Be cautious at high percentages, as you can risk losing the banana to an opponent if you're knocked off-stage, potentially giving them a kill setup. Additionally, characters with strong projectiles or zoning tools can challenge Diddy’s approach, so be ready to adapt your strategy to avoid getting overwhelmed.
