'''Tiny Kong''' is character from the [[Donkey Kong (series)|''Donkey Kong'' series]]. She is [[Dixie Kong]]’s younger sister and as such is the cousin of [[Kiddy Kong]] and [[Chunky Kong]]. She first appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. She is known for being both nimble and fast and using her two ponytails to accomplish different tasks. | |||
Following to her first appearance she hasn't had any other important roles in any other platform game, but was given cameo appearances in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remakes of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo]] games. Since ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', she received a significant redesign and now plays a larger role in spin-off adventures such as ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' and has even appeared in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. With only a few exceptions, she is playable in every game in which she appears. | |||
Although known as Dixie's younger sister in the English releases of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', in Japan her relation to Dixie has never been officially confirmed. | |||

In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Tiny is one of the four Kongs imprisoned by the [[Kremling Krew]] at the start of the game with the others being [[Diddy Kong]], [[Chunky Kong]], and [[Lanky Kong]]. She is found in the area [[Angry Aztec]], and can only be released by [[Diddy Kong]] after [[Donkey Kong]] saves him. In order for her to be released, Diddy must spell the code KONG by slamming the wall switches in the correct order using his [[Chimpy Charge]] ability. | |||
In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Tiny is one of the four Kongs imprisoned by the [[Kremling Krew]] at the start of the game. She is | |||
Once Tiny is released, she is able to collect purple [[ | [[File:TinyKong.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Tiny as she appeared in her debut.]] | ||
Once Tiny is released, she is able to collect purple [[Banana]]s, [[Coin]]s and [[Blueprint]]s. She can also activate feather switches, pop purple balloons to get bananas, and slam switches with her face on them. Also, when she gains the ability ''Mini Monkey'' she can go with the [[Banana Fairy Queen]] to get the banana cam. | |||
After Tiny is freed, she can begin her adventure on [[DK Isle]], where she must visit the Banana Fairy queen and can find a total of six Bananas. In Jungle Japes, [[Rambi the Rhinoceros|Rambi]] makes it possible for Tiny to get into a cave after she finds a few golden Bananas and finishes familiarizing herself with her surroundings. Tiny uses her [[Mini Monkey]] ability to get inside difficult places to reach and get Golden Bananas. | |||
In [[ | In [[Angry Aztec]], she can obtain her [[Saxophone Slam|Saxophone]], [[Feather Bow]], and her Mini Monkey ability. With help of the [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] and her Mini Monkey ability. She is able to enter many different temples. Inside the many temples she can find many Golden Bananas and a [[Banana Fairy]]. | ||
Tiny plays a large part in the [[Frantic Factory]]. After looking for Golden Bananas in the testing room, Tiny finds a sentient [[Toy Racecar]], who tells her he has a Golden Banana for the first place winner. After Tiny completes the car race, she can search for more Golden Bananas and come across the ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' arcade game and a Golden Banana which is only obtainable by using her Mini Monkey ability. After she searches the factory high and low for Bananas, she gives the needed amount of bananas to [[Scoff]] who opens the door leading to the boss. The door reveals Tiny's face, meaning she is the only one able to fight the boss, [[Mad Jack]]. After defeating Mad Jack, Tiny obtains the third [[Boss Key]] to [[K. Lumsy]]'s cage. | |||
