'''Tiny Kong''' is a [[Kong]] who first appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. She is the younger sister of [[Dixie Kong]] and the cousin of [[Kiddy Kong]] and [[Chunky Kong]]. She is known for being both nimble and fast and using her two ponytails to accomplish different tasks. She was initially designed as a young child despite being taller than her older sister Dixie Kong before she was redesigned into her current "teenage" appearance in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''.


Following her first appearance she has not had any prominent roles in any other platform game, but was given cameo appearances in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' [[Game Boy Advance]] remakes of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] games. Since her older redesign in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', where her name "Tiny" went from literal to ironic, she has played a larger role in spin-off adventures such as ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' and has even appeared in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. With a few exceptions, she is generally playable in the games in which she appears.

==Biography==
In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Tiny is one of the four Kongs imprisoned by the [[Kremling Krew]] at the start of the game. She is imprisoned in the second level, [[Angry Aztec]], and can only be released by [[Diddy Kong]]. He can release her by performing a [[Chimpy Charge]] on the [[wall switch]]es, each with a letter of the word "KONG". In the game manual, [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] mistakes Tiny for her older sister, Dixie.

===Donkey Kong 64===
In ''Donkey Kong 64'' Tiny is one of the many Kongs imprisoned by the [[Kremling Krew]] at the start of the game. She is found in the area [[Angry Aztec]], and can only be released by [[Diddy Kong]].
 
[[Image:TinyKong.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Tiny as she appeared in her debut.]]
Once Tiny was released, she could collect purple [[Banana]]s, coins and [[Blueprint]]s. She could also activate feather switches, pop purple balloons to get bananas, and slam switches with her face on them. Also, when she gained the ability ''Mini Monkey'' she could go with the [[Banana Fairy Queen]] to get the banana cam.
 
After being freed, Tiny began her adventure on [[DK Isle]], where she visited the Banana Fairy queen and found a total of six Bananas. In Jungle Japes, [[Rambi]] made it possible for Tiny to get into a cave after she found a few golden Bananas and finished familiarizing herself with her surroundings. Tiny used her ''Mini Monkey'' ability to get inside difficult places to reach and get Golden Bananas.
 
In [[Angry Aztec]], she had the chance to get her Saxophone, Feather Bow, and her ''Mini Monkey'' ability. With help of the [[Squawks]] and her ''Mini Monkey'' ability, she was able to enter many different temples. Inside the many temples she found many Golden Bananas and even a [[Banana Fairy]]. The temples were often booby-trapped.
 
Tiny played a large part in the [[Frantic Factory]]. After looking for Golden Bananas in the testing room, Tiny found a sentient [[Toy Racecar]], who told her he had a Golden Banana for the first place winner. After beating the car and winning the race, Tiny searched for more Golden Bananas and came across a Donkey Kong arcade game and a Golden Banana which was only obtainable by using her ''Mini Monkey'' ability. After searching the factory high and low for Bananas she gave the needed amount of bananas to [[Scoff]] who opened the door leading to the boss. The door revealed Tiny's face, meaning she would be the only one able to fight the boss; [[Mad Jack]]. After beating it Tiny won the third [[Boss Key]] to K. Lumsy cage.
 
[[Image:KongClan.PNG|250px|right|thumb|Tiny with her friends.]]
Tiny met a mermaid in [[Gloomy Galleon]], who told her about her stolen pearls. Tiny eventually found the pearls in a giant chest and brought them back to the mermaid, who gave her a Golden Banana in return. She later opened an underwater door in a large sunken ship. After thoroughly searching the ship she found another Golden Banana. Tiny found her last Golden Banana in the area in another sunken ship.
 
Tiny's quest for the Bananas took her to [[Fungi Forest]]. Tiny found her first Golden Banana in the forest in a mountain infested with purple klaptraps. After beating them she got a Golden Banana and a strange seed. After finding a good place to plant it, Tiny planted the seed in a loamy patch of soil. The seed grew into a giant plant and gave her a Golden Banana, which she could get with help of Squawks. Tiny later found a house, and by entering at night she could fight a giant spider. Tiny had to hit a certain amount of small spiders to make the giant one open its eyes, which she could shoot feathers at. After being sufficiently damaged, the giant spider shrunk. Tiny eventually beat the tiny spider, revealing a Golden Banana.


