| '''Dixie Kong''' is a recurring member of the [[Kong]] clan who first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Dixie's trademark ponytail allows her to attack, hold onto objects such as hooks, and hover in the air by spinning it like a rotor, a move called the [[Helicopter Spin]]. Introduced as [[Diddy Kong]]'s strong-willed girlfriend, she has starred in multiple installments of the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series as a playable character. Dixie Kong has a sanguine and energetic personality, and she often expresses herself in cheerful vocalizations and acrobatic mannerisms. She has also made playable appearances in a few ''Super Mario'' spin-off games including the ''[[Mario Baseball (series)|Mario Baseball]]'' series and ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''.

| |
| In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Dixie joins Diddy on his journey to rescue [[Donkey Kong]] from [[Crocodile Isle]]. Dixie's unique and trademark ability is the [[Helicopter Spin]], which allows her to glide across the air. If Dixie hits an [[End of Level Target]] hard enough at the end of a level, she takes out an electric guitar and briefly performs on it before exiting. Their adventure culminates in a boss fight against [[King K. Rool|Kaptain K. Rool]] in [[The Flying Krock]]. They eventually defeat him and free [[Donkey Kong]]. Later in the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lost World]], Diddy and Dixie encounter Kaptain K. Rool again at [[Krocodile Kore]]. After the Kongs defeat Kaptain K. Rool, Crocodile Isle starts to sink underwater, and the Kongs evacuate the island. In the ending, Dixie is seen with Donkey Kong and Diddy, watching as Crocodile Isle sinks underwater.

| In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Dixie has the same voice clips as [[Tiny Kong]], recycled from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. This is later repeated for the Game Boy Advance version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''.

| ====''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''====
| | '''Dixie Kong''' is a character from the ''Donkey Kong'' series. She is [[Diddy Kong]]’s girlfriend and [[Tiny Kong]]’s older sister. She also has three cousins--[[Donkey Kong]], [[Chunky Kong]], and [[Kiddy Kong]]. Her first appearance was as a sidekick in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Aside from games, Dixie also appeared in the [[Donkey Kong Country (show)|Donkey Kong Country cartoon]] and in two comics. |
| Dixie Kong has her first starring role in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. In the backstory for the game, Donkey Kong and Diddy go on a fishing trip. After a few days of them not returning, Dixie goes to the [[Northern Kremisphere]] to begin her search. She goes to [[Funky's Rentals]], where [[Funky Kong]] gives her [[Kiddy Kong]] to babysit. Kiddy joins Dixie in her adventure to find Donkey Kong and Diddy. Dixie and Kiddy encounter many [[Kremling]]s along the way, but at [[Mekanos]], they first encounter the [[Kremling Krew]]'s supposed new robotic leader, [[KAOS]]. Later on, at the end of [[Kaos Kore]], Dixie and Kiddy fight not only KAOS but also its creator, [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]]. The Kongs defeat both KAOS and K. Rool and free Donkey Kong and Diddy, who were trapped inside of KAOS. Dixie and Kiddy's adventure ends with all of the rescued [[Banana Bird]]s carrying them up where the [[Banana Queen]] is, in the clouds, and the Banana Birds free the Banana Queen from her [[evil barrier|barrier]]. Dixie and Kiddy then ride the Banana Queen as she chases after Baron K. Roolenstein, and the Banana Queen drops a large eggshell on K. Rool to stop him. The first segment of the end credits shows an album made by Dixie, titled [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], which has the name and a photograph of nearly each character and enemy.

| ====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====
| | Dixie Kong appears in almost all ''Donkey Kong'' games and in some Mario spin-off titles. She is playable in all games she appears on. Dixie was the first female Kong to be playable, although [[Candy Kong]] was the first female Kong. She was also the first female character in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] to star in a game; she starred in two games even before Princess Peach got her own game. Up to now, Dixie has appeared in 17 games, and is playable in 15 of them. |
| [[File:Donkey Kong and Dixie Kong - Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze.png|thumb|upright=0.8|Dixie Kong with Donkey Kong in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'']]
| |
| After six years of absence, Dixie reappears as one of the playable characters in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port of the same name]], along with [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[Cranky Kong]] (and [[Funky Kong]] in the Nintendo Switch port). At the start of the game, the [[Snowmads]] blow away the four Kongs to a faraway island, the [[Lost Mangroves]].

