Monkey Flip
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Monkey Flip is Diddy Kong's Side Special Move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Diddy Kong leaps forward towards the enemy, latches onto them, and begins attacking. Any attack button can be used to push off of them, knocking them away. As the move sends Diddy forward, it can be used as a recovery, and it can be used in conjunction with his Up+B recovery, as it does not put Diddy into a helpless state afterwards. If the player attacks during Diddy's sideways momentum, Diddy sticks a foot out, and will kick the opponent instead of latching on. However, this kick prevents Diddy from using his triple jump. By pressing the jump button after latching onto an enemy, Diddy jump onto the enemy's head and pushes them downwards, which performs a Footstool Jump. The Monkey Flip can also set up a Diddycide, although the Footstool Jump is almost always a strictly better option. Like Chomp, this attack can block Snake's recovery.
