Diddy's easily a much more agile little creature than Monsoon is, and Monsoon has never faced anything like a little anthromoporphic monkey before in his existence as a character, which would make it difficult for him to strategize his attacks. Plus, if we take Super Smash Brothers into account, Diddy Kong is capable a lot of foes much deadlier than Monsoon, such as Bowser, Ganondorf, Meta Knight, and even Rayquaza in Subspace Emmisary. Couple that with the fact that Diddy's Rocketbarrels and Peanut Popguns allow for the kind of ranged combat Monsoon really lacks, and the fact that Diddy's got nothing metallic enough on his person for Monsoon to manipulate - maybe some of the rims on the Rocketbarrels, but that's it - to manipulate to his advantage.

Overall, Diddy beats Monsoon with realtive ease.
