out of trouble.

Said is part of Diddy's backstory in my fan fiction about him, which also portrays him as a Chaotic Good parkour on top of that.
Here's the first episode: monguin.deviantart.com/art/Did…

Here's where I introduce you to my fan characters, Diddy Kong's half-penguin descendants.

That's okay. The whole thing is pretty epic and I only expect readers to read at their own pace.

Maybe datadyne could just spare him the pain by whacking diddy's belly with the gun instead of shooting it. I know his belly will hurt pretty bad, but better that than dead.

Poor Diddy... cursed with Gus syndrome in that his shirt is too short and shows his entire belly. And he is also cursed with the Smee treatment in that everyone wants to threaten it...
