Dixie Kong is a prominent recurring character of the Donkey Kong series who has appeared as the star of two games and as a sidekick or supporting character in others. She is a small monkey of the Kong clan who is known for her long ponytail, which she can spin to glide through the air and to lift items as if it were a third appendage. Dixie is known as the best friend and possible girlfriend of Diddy Kong.
Background
In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Dixie served as Diddy's sidekick during his quest to rescue Donkey Kong from Kaptain K. Rool on Crocodile Island. She stood up for Diddy when Cranky Kong told Diddy he was not experienced enough to take on the challenge. Together, Diddy and Dixie were able to thwart K. Rool.
Dixie Kong later starred in her own adventure in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble. Donkey Kong and Diddy had gone missing, so she and Kiddy went on an adventure across the Northern Kremisphere to find them. This brought them into battle with the Kremlings and their mysterious leader KAOS, who turned out to be a robot operated by an undercover K. Rool. Dixie and Kiddy were able to save Donkey Kong, Diddy and the Banana Bird race while defeating K. Rool. Dixie and Kiddy went on a second adventure together in Donkey Kong Land III when they raced K. Rool in the race to find the mysterious Lost World. Dixie and Kiddy were able to defeat K. Rool again and win the challenge.
Dixie was also among the racers who helped Diddy Kong to free Timber's Island from the wrath of Wizpig in Diddy Kong Racing DS. This is the first game where she appeared alongside her sister, Tiny Kong.
Dixie later joined the bongo-playing craze in Donkey Konga 2 and toured with Donkey and Diddy after breaking up an argument between them. She's also become acquainted with the sports of the Mushroom Kingdom, as she has participated in Mario Superstar Baseball Mario Hoops 3-on-3 and Mario Super Sluggers. And Dixie was also playable in the Jungle Jam mode of DK: King of Swing and the multiplayer mode of DK: Jungle Climber (in which she was partnered with Funky Kong). She was also one of the three starting Kong racers in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, with her Kremling rival being Kass.
Trivia
- Dixie appeared as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee (when even Diddy was left out of getting a trophy), Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS/Wii U. Dixie is also listed as a fighter in a text dump of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, though she did not make the final cut. Whether she would have been a separate character, teamed up with Diddy, or even a clone of Diddy is unknown.
- One strange discrepancy about Diddy Kong Racing DS is that Tiny, who was originally described as the younger sister of Dixie, appeared to have grown into a teenager. This makes her look older than Dixie, who still appears to be a child.
- Dixie and Tiny were added to Diddy Kong Racing DS to fill the gap left by Conker and Banjo, who were unavailable to the remake due to copyright issues.
- In Super Mario Odyssey, there are several locations in New Donk City that are named after her: Dixie Street (which is apparently the location of Diddy's Mart) and the Dixie Theatre.
