Diddy about to hop on a Krochead in Hot-Head Hop.
- "What happened? Did you get lost?"
- —Cranky Kong
Diddy's Dash is a minigame introduced in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. It is the successor to Donkey Kong Country's remake's mini-game, "DK Attack". As such, it is like a time trial mode.
Overview
The main objective is for the player to play as Diddy solo (hence the name), through the game's stages while being timed. He must reach the end in the lowest time to get a high score. While running, a line of stars appear throughout the stage, which acts as checkpoints and also a way to freeze the clock for a few seconds.
All enemies and bananas are present as normal, however all DK Barrels are replaced with crates while DK Coins and Bonus Stages are all completely eliminated.
