By datamining a demo build of the game, an image of Donkey Kong Jr. can be found, suggesting that he may have been planned to appear in the game instead of Diddy Kong. Interestingly, Diddy Kong's internal filename in the final version is listed as "dk_jr," suggesting that Diddy's appearance may have been a later addition.

Donkey Kong Jr. technically is still there since the modern Donkey Kong is Donkey Kong Jr. as an adult, as explained by many things since the release of Donkey Kong Country such as Donkey Kong Jr. not being in Mario Kart: Double Dash and the default character lineup in Mario Kart 7, but it's still debatable to this day on if they are or aren't the same person. Really it would've made no sense for DK's partner to not be Diddy or any other Kong.