|
| Dixie can spin her ponytail to slow Donkey Kong's descent. Unlike her earlier appearances, Dixie can briefly gain altitude by using her [[Helicopter Spin]] in midair, even while riding Donkey Kong. Dixie can also slam her ponytail on the ground in a similar fashion to Donkey Kong's [[Hand Slap]], or use the Ponytail Propeller underwater in order to swim against strong currents. Like Diddy and Cranky, Dixie also has her own popgun, the [[Popgun#Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze|Gumball Popgun]]. If Dixie and Donkey Kong use the [[Kong POW]] move together, every enemy on-screen turns into [[Gold Heart]]s. Unlike the second and third ''Donkey Kong Country'' titles, Dixie uses her hands to carry an object rather than her ponytail.

| | ==== Crocodile Island ==== |
| | [[Image:DixieSwim.png|thumb|left|160px|Dixie swimming.]] |
| | Her first appearance was in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', in this game, [[Donkey Kong]] was kidnapped by [[Kaptain K. Rool]]. As such, Diddy and Dixie had to travel to [[Crocodile Isle]], home of the [[Kremlings]], to rescue him. In their way Diddy and Dixie had to defeat many Kremlings, aquatic animals and even ghosts. They eventually defeated King K. Rool, saved Donkey, and also blew up Crocodile Isle. Although the game centered on Diddy’s quest to prove he was a great video game hero (in the likes of [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], and [[Link]]), his sidekick Dixie manages to prove her worth as well. In this game she got her first ability, [[Helicopter Twirl]]. |
|

|
| Dixie plays air guitar when left idle for a awhile. She also plays guitar in the ending sequence, both referencing her love of guitars from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. Her new guitar has a banana-themed design.
| | Crocodile Isle and the [[Kremling Krew]] were resurrected in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Donkey Kong is kidnapped once again, and Dixie and Diddy went again to save him. In the end, K. Rool was defeated again, DK is saved, and Crocodile Isle was destroyed for a second time. |

|
| ===''Donkey Kong Land'' series===
| | In the Game Boy Advance port of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', the plot was the same, but there were some small differences in other things. [[Swanky Kong]] will now count the time it took for Dixie, or Diddy, to beat the boss. Dixie and Diddy can also complete Wrinkly's task, which consists of filling a scrapbook with pictures. Dixie can now play mini-games at Funky's place, where her sister makes an appearance. |
| ====''Donkey Kong Land 2''====
| |
| Dixie reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', where she has the same role and abilities as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. It is also the first time that Dixie appears on a handheld game.

|
| |
|
| ====''Donkey Kong Land III''==== | | ==== The Star of the Show ==== |
| In the backstory of ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Dixie is left behind to babysit Kiddy after Donkey Kong and Diddy enter a competition in search of the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]]. Dixie wants to enter the competition but was not considered for the contest. Dixie, wanting to prove herself as competent, decides to join the search for the Lost World, and she takes Kiddy with her.<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Land III'' manual|page=2-3|date=1997|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> During their adventure, Dixie and Kiddy encounter many of the [[Kremling]]s and eventually [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] at the end of [[Tin Can Valley]], and then again in the Lost World itself. | | [[Image:Dixie5.jpg|thumb|right|140px|Dixie Kong walking.]] |
| | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', Dixie emerges as the star of her own game. As the [[Kongs]] are vacationing in the [[Northern Kremisphere]], Donkey and Diddy decide to go out on one of their adventures, leaving Dixie behind. However, the two of them get kidnapped by a new group of Kremlings, led by their new mysterious leader [[KAOS]]. Dixie discovers the Kremlings and decides to rescue DK (for the third time) and Diddy Kong. However, K. Rool, in the guise of [[Baron K. Roolenstein]], returns. He secretly controls KAOS from behind the scenes, making K. Rool the de facto leader of the [[Kremling Krew]]. K. Rool kidnapped DK and Diddy to use their cerebral energies to power the robotic KAOS. |

