Super Smash Bros 4 Characters: Diddy Kong Shows off Twin Rocketbarrel as the Villager and Little Mac Go Flying (PICTURE)

Super Smash Bros 4's newest Pic of the Day shows off the recently added Diddy Kong's Twin Rocketbarrel attack as he sends opponents, Little Mac and the Villager, flying across the screen.

"The twin rocketbarrels are back, now with the ability to launch along more horizontal trajectories. They can also come off when opponents hit them mid-boost," wrote Masahiro Sakurai in the Nintendo Miiverse. See the posting and picture here.

Super Smash Bros 4 celebrated the release of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze by announcing the return of Diddy Kong to the game series last week.

Making his first appearance in SSB Brawl for the Wii, Diddy is Donkey Kong's trusty sidekick for over 20 years, and will continue on for the Wii U and 3DS.

"Pic of the day. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is out now in Europe and North America! ...And to celebrate, Diddy Kong joins the battle!!" Masahiro Sakurai wrote on the Nintendo Miiverse. "We've increased Diddy Kong's flexibility this time. This picture shows how far his punches stretch during his strong side attack."
