Kiddy Kong makes his first appearance as one of the main playable characters alongside [[Dixie Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. At [[Funky's Rentals]] in the [[Northern Kremisphere]], Kiddy Kong is playing with items until Dixie Kong arrives, who is searching for Donkey Kong and [[Diddy Kong]], who had gone exploring the [[Donkey Kong Island|DK Isles]] but had not returned home for two days. Because Kiddy Kong has high strength, Funky Kong recommends Dixie Kong to take Kiddy Kong with her to search for Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. They had disappeared due to Kremling Krew capturing them, now lead by [[KAOS]] on [[Mekanos]]. After the Kongs defeat KAOS in [[Kastle KAOS|his castle]] in [[KAOS Kore]], they discover KAOS is actually King K. Rool, in his Baron K. Roolenstein alias, controlling KAOS from behind the scenes. In the post-game, both characters are charged by [[Wrinkly Kong]] with finding the hidden [[Banana Bird]]s hidden across the continent to rescue the [[Banana Bird Queen]], who had been imprisoned by Baron K. Roolenstein. | Kiddy Kong makes his first appearance as one of the main playable characters alongside [[Dixie Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''.

In the ''[[Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]", a huge [[UFO]] begins pulling the [[Earth]] away from the sun, resulting in a sudden drop of temperature all over the planet. This also affects the Kongs' jungle, so Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and [[Cranky Kong]] set off to carry out negotiations with the aliens. Kiddy Kong joins them on their mission into space. However, he stays in the space shuttle with Cranky Kong, while Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Dixie Kong begin discussions with the aliens. Their mission ultimately ends in success, and the aliens leave the planet in peace. At the end of the comic, Donkey Kong is depicted joyfully throwing Kiddy Kong in the air. | In the ''[[Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]", a huge [[UFO]] begins pulling the [[Earth]] away from the sun, resulting in a sudden drop of temperature all over the planet.

In ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'', Kiddy is mentioned in one of [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]]'s notes. In it, Dixie states that he played the [[bongo]]s for the first time and understood the principle of hitting both sides at the same time immediately. Due to a translation oversight, Kiddy is referred to as '''Dinky''', his Japanese name. | In ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'', Kiddy is mentioned in one of [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]]'s notes.

Kiddy Kong has the typical ape-like attributes associated with every Kong, and his appearance has currently never changed. He is a portly toddler who wears light blue pajamas and sometimes a green pacifier. His pajamas are short sleeved with a few yellow, round buttons on them, and his pants go all the way around his feet. Because of Kiddy's short and small legs, his pajamas appear to be a little too big for him.

He is a portly toddler who wears light blue pajamas and sometimes a green pacifier. His pajamas are short sleeved with a few yellow, round buttons on them, and his pants go all the way around his feet. Because of Kiddy's short and small legs, his pajamas appear to be a little too big for him. Kiddy's arms, however, appear to be quite long and burly, displaying his strength. Even as a toddler, he is much bigger than his partner, Dixie Kong, in size, and is about the same size as Donkey Kong. However, because he is so large, he is shown to be very heavy, and he can hardly be lifted up by Dixie. | ||

His eyes are also brown, and they resemble Dixie and Diddy Kong's large eyes. Kiddy is shown to be a little chubby, as his mouth is much bigger than any other part of his face. While his mouth is very big, he has very small ears. Kiddy is overall the youngest member of the Kong family, being three years old. <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20010422021142/http://www.rare.co.uk/recent/games/dkc/castlist/cast_kiddy.html</ref> | ||

Kiddy Kong's | Kiddy Kong's main technique is his rolling ability, where it allows him to defeat many types of enemies, as well as enhance his [[jump]]ing ability. If he rolls off a ledge then jumps, he can make leaps that are much longer than the average jump. Kiddy can also skip across bodies of water by rolling off dry land and jumping just as he hits the surface. In fact, he can make multiple rolling jumps across the water that get progressively higher with each successive skip. This ability allows Kiddy to traverse long sections of water without having to swim through them. | ||
Given his strength, he can pick up objects and certain | Given his strength, he can pick up objects and certain stunned enemies and throw them with ease. As the other Kongs, Kiddy has decent running ability. Although young, he can climb as well as any other member of the Kong Family. | ||
Some abilities of Kiddy Kong are only | Some abilities of Kiddy Kong are revealed only when he teams up with Dixie. Using his considerable strength, Kiddy can throw Dixie incredible distances. By tossing Dixie Kong upwards, Kiddy can help her reach areas and objects that are not within their jumping range. When Kiddy Kong is thrown upwards by Dixie Kong, Kiddy Kong falls down, smashing through fragile areas in the ground. This often reveals [[Bonus Barrel]]s and other secrets. Lastly, if Dixie Kong throws Kiddy against a wall, then jumps on her cousin before the toddler stops rolling, she can ride on top of him as if he were a [[Steel Barrel]]. | ||

Kiddy Kong, as his name implies, has a childish personality | Kiddy Kong, as his name implies, has a childish personality, being a toddler. For example, when Kiddy is defeated and loses a [[Extra life|life]], he throws a tantrum. He is simple and curious like a child; Dixie first finds Kiddy chewing on an old tire, and when the player is not controlling him, he will often pull on his sock. However, he likely does not understand the greater consequences of his actions. For example, if Kiddy and Dixie Kong get a [[Game Over]], the two is imprisoned in a crib with child's toys. While Dixie is clearly upset over being captured, the arrangement upsets him less than Dixie Kong. Kiddy Kong is also considered to have a personality similar to Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, as he seems to be getting into trouble all the time. | ||