|
| ===''Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24''===
| | Early in the adventure, [[Funky Kong]] asks Dixie to babysit her cousin [[Kiddy Kong]]. Together, they rescue Donkey and Diddy and also stop K. Rool and his Kremlings. During their quest, they also have to free all the [[Banana Bird]]s; when all the Banana Birds are freed, they take Dixie and Kiddy up to the clouds to free the [[Banana Bird Queen]] who has been imprisoned by King K Rool. |
| [[File:DixieComic.png|thumb|left|upright=0.8|Dixie and Diddy in "Banana Day 24"]]
| |
| Dixie appears in the comic, "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]". Dixie is sleeping in a palm and is suddenly awakened by [[Squawks the Parrot]]. Afterward, Diddy and Cranky explain to her that it is Christmas. After learning what day it is, she suggests to prepare a Christmas party, but, suddenly, she starts to shiver. The Kongs quickly discover that snow is falling from the sky, something Dixie and the others has never experienced yet. At the TV, the Kongs learn that the temperature has dropped all over the world and also that the president of the [[United States of America]] invites for a summit to find a solution to the problem. The Kongs decide to travel to the United States to talk with the president. Dixie and the others ride their [[Animal Friends]] to the nearest airport where they take the [[Jumbo Barrel]] to travel to [[Washington D.C.]]
| |
|
| |
|
| The president tells them that a huge UFO pulling the [[Earth]] away from the sun is the cause of the low temperature. He provides them with a space shuttle, and with help of Cranky, Dixie and the others are launched into the aliens' space shuttle. At the space shuttle, Dixie, Diddy and Donkey Kong quickly notice the aliens look like them but bigger and green and blue. The Kongs learn that the aliens do not want to dominate Earth, and what really happened is that the aliens thought Earth was a giant [[Coconut]]. After giving bananas to the aliens in exchange of them returning Earth to its original temperature, the Kongs head back to Earth where they are hailed by the people for saving them. Back in the jungle, Dixie and the others finally celebrate a Christmas party. At the end Dixie enjoys the starry sky along her boyfriend.
| | In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Dixie once again teams up with her cousin Kiddy. Again, Donkey Kong and Diddy go off on an adventure, this time searching for the [[Lost World]], and, again, they leave Dixie behind. Dixie decides to find the Lost World herself first. Unbeknownst to all, K. Rool has returned with his Kremlings. He too is searching for the Lost World. In the end, Dixie and Kiddy discover the Lost World and defeat K. Rool all over again. |

Her ponytail is also smaller than it is in the games. In the episodes [[Get a Life, Don't Save One]] and [[Klump's Lumps]], Dixie loses her pet crab and lobster, respectively. In the latter episode, she is also shown to be more trusting than the other Kongs, befriending a recently fired [[Klump (character)|General Klump]] when no one else can. She is the only Kong included in the show that makes her debut in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. Dixie was voiced by [[Louise Vallance]].

| ===Unused appearances=== | | ===Other=== |
| ====''Diddy Kong Pilot''====
| | There has been many toys based in Dixie Kong, including plushies and key chains, which are generally based on her cartoon look. There are also posters featuring her and even candies based on her. |
| Dixide is a playalbe character in all builds of ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot]]''. In the very earliest version of the game shown as Space World 2000, Dixie piloted a red airplane resembling a stealth aircraft: specifically a F-117 Nighthawk. Dixie was intended to have a story mode called "Back to the Light", but no data outside of the title has been found. In the [[Diddy Kong Pilot (2001)|2001]] build, Dixie now drove a red propellor plane with a white backside, similar to Diddy Kong's plane. Her story mode appears to have been removed with the others in this build, leaving only residual data. In the [[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|2003]] build of the game, Dixie Kong now drove a pink and white plane. Dixie had similar stats to Diddy, but with higher acceleration and lower weight. This meant Dixie was decent top speed and almost the highest top speed in exchange for the lowest weight. The Dixie Cup would've been the first cup for Team [[Kremling|Krem]] and ended in a boss fight with Dixie Kong, where she attacked with machine gun fire and by dropping storm clouds behind her. When the game was finalized as ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Pilot|Banjo-Pilot]]'', Dixie was replaced with [[jiggywikki:Jinjo|Jinjo]], as shown by their shared statistics, plane, and boss battle.