Once Tiny is released, she is able to collect purple [[banana]]s, [[Banana Coin]]s and [[blueprint]]s. Like the other Kongs, she can perform [[Simian Slam]] and exclusively on [[Kong Switch]]es that depict her. Tiny's weapon is the [[Feather Bow]], which she can purchase at [[Funky's Store]], to shoot at [[Target Switch|Feather Switch]]es and [[Banana Balloon]]s. At [[Candy's Music Shop]], Tiny can purchase her personal instrument, the [[Saxophone Slam|saxophone]]. Once Tiny learns [[Mini-Monkey]] from [[Cranky's Lab]], she is able to jump into a [[Cranky's Kong Barrel|Tiny Barrel]], causing her to shrink and access small openings. She is the only Kong who can visit the [[Banana Fairy Princess]] on [[Banana Fairy Island]]. The [[Pony Tail Twirl]] allows her to glide across areas.
In [[Crystal Caves]] Tiny visited Cranky, who sold her a potion which would give her the power ''MonkeyPort''. Tiny used her new power on a teleport pad deep in the caves which took her to an igloo-like crystal were a Golden Banana was. Tiny found another teleport pad which took her to were the Giant [[Kosha]] was. Tiny beat it and stopped the raining rocks.


In Angry Aztec, Tiny can enter from the top of the temple to race the [[Beetle (character)|Beetle]]; to do so, she must use her Mini-Monkey ability and perform Saxophone Slam from a [[Music Pad]] for Squawks to carry her up to the temple. She can find a [[Banana Fairy]] and a few more Golden Bananas in other temples.
After entering [[Creepy Castle]], Tiny found the car she raced in Frantic Factory, who wanted revenge. Tiny beat him again and obtained another Golden Banana. Outside was a trail of purple bananas and a trash can. With help of her barrel and a mushroom she entered to the trash can, where she was attacked by flies. She, along all the Kongs, fought the boss of the level, [[King Kut Out]]. She would fight the boss after [[Lanky Kong]] was defeated.


In [[Frantic Factory]], Tiny can find more [[Golden Banana]]s by shrinking from the Mini-Monkey ability. She can race the [[Mini-Car]] to obtain a Golden Banana. At [[Troff 'n' Scoff]], the boss door selects Tiny to fight the boss, [[Mad Jack]].
[[Image:KONGS.PNG|220px|left|thumb|Tiny, one of the playable Kongs from ''Donkey Kong 64''.]]
When the Kongs took the Creepy Castle key to K. Lumsy he opened the last level, [[Hideout Helm]]. The Kongs quickly realized that they had a limited amount of time to deactivate the [[Blast-O-Matic]]. But with help of [[Snide]] they extended the time. After deactivating the machine the Kongs found out that King K. Rool escaped in a plane, but left behind the last key. His plane was soon struck down by K. Lumsy and crashed on DK Isle.


In [[Gloomy Galleon]], Tiny meets the [[mermaid]], whose pearls were stolen. After Tiny recovers them from a sunken treasure chest, the mermaid rewards her with a Golden Banana. Tiny later opens an underwater door in a large sunken ship, and she can recover two more Golden Bananas from different sides of the ship. Tiny can obtain another Golden Banana from a sunken submarine.
In the final battle against [[King K. Rool]] she was the fourth to fight him. She had to become small and enter through a hole in King K. Rool's shoe and use her [[Feather Bow]] on his toes.


In [[Fungi Forest]], Tiny's first Golden Banana is located inside of a large tree stump with [[Purple Klaptrap]]s. After defeating them, Tiny obtains a seed, which she can plant in a loamy patch of soil for it to grow into a [[Beanstalk (character)|beanstalk]], who gives her another Golden Banana. During the night, Tiny can enter the barn to fight a mini-boss, the [[Giant Spider]], and defeat it for another Golden Banana.
During the game she gains different abilities. Her first individual ability is ''Mini Monkey'', while the second is ''Ponytail Whirl'', and the last one is ''Monkey-Port''. Her instrument is the saxophone; with this she can use the ability ''Saxophone Slam''. Her weapon is the ''Feather Crossbow''. Aside from this she can gain ''Simian Slam'', ''Super Simian Slam'', and ''Super Duper Simian Slam'', which all Kongs have.


