The unlocking of new character in Mario Tennis Aces is based on a fixed principle. Diddy Kong is no exception. Play between 1 September and 30 September in an online tournament and you can immediately start using this character.

If you do not want to get started in an online tournament then this character will be available after September 30th.

Another use when releasing a new character is to show what this character can do. Nintendo always uses a short trailer to introduce the character.

He runs speedy to all corners of the field, but is technically a little less strong. Curious about all the characteristics of Diddy?