| ==Characteristics==
| | She also appears in the board game, [[Nintendo Monopoly]], where she is in place of the Atlantic Avenue, her cost is of 260$. She is located in between Diddy Kong and the [[Warp Star]]. Her card color is yellow and her artwork is from ''DK Jungle Climber''. |
| ===Physical appearance===
| |
| [[File:Dixie10.png|thumb|upright=0.8|Dixie from ''Donkey Konga 3'' when she wore knee-pads]] | |
| Dixie is a light-brown furred Kong who has a thick blonde ponytail tied with a light blue band. She also has bangs, and the hair at the sides of her bangs is longer and curled. Unlike Diddy Kong, with whom she shares a strong resemblance, she seems to have no tail. She wears what appears to be a short pink top and can be recognized by her trademark pink beret hat. In artwork for the Super Nintendo games, Dixie is shown with a red headband under her hat, most visibly in {{file link|DiddyandDixie.jpg|a piece where the hat is bouncing off}}, although this does not appear elsewhere. She typically wears large blue pearl earrings, although these were originally small and golden. She is almost always seen having her top tied, except in her artwork for ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. In the original ''Donkey Kong Country'' series, Dixie had pink nail varnish on her toes, but this was removed in all games after ''Donkey Konga 2''. Her hat is occasionally shown to have a gold [[Rare]] logo pin attached to it in artwork from some of her earlier appearances, but this ceased being used entirely following Rare's purchase by {{wp|Microsoft}}, except in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''. Dixie also used to wear pink knee pads, but these were removed since ''DK: King of Swing''. Dixie was originally depicted with four fingers and three toes, but was given five fingers and toes in ''Donkey Konga 2'' onwards. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', Dixie does not have eyelids, similar to [[Diddy Kong]]; instead, her pupils animate whenever she blinks.

|
| |
|
| In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', the second team's Dixie in the Two Player Contest mode has purple clothes and crimson red hair (the color of her bubblegum and juice box in her idle animations change to reflect this). In the Two Player Contest mode of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', her Player 2 palette has violet clothes and her normal blonde hair. In ''DK: King of Swing'', her alternate colors for a second player (also selectable in single player by pressing up or down) include blue clothes and red hair, which may be a reference to her Two Player Contest colors in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. The colors for a third player reverse her hair and clothes, giving her pink hair and a yellow outfit, while the fourth player is given a Dixie with royal purple hair and green clothes as default.
| | ==Character Description== |
| | ===Appearance=== |
| | [[Image:Dixie10.png|thumb|right|140px|Dixie when she wore kneepads.]] |

She has green eyes (currently the only Kong that has green eyes), her fur may go from light brown to brown. She can be recognized by her trademark pink beret. In one of her artworks she was shown to have an orange band under her pink beret. |
|
| |
|
| In the comics, Dixie retains her original look. In the cartoons, she has much lighter, almost yellow fur. She still wears a pink hat, but now wears a light blue shirt with a flower in it (which [[Tiny Kong]]'s design is inspired from) and pink converse shoes. Unlike in the games, she does not have earrings. | | In the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series she had pink nails, but were removed in all later games and now she doesn't have visible nails. Her beret used to have a gold Rare logo pin attached to it, although in DK: King of Swing the Rare pin was removed due to Microsoft now holding the rights to Rareware. She also wore kneepads which were also removed in ''DK: King of Swing'' and later games for unknown reasons. |