In [[Crystal Caves]], Tiny can learn the [[Monkeyport]] ability from [[Cranky Kong]]. There are two pairs of [[Cranky's Kong Pad|Tiny Pad]]s in the level, each with their own objective. Tiny can use one of the Tiny Pads to teleport to an igloo-like crystal with the Golden Banana. She can use another Tiny Pad to go to a high area and might another mini-boss, [[Giant Viking Kremling]].
She is the only Kong that can enter where the Banana Fairy Queen is found, and using Tiny's Monkeyport is the only way of getting to Hideout Helm. She was also playable in the Multiplayer mode.


In [[Creepy Castle]], Tiny can rematch the Mini-Car for another Golden Banana. Tiny can also follow a trail of purple bananas and a trash can. With her Mini-Monkey ability, Tiny can bounce on a mushroom and enter into the trash can, which is filled with flies. Tiny is the second Kong to fight the boss [[King Kut Out]], if [[Lanky Kong]] accidentally shoots out the area.
She appears in the three endings of the game. In the first ending she appears playing with Chunky, until he throws her very high and gets mad at him once she lands. In the second ending she appears riding K Lumsy, along with all the other Kongs. In the third ending she uses her ''Ponytail Whirl'' to fly, but ends up crashing.
[[File:Tiny with Chunky.jpg|thumb|Tiny with Chunky in the ending]]
Tiny is the only Kong who can reach the [[Hideout Helm]] lobby, as her Monkeyport ability is required to reach it. In Hideout Helm itself, the Kongs have a limited time to deactivate the [[Blast-o-Matic]]. Tiny has to complete two [[Bonus Level|Bonus Stage]]s to deactivate the purple current flowing in the Blast-o-Matic.


Tiny is the fourth Kong to fight [[King K. Rool]] in the [[boxing arena]]. For the fourth round, she must use her Mini-Monkey ability to enter a hole in K. Rool's shoe and shoot feathers at his toes.
===N-Gang===
She appeared in a comic from the [[N-Gang]] series. Her appearance was in the comic "[[N-Gang#Freeze Frame|Freeze Frame]]", where she didn't had a big role, her appearance was at the very end, where she is seen at the celebration held after King. K. Rool was defeated.


On [[DK Isles]], Tiny has six Golden Bananas to collect. It is the only area where she, let alone any Kong, has six Golden Bananas to collect. The sixth Golden Banana is the secret 201st Golden Banana overall, which the Banana Fairy Princess rewards to Tiny when she has rescued every Banana Fairy.
===Donkey Kong in When the Banana Splits===
[[Image:Tinycomics.jpg|120px|right|thumb|Tiny as seen in the comic.]]
Her second appearance in a comic was in ''[[Donkey Kong in When the Banana Splits]]'', were the golden bananas are stolen, again by the Kremlings. Unfortunately for King K. Rool, the Kremlings he sent stole the golden bananas in bad time, as Tiny Kong and the other Kongs were home. Tiny Kong, along all the playable Kongs from ''Donkey Kong 64'', track King K. Rool easily through the jungle and after passing all Kremling's traps and beating all the enemies, they have a final showdown against King K. Rool and the Kremling in which the Kongs win and get their golden bananas back.  


Tiny appears in all three endings. In the first ending she is playing with Chunky, until he throws her very high by mistake, causing Tiny to get annoyed at him. In the second ending she is riding K. Lumsy with the other Kongs while sitting in Chunky's hand. In the 101% ending, she first uses her Pony Tail Twirl to fly, but ends up crashing. She is later seen posing with Candy Kong and the mermaid, as two [[Kritter]]s are watching them. She is lastly seen walking up to Donkey Kong, who has trouble pulling a lever using his [[Gorilla Grab]]. Tiny helps DK by gently tapping it with her hand, which sends DK flying away. She then skips away from the lever.
Through the quest Tiny Kong showed some of her abilities she got in ''Donkey Kong 64'' from Cranky Kong's potions, such as Ponytail Whirl. Her Ponytail Whirl worked slightly different, her ponytails rotate vertically instead of horizontally, but still have the same use. Also, like in the games, she attacked with her ponytails.