[[File:KongClan.PNG|250px|right|thumb|Tiny with her friends.]] | |||
Tiny meets a mermaid in [[Gloomy Galleon]], who tells her about her stolen pearls. Tiny must find the pearls in a giant chest and must then bring them back to the mermaid, who gives her a Golden Banana in return. She later opens an underwater door in a large sunken ship. After thoroughly searching the ship she finds another Golden Banana. Tiny finds her last Golden Banana in the area in another sunken ship. | |||
Tiny's quest for the Bananas takes her to [[Fungi Forest]]. Tiny must find her first Golden Banana in the forest inside of a large tree stump infested with purple [[Klaptrap]]s. After defeating them, she obtains a Golden Banana and a strange seed. When Tiny finds a good place to plant it, she must plant the seed in a loamy patch of soil. The seed eventually grows into a giant plant which gives her a Golden Banana, which she can get with help of Squawks. Tiny later finds a house and when she enters at night, she could fight a giant spider. Tiny must hit a certain amount of small spiders to make the giant one open its eyes, which she can shoot feathers at. After the Giant Spider is damaged enough, the it shrinks. After Tiny defeats the Giant Spider, she obtains another Golden Banana. | |||
In [[ | In [[Crystal Caves]], Tiny visits Cranky who sells her a potion which can give her the power [[Monkeyport]]. Tiny must use her new power on a teleport pad deep in the caves which take her to an igloo-like crystal were a Golden Banana was. Tiny must find another teleport pad which takes her to were the Giant [[Kosha]] is. Tiny must defeat it and stop the raining rocks. | ||
Tiny is the | After entering [[Creepy Castle]], Tiny finds the car she raced in Frantic Factory, who wants a rematch. Tiny must defeat him again to obtain another Golden Banana. Outside is a trail of purple bananas and a trash can. With help of her barrel and a mushroom, she can enter to the trash can, where she is attacked by flies. She, along all the Kongs, fight the boss of the level, [[King Kut Out]]. She fights the boss after [[Lanky Kong]] is defeated. | ||
[[File:KONGS.PNG|220px|left|thumb|Tiny, one of the playable Kongs from ''Donkey Kong 64''.]] | |||
When the Kongs takes the Creepy Castle key to K. Lumsy, he opens the last level, [[Hideout Helm]]. The Kongs realize that they have a limited amount of time to deactivate the [[Blast-O-Matic]], but with their help of [[Snide]] their time gets extended. After they deactivate the machine, the Kongs find out that King K. Rool has escaped in a plane, but left behind the last key. His plane gets struck down by K. Lumsy and crashes down on DK Isle later in in the game. | |||
In the final battle against [[King K. Rool]], she is the fourth to fight him. She must become small and enter through a hole in his shoe and use her [[Feather Bow]] on his toes. | |||
During the game, she can gain different abilities. Her first individual ability is Mini Monkey, while the second is Ponytail Twirl, 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 can obtain. | |||
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 is also playable in the Multiplayer mode. | |||
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 Twirl to fly, but ends up crashing. | |||

