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.

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.


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.

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.

The three of them enter the hole that leads to the jungle. Then Dixie notices a wasp, and quickly, Donkey Kong throws a barrel at it. Dixie looks at the stings and says that a sting would have hurt. In the way, they find [[Rambi]] and the three of them ride him. Afterward, they find themselves around many Kremlings. Rambi takes out all the Kremlings, and they continue their way to King K. Rool. After they reach the mountains, Rambi leaves them. They start climbing the mountain until they arrive to a place where the Kremlings pull the rope up. Donkey Kong throws Dixie upwards so she can let the rope down. After they reach the top, a Necky starts attacking them, but Donkey Kong takes him out quickly.

They all quickly go up to a crashed boat, and while thinking, Donkey Kong remembers something. He starts to jump on flies until he reaches land. Diddy and Dixie repeats. Dixie realizes they are in the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lost World]]. Dixie climbs a wall and sees King K. Rool in the other side with all the bananas.

Rool starts shooting pineapples, but Donkey Kong evades them. He then finds an explosive barrel and throws it to him, which defeats him. The Kongs finally recover the bananas.

Dixie is first called by Diddy Kong; he explains that [[Timber]] asks him to help him defeat [[Wizpig]] and to find out what happened to [[Drumstick (character)|Drumstick]].


During gameplay, Dixie is first called by Diddy Kong; he explains that [[Timber]] asks him to help him defeat [[Wizpig]] and to find out what happened to [[Drumstick (character)|Drumstick]]. They race in several areas, and after beating all the challenges in the area, Dixie (or one of the other racers) races the boss guarding the Wizpig Amulet. If she beats him, he opens the Balloon Pop challenges. Once all the challenges are completed, they could have a rematch against Tricky. If Dixie and the others manage to defeat him, the spell on him would break, and Tricky thanks them by giving the piece of Wizpig's amulet he is guarding. With all the pieces of the amulet, Dixie and the other manage to race against Wizpig, whom after being defeated, teleports away. Dixie, with all the other racers, holds a celebration. During the celebration, Wizpig arrives and asks for a rematch, but this time in his planet, [[Future Fun Land]]. After the rematch, Dixie and the others defeat him and again held the celebration, this time without problems.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
[[File:TSMBM Diddy Kong.png|thumb|left|220px|Dixie Kong's appearance in ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''.]]
Dixie Kong can be seen in the audience behind [[Donkey Kong]] in [[:File:TSMBM poster DK.jpg|a poster]] for ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' with [[Diddy Kong]], [[Cranky Kong]], and [[Swanky Kong]], among various other generic [[Kong]]s. During the film, Dixie Kong is shown sitting with Diddy Kong and Chunky Kong in the [[Great Ring of Kong]]. When Cranky Kong scolds Diddy Kong for cheering for too long, Dixie Kong glares at Diddy Kong in disapproval for embarrassing himself. Dixie Kong, Diddy Kong, and Chunky Kong react to [[Cat Mario]] looking adorable, and cheer for Mario when he wins the match against Donkey Kong.


Dixie Kong's outfit looks slightly different in the film than it does in the games. Rather than a pink knotted shirt, she is shown wearing a pink tank top similar to Diddy Kong with a white star and trimming on it. The Rare logo pin on her hat that was removed in most appearances has been reincluded.
She also appears in the board game, [[Nintendo Monopoly]], where she takes the place of Atlantic Avenue. She costs $260. Her artwork is from ''DK: Jungle Climber''.

====''Diddy Kong Pilot''====
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.

[[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.
Dixie 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. She has light brown fur and wears what appears to be a short pink top, while her face, ears, hands, feet, belly, belly button, and backside is exposed, revealing Dixie's pale skin. She can be recognized by her trademark pink beret. In one of her artworks she was shown to have a red headband under her beret but now she doesn't wear it anymore. She typically wears large blue pearl earrings, although these were originally small and golden. She is always seen wearing her top tied, though one exception is her official artwork for ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', were her top is not tied.


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.
In the original ''Donkey Kong Country'' series, she has pink nail varnish on her toes, but this is removed in all games after ''Donkey Konga 2''. Her beret used to have a gold [[Rare]] logo pin attached to it in some early pieces of official artwork, but this is seen only rarely and has only recently appeared in ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'' and has otherwise been removed entirely following Rare's purchase by Microsoft. She also wears pink knee pads, but these were removed in ''DK: King of Swing'' and later games. She was originally depicted with four fingers and toes, but was given five in ''Donkey Konga 2'' and later games. Although she has been depicted with green eyes in official artwork since her debut, it wasn't until ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' were she was shown to have them in-game.


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 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===
===Powers and abilities===
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.

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.
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, attack enemies (as her sister in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''), and as a propeller to traverse underwater.

==Creation and development==
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"/>

*[[Nintendo Power]] mistakenly and frequently referred to Dixie as '''Daisy Kong'''.{{ref needed}}
*Dixie's creator Steve Mayles joked that Dixie's ponytail is an actual tail, moved to her head as a result of "wacky evolution".<ref>{{cite|archive=web.archive.org/web/20210705080712/https://twitter.com/MolaMolaMania/status/1091815922392842241|deadlink=y|quote=Her tail moved up to her head. Some wacky evolution going on there|date=February 3, 2019|publisher=X|accessdate=May 13, 2024}}</ref>
*In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', while Dixie Kong is standing still, after she chews bubble gum, she sits down and drinks a banana milkshake before standing back up again. However, in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!!'', she only chews bubble gum.
*In ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'', when Dixie's animation square shows up when being used by the AI after she attacks the player with a weapon, is overtaken by the player, or is attacked by the player's weapon, the Rare logo can be seen on her beret (although it is silver instead of gold), despite the fact that Microsoft Game Studios purchased Rare in late 2002.{{ref needed}}
*In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', Dixie will play 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.
*In the GBA versions of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Dixie has the same voice clips as Tiny Kong, recycled from ''Donkey Kong 64''.
*According to her creator Steve Mayles on Twitter, Dixie's ponytail is an actual tail, moved to her head as a result of "wacky evolution".<ref>[https://twitter.com/i/status/1091815922392842241 Steve Mayles on Twitter] "Her tail moved up to her head. Some wacky evolution going on there"</ref>