Tiny is also playable in the Multiplayer mode. She has three alternate color schemes besides her default one. Her alternate color schemes change her overalls to either red, green, or purple.

Tiny can be found in the [[DK Jungle]] stage; after Mario and the others get the three Tablet pieces and raise the bridge they can access the area where Tiny is being held by Bowser Jr. Mario and the others eventually defeat  Bowser Jr. and Tiny offers to join the team. She is part of the '''DK Wilds'''.


Tiny Kong's bat is sky blue with a white flower, similar to the one on her top. She is the only Kong character to use a normal bat. Her pitching entrance includes her spinning. When she pitches the ball and the character batting misses three times, she celebrates by turning back and putting her right arm up, and her left arm down. Her batting entrance includes her waving her hand, winking and then preparing to bat. Like with the other team players, Tiny Kong can use Star skills while pitching, which can make the ball go faster or slower. Her sweet spot is the flower on the bat.

She has good [[chemistry]] with her sister, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Donkey Kong, [[Baby DK]], and a [[Mii|Cyan Mii]]; she has bad chemistry with King K Rool, Kritter, and [[Birdo]]. When the team she is on wins but she does not win MVP, she celebrates by waving her hands and tilting her hip from one side to another. If she does win MVP, she will break into a brief dance and smiles towards the camera. Her only ability is Clamber, meaning she can climb walls to catch the ball and negate low Home Runs.

Tiny features average pitching, batting, and running skills, along with above average fielding skills (her fielding is a tad weaker than Diddy's, Dixie's and Baby DK's  though) and above average stamina. She is the only balanced character from the ''Donkey Kong'' series, and she has the highest stat total among all the characters (excluding [[Mii]]s) who can only play as team players. In this game, her speed is not as notable as in other games; in the ''Donkey Kong'' series, Tiny is one of the fastest Kongs, even faster than Diddy. But this time, both Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong are faster than her.

Her card description describes her as the smallest of the Kongs, possibly meaning the smallest of the female Kongs in age that are playable in the game, as Tiny is not the smallest sized Kong. Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong are smaller and in age Kiddy Kong and Baby DK are younger.

==Canceled Appearance==
A store titled "Tiny's Piroshkis" can be found in [[Metro Kingdom|New Donk City]] among other ''Donkey Kong'' references in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.
She was one of the few characters confirmed to appear in the cancelled [[GameCube]] game ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''. The game was canceled because Rare was sold to Microsoft, but a trailer and few screenshot were released prior to this. In screenshot she is seen riding [[Enguarde]].<ref>[http://cube.ign.com/dor/objects/16565/donkey-kong-racing/images/dk02.html]</ref> In this game she was going to appear with her old look.

==General information==
===Concept and creation===
[[File:Tiny Kong DK64 concept artwork.jpg|thumb|Original concept art of Tiny Kong]]
Early concept art for ''Donkey Kong 64'' depicted Tiny<ref>[[Mark Stevenson]], [https://twitter.com/playtonicalMark/status/1116400855077593095 "It was an idea for Tiny]", in a response to a tweet asking who the concept art represented. ''Twitter''. April 11, 2019 (Retrieved January 28, 2020)</ref> with a notably different design where she wore a fez and a vest, with nothing indicating her being female.


When asked why Tiny was created for ''Donkey Kong 64'' instead of featuring Dixie Kong as a player character, the game's character designer [[Mark Stevenson]] replied that he could not recall clearly why but that "''I guess we just loved creating new Kongs! I would say it would be because we wanted a character that fitted with the shrinking ability.''"<ref>[https://twitter.com/playtonicalMark/status/994120633964486656?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs9e.github.io%2Fiframe%2Ftwitter.min.html%23994120633964486656 Mark Stevenson in a May 2018 Twitter post].</ref>
==Character Description==
===Past===
[[Image:TinyRap.png|150px|left|thumb|Tiny's first look.]]
During her debut in ''Donkey Kong 64'', Tiny's fur was a lighter brown as opposed to her darker fur which she had in ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'' onwards. Her eyes were blue, but they were also bigger. Her clothes consisted of blue overalls with a flower on them, a white T-shirt and white shoes, and the same multicolored beanie hat as her current appearance. She also had bangs in this design. She was much smaller at this time, and was even shorter than Diddy Kong. Tiny's voice and demeanor is hinted at being that of a sarcastic Kong (acting similar to that of [[Kazooie]]).  