Unfortunately for King K. Rool, the Kremlings he sent stole the golden bananas at a bad time, as Tiny Kong and the other Kongs were home. Tiny Kong, along with all the playable Kongs from ''Donkey Kong 64'', track King K. Rool easily through the jungle. After passing all Kremling's traps and beating all of the enemies, they have a final showdown against King K. Rool and the Kremlings. The Kongs win and get their golden bananas back. | ||
Through the quest Tiny Kong showed some of her abilities she got in ''Donkey Kong 64'' from Cranky Kong's potions, such as Ponytail Twirl. Her Ponytail Twirl 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. | |||
===Game Boy Advance ''Donkey Kong Country'' series ports=== | |||
====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''==== | |||
Her next appearance was in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Tiny appears in several of [[Funky Kong]]'s mini-games and Diddy and Dixie would often had to save her. She appears in the mini-game ''Kongnapped'', were Diddy or Dixie had to save her from [[Zinger]]s. In this game she has a high pitched squeaky voice. | |||
====''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''==== | |||
She also appears in the Game Boy Advance remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]''. She appears in Funky's mini-games, along with the rest of the [[Kong|her family]], where she appears in the water, and Dixie and Kiddy have to prevent her from being taken away by Kremlings. This was also from the few games were she used her debut design. | |||
This game is one of the only games in which she appears and is not playable (the other being ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''). These were also her only appearances on the Game Boy Advance. | |||
===''Diddy Kong Racing DS''=== | ===''Diddy Kong Racing DS''=== | ||
Tiny makes a full return appearance in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'' to replace [[Banjo]], a character from the original ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''. This game is her spin-off debut. Her acceleration and handling are both medium but has a slightly low top speed. | |||
Tiny makes a | |||
[[File:DKRDS.png|thumb|180px|Tiny, Dixie and Diddy Kong on their way to help.]] | |||
Tiny, along her sister, was first called by Diddy Kong; he explained that [[Timber]] from [[Timber Island]] asked him to help him defeat [[Wizpig]], and also help to find out what happened to [[Drumstick]], which was converted into a frog by Wizpig. | |||
During the quest they arrived to [[Dino Domain]], and after beating all the challenges in the area Tiny (or one of the other racers) had the option to race the brainwashed dinosaur [[Tricky the Triceratops]] through the valley, if she beat him he will open the Balloon Pop challenges. Once all the challenges were completed they could have another race against Tricky, if Tiny and the others manage to defeat him the spell on him would break, and Tricky will thank them by giving the piece of Wizpig's amulet he was guarding. | |||
Their next location was the cold [[Snowflake Mountain]], if Tiny and the others managed to beat all the trials they had the option to race against the [[Bluey the Walrus]] in a downhill mountain. After defeating him, he opened the Balloon Pop challenges from that area. After the challenges were completed, the racers had the option to challenge him again. After his defeat the spell on him would break and he gave Tiny and the others the second piece of Wizpig’s amulet. | |||
[[File:Group DKRDS.jpg|270px|left|thumb|Tiny with the other racers.]] | |||
Their next location was [[Sherbet Island]], and like in the previous locations after beating the challenges they could race the aquatic brainwashed [[Bubbler the Octopus]]. After he was defeated he opened the Balloon Pop Challenges. Once the Balloon Pop challenges were completed Tiny and the other racers had the option to race him again. Finally after he was defeated and taken permanently out of Wizpig’s spell he gave Tiny and the other racers the third piece of the amulet. | |||
Their next location was [[Dragon Forest]], were after beating all the challenges Tiny and the others could race the fire spitting [[Smokey the Dragon]]. Like the previous bosses he opened the Balloon Pop challenges after being defeated. After he was defeated and taken out permanently of Wizpig’s control he gave Tiny and the racers the last piece of the amulet, thus they completed the amulet. | |||
[[ | With all the pieces of the amulet, Tiny and the others found Wizpig and raced him, whom after being defeated teleports away in panic. Tiny, along all the other racers, held a celebration. During the celebration Wizpig arrives and asks for revenge, but this time in his home planet [[Future Fun Land]]. After a long race with many obstacles Tiny and the others defeated him and again held the final celebration this time without problems. | ||
This is the first game she appears as playable along her sister and also this is her second playable appearance after eight years. Although this was the first racing game in which she appeared, she had previously raced two times against a car in ''Donkey Kong 64'', in the levels Frantic Factory and Creepy Castle. | |||
Tiny looks much older in this game, and was given somewhat of a teenage appearance. Her sister, [[Dixie Kong]] remained the same size, leading some to believe that their relation was either changed or forgotten. She was the only character to appear in this game that made a debut in ''Donkey Kong 64'', and was one of the three female racers and also one of the three playable Kongs. | |||

=== | ===Canceled Appearance=== | ||
She was one of the few characters confirmed to appear in the canceled [[GameCube]] game ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''. The game was canceled because Rare was sold to Microsoft, but a trailer and a few screenshot were released prior to this. In the 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. | |||

Tiny Kong in | ====Past==== | ||
[[File:TinyRap.png|200px|left|thumb|Tiny's original 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]]''). | |||
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]]''. | |||
[[ | |||
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. | |||

Her current accessories consist of jumbo earrings and white fur wristbands. | ||

As she has only had one major role there's little known about her personality.

Both her and Kalypso also have the same stats in the game. | ||
Her speech, like the other Kongs, actually consists of a series of monkey-like ooks and eeks, although as with the other Kongs nobody in the Mario universe seems to have a problem understanding what they mean. | |||

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

*In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', in the Mini-Game [[M.P.I.Q.]], one of the three possible answers (but an incorrect answer) to the question about what Donkey Kong's necktie initials read includes "TK" which may imply it stands for "Tiny Kong", however Tiny Kong's name has never been officially abbreviated. | |||
