Template:Character-infobox Conker the Squirrel is a long-time friend of Diddy Kong and Banjo.

In Diddy Kong Racing, Diddy Kong, with help from Squawks the Parrot, manages to contact Conker, asking for help in defeating the evil Wizpig. Conker answers Diddy's plea and ventures to Timber's Island to help in the quest to drive Wizpig off the island. Conker is a middleweight racer, but his vehicles have heavyweight attributes, featuring above average speed, and below average acceleration and turning.

After aiding Diddy Kong in beating Wizpig, Conker returns to his home and has some of his own adventures, most notably the M-rated Conker's Bad Fur Day. Conker has also briefly appeared in the N-Gang comic "Freeze Frame."