===Physical appearance===
After ''Donkey Kong 64'' this look was used in the remakes of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3]]''. It was going to appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'', but the game was canceled. The look was also used for some comics, and recently made an appearance as one of Tiny Kong's stickers in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
====Past====
[[File:TinyRap.png|left|thumb|Tiny's original design]]
In her first appearance in ''Donkey Kong 64'', Tiny Kong had light brown fur and blonde hair stylized in two large pigtails. Her eyes were aqua blue, but they were also bigger. She was depicted with four fingers, but since ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'' she has five. Her clothes consisted of blue overalls with a smiling daisy on it, a white T-shirt and white shoes, and the same multicolored beanie hat as her current appearance, except with a red top instead of purple. She also had bangs in this design. She was small at this time (hence her name), but she was a head taller than Diddy Kong. Tiny's voice and demeanor is hinted at being sarcastic (acting similar to that of [[Kazooie]]).  


After ''Donkey Kong 64'', this design was used in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]]. It was going to appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'', but the game was canceled. The design was also used for some comics, and also made an appearance as one of Tiny Kong's stickers in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and was recently reused as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
This look was dropped after Rare was sold to Microsoft. From ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'' onwards, Nintendo decided to change her appearance and gave Tiny her current look.


====Current====
===Current===
[[File:Tiny Kong DKRDS.jpg|thumb|x200px|Tiny's updated appearance from ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'']]
[[Image:TinyKongDS.png|239px|right|thumb|Tiny's current look.]]
Tiny, as her name belies, is a tall [[Kong]], slightly taller than [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Princess Peach]] but not as tall as [[Candy Kong]]. She has blond hair that is tied up in two large pigtails and has blue eyes, unlike her sister who has green eyes. Her eyes have one thick eyelash each, and she also wears dark red eye makeup. Her fur is brown, although in ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'', it was slightly darker. Her current accessories consists of jumbo earrings and white fur wristbands.

Her current accessories consist of jumbo earrings and white fur wristbands.
[[Image:TinyMSS.png|200px|left|thumb|Tiny's in-game appearance.]]
Her clothing consists of a sky blue sweat pants with a sky blue big-belly baring spaghetti-strap top. Her top has a flower on it and has purple borders, she wears orchid sandals and also wears a beanie hat, that is green in the bottom, purple in the middle, pink on the top and has pink borders around the colors green and purple. She has pink nails.

This look also created some controversy. Tiny actually looks older than Dixie, her older sister. They had never been referred to sisters again since ''Diddy Kong Racing DS''. Recently, it was confirmed in Rare’s Scribes, that Nintendo was the one that decide to change her look.<ref>[http://rareware.com/extras/scribes/20dec07/index.html]</ref>
 
It was confirmed in Rare’s Scribes that Nintendo was the one that decided to change her design.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20071224053939/http://www.rareware.com/extras/scribes/20dec07/index.html Rare Ltd. Scribes, 20 December 2007] &ndash; "''[Tiny's redesign] was not our idea, but simply a realigning of the Kong family at Nintendo.''"</ref> Although her redesign makes her appear older than her elder sister [[Dixie Kong]], in Japan this relationship was never officially stated, which may explain the radical change in design. They have never been referred to as sisters since ''Donkey Kong 64''.


===Personality===
===Personality===
As she has only had one major role there's little known about her personality. Tiny's voice and demeanor is hinted at being somewhat sassy and tomboyish, with a confident demeanor similar to her sister [[Dixie Kong]], albeit more boisterous. She is also very brave, attacking even if her opponent is way bigger than her as shown during the [[DK Rap]] where she attacks a [[Klaptrap]] after she has used her [[Mini-Monkey]] ability. She is very gymnastic and flexible in her movements, able to perform the splits with ease.
As she has only had a one major role there's little known about her personality. Tiny's voice and demeanor is hinted at being that of a sassy and tomboyish Kong. For example, her line after being freed is: "I'm off to the tag barrel - Ready to kick reptile Butt". She is also very brave, attacking even if her opponent is way bigger than her as shown during the DK rap where she attacks a giant [[Klaptrap]]. Later games such as ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'' and ''Mario Super Sluggers'' may somewhat contradict the tomboyish behavior as when she attacks she does it in a gymnastics-like form or when she is pitching she makes a gymnastics-like pose.


