The team reappeared in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', now known as the '''DK Wilds'''; when the Sub-Captain, [[Diddy Kong]], heads the team, its name is '''Diddy Monkeys'''. Its home stadium is [[DK Jungle (baseball stadium)|DK Jungle]]. The DK Wilds' lineup has changed drastically, now being ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]''-themed by including some members of the [[Kong]] Family. Almost all the Kongs share good chemistry with each other. However, the team is also composed of King K. Rool and four Kritters, who all have bad chemistry with the Kongs, though they do have good chemistry with each other. Baby DK is also compatible with all the Kongs (excluding the captain and sub-captain) along with other teams, such as the [[Yoshi Islanders|Yoshi Eggs]], where he shows good chemistry with all the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], and [[Baby Mario|the]] [[Baby Luigi|other]] [[Baby Peach|baby]] [[Baby Daisy|players]] who are on the [[Mario Sunshines|Mario Fireballs]] and [[Peach Monarchs]].  All the common enemies who appeared in the previous installment have now joined with [[Wario]].

The team has powerful hitters and excels at defense, though a couple of them are poor runners.