| ===Personality===

| Dixie is generally fearless<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page=13|language=en-us|quote=Dixie isn’t afraid of the water (or much else for that matter). She’s as much at home under the sea as her friend Diddy is.|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> and has a love for adventure, and while she eagerly engages upon Diddy's quest to save Donkey Kong she is also happy to go on adventures herself, as seen when she saves both of them with the aid of [[Kiddy Kong]] in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' and searches for the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]] in ''Donkey Kong Land III''. In games such as ''DK: Jungle Climber'', it is shown that she likes playing with Donkey Kong and Diddy. She is also one of the most active Kongs, and known to enjoy sports, joining in with Diddy and Donkey when they play basketball and baseball. Her demeanor is slightly tomboyish and assertive, but also cheerful and lively. Her hobbies include blowing bubbles and mixing banana milkshakes,<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Land'', ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) WORLD EXCLUSIVE Review booklet|page=21|quote=Her hobbies, according to Nintendo, are blowing bubbles and mixing banana milkshakes.}}</ref> which is seen in her idle animation as chewing bubblegum and then briefly sitting down to drink a banana milkshake in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', although the latter was removed in ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. She even owns a Gumball Popgun which she uses in ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''. She is also very musically inclined, perhaps moreso than any other Kong, showing her love for guitars in her debut in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and playing one during the ending of ''Tropical Freeze'', as well as playing air guitar when left idle for awhile. She has a habit of headbanging her remarkable hair when playing guitar and appears to be fond of rock music. In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', she seems to have got a little more mature and a little less tomboyish. Her trophy description for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' implies that she probably takes great care of her hair. In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', when thrown away by Diddy or hit by an enemy, she starts crying; this also occurs in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' after being thrown away by Kiddy or after being hit by an enemy attack (on an extra note, when a player enters a cheat in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', her crying sound effect plays.

|
| ===Powers and abilities=== | | ===Personality=== |
| Dixie Kong's greatest asset is her long, blonde ponytail. Her ponytail has the ability to rotate as a [[Helicopter Spin|helicopter]], allowing Dixie to slow down her fall, control her descent to the ground when she is in the air, and expand her jump. She can also use her ponytail to lift [[Barrel]]s, whip enemies, and as a propeller to traverse underwater. Her ponytail has significant amount of strength, being able to toss Kiddy Kong into the air, lift Donkey Kong from the ground while using her helicopter technique, and it is even capable of pounding the ground. Although she is a bit slower than Diddy Kong, the versatility of her ponytail more than makes up for it. Swimming in the water is second nature to Dixie due to having grown up on an island.<ref>{{cite|quote=Growing up on an island, Dixie Kong learned how to swim at a young age. She's as much at home in the water as she is in the trees.|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' instruction booklet|page=13|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> In ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' she has the ability Cannon Shot, which consists in her summoning a barrel to shoot the ball. In ''DK: King of Swing'', she is an exceptionally high jumper and can attack by performing an aerial attack, which glows red when charged. In ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'', she attacks with acrobatic flips and had the ability of doing [[Wild Move]]s. She is talented in playing an electric guitar, as seen in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''—where she plays it whenever the player finishes a level with her—and in ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''—where she plays the guitar before the credits start. She is also skilled at playing bongos. In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', Dixie has a popgun of her own which fires bubblegum.
| | She is very brave, as she helped Diddy save Donkey, and later she saved both of them. She is also shown to enjoy sports. In games like ''DK: Jungle Climber'', it is shown that she likes playing with Donkey and Diddy. She is also one of the most active Kongs, as she sometimes joins Donkey and Diddy in their adventures. |

| ==Creation and development== | | ==Abilities== |
| The development team of ''Donkey Kong Country'' wanted to take risks and surprise players: As a result, it was decided to replace [[Donkey Kong]] with a new character.<ref name="RetroGamer">{{cite|author=Milne, Rory|date=July 2018|title="The Making Of Donkey Kong Country 2". ''Retro Gamer Magazine'' Issue 181|page=65-68}}</ref> The idea to give Dixie her trademark ponytail came after the game's director [[Gregg Mayles]] saw a piece of concept art that had the character depicted with long, flowing hair and him thinking that this could be used for gameplay opportunities.<ref name="RetroGamer"/> Talking about Dixie's inclusion, Mayles explained that the decision to make her female was not born out of any particular desire for female representation and that the character's gender was decided before the ponytail design came about.<ref name="RetroGamer"/>
| | Dixie Kong’s greatest asset is her long, blond ponytail. Her ponytail has the ability to rotate like a [[Helicopter Twirl |helicopter]], allowing Dixie to slow down her fall, control her descent to the ground when she is in the air and expand her jump. She can also use her ponytail to lift [[Barrel]]s and attack enemies (like her sister in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''). Although she is a bit slower than Diddy Kong, the versatility of her ponytail more than makes up for it. In ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' she had the ability Cannon Shot, which consisted in her summoning a barrel to shoot the ball. In ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'' she had the ability of doing [[Wild Move| Wild Moves]]. |