In more recent games she is depicted in a similar fashion, but shows less of a tomboyish streak and more of a focus on dance-like movements. In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' she regularly sways her hips when walking, after successfully making a nice play and when scoring an RBI or a home run. She breaks out into a brief dance and smiles when she successfully clears a mission, minigame or wins MVP. She is still shown to be very acrobatic as seen in ''Mario Super Sluggers'' when she successfully wins a close play. She jumps up high into the air and does a backflip before landing on the baseman.
==Abilities==
 
[[Image:Tiny.jpg|132px|right|thumb|Tiny with the '''Feather Crossbow'''.]]
===Abilities===
Much like her sister she uses her ponytails for attacking enemies, slowing and controlling her descent to the ground and can also extend her jump by rotating her ponytails. In ''Donkey Kong 64'' she was the fastest Kong, she had a very high jump, she could also attack enemies by jumping on them and she is good at swimming and could breathe underwater. In ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'' she once again used her ponytails to attack and break things open. She, like all the other racers, could also perform [[Wild Move]]s in this game. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'' she had the ability ''Clamber''.

Tiny never shrinks from her responsibilities - even when she shrinks herself physically for a mouse's eye view of the action. "''

''She can shrink in size, to suit her mood''<br>
''She's quick and nimble when she needs to be''<br>
''She can float through the air and climb up trees''<br>
''If you choose her, you'll not choose wrong''<br>
''With a skip and a hop, she's one cool Kong!''
*'''Instruction booklet bio from [[Cranky Kong|Professor Cranky Kong]]''' (page 7): "''I thought this was [[Dixie Kong]]™ until she told me that she is Dixie’s younger sister. Bah, kids these days all look alike! You’ll probably recognize Dixie’s trademark hair spin technique, but Tiny can also shrink in size—although I reckon that one’s nothing more than a marketing gimmick and won’t even be in the game!''"
*'''[https://web.archive.org/web/20010606030858/http://rareware.com/recent/games/dk64/castlist/ Rarewhere]''': "''Don't get her confused with big sister Dixie of '''DKC2''' and '''3''' fame - in this adventure it's Tiny who gets to hog the limelight, seizing the chance to put her own attitude and athletic skills to the test. Inheriting that trademark pigtail spin from her sis was just the beginning, as she's also picked up an uncanny shrinking ability somewhere along the way. Is size really everything? Time to find out...''"
*'''[[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]''' (page 5): "''Dixie’s VERY little sister brings a big dose of flower power to the Kong’s campaign. You’ll find her pigtails perfect for pugilism and not too bad for a helicopter ride from the treetops. Tiny never shrinks from her responsibilities—even when she shrinks herself physically for a mouse’s-eye view of the action.''"
*'''BradyGAMES guide''' (page 6): "''When faced with a very difficult jump or series of platforms, Tiny with her Ponytail Twirl is the Kong of choice. Press and hold the A Button, and she can safely fall from any height when using Ponytail Twirl.''"
*'''VERSUS BOOKS guide''' (page 3): "''Replacing Dixie as the new Kong youngster, Tiny has huge shoes to fill. Despite her small feet, she does this nicely thanks to a few handy powers. Aside from the fact that she actually has pig tails, this Kong can float across huge gaps with her Pony Tail Twist, and can shrink even smaller than her already small size to enter the tiniest of holes - allowing her to explore areas no other Kong has seen...''"
*'''[[Prima Games]] guide''' (page 10): "''Sweet threads and kickin' hair make Tiny the coolest of the DK crew. Her jump is high, but her short legs make her slower than Diddy. Don't think she's a pushover, though! Tiny's got the tricks to keep her safe and secure. And her powers can take her places no other ape can go.''"
