Article on Super Mario Wiki Dixie Kong

Dixie Kong (ディクシーコング, Dixie Kong) is Diddy Kong's girlfriend and a major character from the Donkey Kong series.

Origin

Dixie Kong from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Used as the basis for her trophy in Melee. Note the knee-pads and nailpolish she used to wear and lack of earrings.

Dixie Kong originates as Diddy Kong's inseparable girlfriend and partner in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. She stood out from the rest of the playable Kongs by using her blonde ponytail as a propeller to briefly hover in the air. This is mostly used to help with alignment to land on platforms. She went on to appear in the starring role in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! alongside Kiddy Kong. Since then, she has been one of the most recurring characters of the Donkey Kong franchise, appearing in most Donkey Kong games outside of the original arcade series, and even being retroactively added to remakes of two games she did not initially appear in: Diddy Kong Racing and Donkey Kong Country Returns. Her original design in the SNES games had her beret feature a Rare logo pin to coincide with Diddy Kong having the Nintendo logo across his hat, as Rare was among multiple Western companies with strong ties to Nintendo at that time (known to the press as the "Ultra 64 Dream Team"), and arguably the most prominent having developed the Donkey Kong Country games and gradually approaching an eventual streak of developing multiple pivotal killer apps for the Nintendo 64, though this feature was removed in all of her new appearances following Rare’s acquisition by Microsoft in September 2002, though Rare elements were not omitted from rereleases of earlier Donkey Kong games. Much like Diddy Kong and Kritter, the acquisition of Rare led to Dixie making appearances in mainline Mario titles starting with Mario Superstar Baseball in 2005, though these have been highly infrequent.

Dixie is very brave and has a love for adventure, especially with her boyfriend Diddy Kong. She is also friendly with most other Kongs, particularly her cousin Kiddy Kong and her younger sister Tiny Kong. While Dixie can be childish and a diva at times, specifically being prone to throwing tantrums when defeated, she is also very energetic with a tomboyish streak, participating in many sports and always ready to pick a fight. She loves gumballs, always blowing bubbles and even using them as ammunition for her gun. She also knows how to play the electric guitar and is seen playing one several times, most notably at the end of all levels in Diddy's Kong Quest.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

Trophy

Dixie Kong appears as a trophy, which is exclusively obtained through the Lottery.

More than just Diddy Kong's girlfriend, Dixie Kong is also a fearless adventurer and a reliable team player. She earned her wings helping Diddy rescue Donkey Kong from the clutches of King K. Rool. Dixie's amazingly quick and nimble, and she's even able to twirl her ponytail in order to float slowly through the air.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Dixie was a scrapped design for a playable character, as evidenced by leftover references for "dixie". According to Sakurai, Dixie Kong was intended to be teamed with Diddy Kong, where the two could be tagged out for each other in the midst of battle, similar to how they played in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest; the idea, however, was cut after he ran into technical issues with implementation of the idea, and only Diddy Kong appeared as a solo fighter in Brawl.[1]

In the final game, Dixie Kong appears as a trophy and a sticker of her and the DK Bongo drums. She is also referenced in an alternate costume for Diddy Kong.

In Smash Tour

In Smash Tour, Dixie Kong appears as a red item, which gives the user an extra double jump for the duration of a battle.

Trophy

The Dixie Kong trophy appears in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, her trophy is obtained by getting at least 3 KOs against on a rival in a single Rival Smash with Diddy Kong. It is also part of the Tropical Freeze Trophy Box.

As a costume

Dixie's Hat.

Dixie Kong serves as the basis for the Dixie's Hat Headgear.

Spirits

Dixie Kong also appears as two primary spirits.

Dixie Kong can be summoned using the cores of Tiny Kong and Candy Kong.

Dixie Kong uses an Isabelle puppet fighter and is fought on the Jungle Japes stage. She is fought along a pink Diddy Kong. During the battle, the Banana Peel items appear, referencing the Kongs' shared love for bananas, while Isabelle starts off with a Super Leaf, referencing Dixie Kong's signature move, Helicopter Whirl, which allows her to glide across the stage and reduce falling speed.

Dixie Kong & Kiddy Kong can be obtained by enhancing the Dixie Kong spirit at level 99.