| ===Diddy Kong=== | | ===Diddy Kong=== |
| {{main|Diddy Kong}} | | {{main|Diddy Kong}} |
| Diddy Kong is Dixie's boyfriend in both the games and the show. She began a relationship with Diddy Kong after the events of ''Donkey Kong Country'',<ref>{{cite|date=November 1996|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) #50|page=53|quote='''THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!''' Since returning from his first adventure, Diddy has been fending off unwanted women. However, one stuck around and soon became the love of his life. Her name is Dixie, a daredevil babe who's not afraid to help out her colleague in these times of trouble.}}</ref> and helps him save [[Donkey Kong]] in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and saves both of them in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble''. Dixie is one of the characters called by Diddy in ''Diddy Kong Racing DS''. In ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' and ''Mario Super Sluggers'', the two of them share good chemistry. Dixie is shown trying to kiss Diddy in certain episodes of the ''Donkey Kong Country'' television series, and in "[[Kong for a Day]]", she quickly gets mad at Donkey Kong when one of the Kremlings made it seem like he had been hitting on her and badmouthing her boyfriend. | | Diddy Kong is Dixie's best friend and love interest even though the Smash Bros series refers to her as his girlfriend. She helped him save Donkey in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', after that she saved both of them in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble''. Dixie is one of the characters called by Diddy in ''Diddy Kong Racing DS''. In ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' and ''Mario Super Sluggers'' the two of them share chemistry. |
| | |

| | |
| | ===Tiny Kong=== |
| | {{main|Tiny Kong}} |
| | Tiny is her sister. They have appeared in only a few games together, but Tiny has still never shown any kind of affection to her sister. In the remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'', Dixie had to save her in mini-games. An interesting fact is that her trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl didn't mention that the two were sisters. The two share good chemistry in Mario Super Sluggers. |
|
| |
|
| ===Donkey Kong=== | | ===Donkey Kong=== |
| {{main|Donkey Kong}} | | {{main|Donkey Kong}} |

Dixie rescued him in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' In baseball games, Dixie shares good chemistry with DK. Donkey Kong is protective of Dixie, notably when a [[Dry Bones]] threatens her. Dixie Kong also attended DK's birthday and helped him and the group take their home back from the [[Snowmads]] in ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''. | | [[Image:DixieDonkeyDiddy.png|thumb|right|200px|Dixie with Donkey and Diddy.]] |
| | Dixie seems to have a good relation with Donkey Kong. In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'' she helped in saving him from King K. Rool. She is explains the extra levels to him in Jungle Climber In ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' and ''Mario Super Sluggers'' the two of them share chemistry. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'' challenge mode there are several conversations between Donkey and Dixie. |
| | |
| | After she is saved. |
| | *'''Donkey Kong''': Are you OK Dixie Kong? |
| | *'''Dixie Kong''': Yes I'm fine but Bowser Jr.... |
| | *'''Dixie Kong''': I think he's trying to take over the ballpark. |
| | *'''Donkey Kong''': He's going to do WHAT? |
| | *'''Dixie Kong''': Ack! The stone tablet at the top of this cliff! |
| | *'''Donkey Kong''': He's trying to take it? This will not stand! |
| | *'''Dixie Kong''': Hey! Donkey Kong! Wait up! |
| | *'''Dixie Kong''': Donkey Kong, you crazy ape! He never listens to anyone. |
|
| |
|
| ===Kiddy Kong===
| | After DK comes back. |
| {{main|Kiddy Kong}}
| | *'''Donkey Kong''': It's no use... I'm clueless. |
| Kiddy and Dixie are cousins and have a close relationship. He helped her save their friends in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''
| | *'''Dixie Kong''': Donkey Kong! Why not let Mario and his friends handle it? |
| | *'''Donkey Kong''': No! It's my ballpark. I should take care of it myself. |
|
| |
|
| ===Tiny Kong===
| | In the cartoons she has a good relation with Donkey. In episode ''Kong for a Day'' she is the only one that goes with Donkey to the jungle when he is prohibited to return to the village. |

| | Although in the games she doesn’t interact much with Candy in the cartoons they had a good relation. In some of the episodes they are seen together. In the episode ''Buried Treasure'', the two of them cooperate with each other to get the treasure. |
| | |
| | ===Kremlings=== |
| | {{main|Kremlings}} |
