* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: During K. Rool's last phase in the Flying Krock, he'll shoot colored gas at the Kongs, while harmless, will give a temporary negative effect that will make them an easy target for his next attacks. Blue gas freezes the Kongs in place, red gas slows them down (including their gravity), and purple gas reverses their controls.

''Diddy's Kong Quest'' is the second game in Rare's ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' trilogy for the UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem, Platform/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem, released in 1995. The game was remade for the Game Boy Advance Platform/GameBoyAdvance in 2004.



The best-selling standalone game for the SNES, with over five million copies sold, good for sixth-best-selling overall[[note]]behind ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioAllStars'', ''[[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry1 Donkey Kong Country]]'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioKart'', and ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Street Fighter II: The World Warrior]]'', all of which were pack-in games sold with SNES consoles in certain markets[[/note]]. Like [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry1 its predecessor]], ''Diddy's Kong Quest'' received a follow-up on the UsefulNotes/GameBoy in the form of ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', the second game in the ''Land'' series. This game is unique in that it kept the names of all but two of the worlds in ''Diddy's Kong Quest'' (the two worlds in question instead had their names combined), but otherwise the levels were completely different from its SNES counterpart.

* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: When Diddy and Dixie first meet Klubba, he's a jerk and demands they pay his toll in Kremkoins, and trying to fight him results in the pair getting smacked off the screen. But after paying his toll, he acts quite friendly to the Kongs and becomes their only Kremling ally in the game. He even roots for them to take down K. Rool, on principle that [[BadBoss he doesn't treat his minions very well]].

* JungleJapes: Though there's no world proper set here, Jungle Jinx and Klobber Karnage from the Lost World have a jungle theme to them. Some parts of Animal Antics have this as well.

* JungleJapes: Though there's no world proper set here, Much of the [[BrutalBonusLevel Lost World]] takes place in a jungle - namely Jungle Jinx and Jinx, Klobber Karnage from the Lost World have a jungle theme to them. Some and parts of Animal Antics have Antics. Unlike the jungles in the [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry1 first game]] however, this as well.is more of a HungryJungle, with denser vegetation, SpikesOfDoom and skulls littering much of the ground, and a generally darker, more savage atmosphere accompanied by tribal music.

* AbnormalAmmo: [[BigBad Kaptain K. Rool]] uses a blunderbuss that fires cannonballs with retractable spikes, ''barrels'' (containing cannonballs) and blobs of gas [[StatusInflictionAttack inflicting various]] [[InterfaceScrew effects]]. The projectiles also sometimes ''bounce'' or get blown about as if the air is being let out of them like balloons.

* HintsAreForLosers: The manual has a section called "Cranky's Hints." There, Cranky just berates you for being so naïve and tell you to buy the upcoming Magazine/NintendoPower guide instead. It also didn't help that the credits show that the manual was made by Nintendo Power as well.



* ItsAWonderfulFailure: The game has Diddy and Dixie locked in a cell (with the screen turning red) while the letters "GAME OVER" descends upon their doom.

* OffModel: The DK Coins. They look fine at a glance, but if you pay attention, you'll notice that you never see them from the back. While this works for the completely solid Kremkoins, the DK Coin's build (the letters "DK" in a hollow ring) make this stick out once you notice it. Notably, this was corrected in the third game, where it actually does do a complete rotation and lets you see the back of it.
