- “Don't try to argue--if you're going, I'm going with you.”
- —Dixie Kong, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest
Dixie Kong is Diddy Kong’s girlfriend and sidekick in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Dixie is also Tiny Kong’s older sister. Chunky Kong and Kiddy Kong are her cousins. Dixie is voiced by Jen Taylor, who also voices Peach and Toad.
Appearances
Crocodile Island
In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, the franchise’s title character gets kidnapped by Kaptain K. Rool. As such, Diddy and Dixie travel to Crocodile Isle, home of the Kremlings, to rescue him. 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. Together, the pair defeat K. Rool, rescue Donkey Kong, and blow up Crocodile Isle. In this game she got her first ability, Helicopter Twirl.
Crocodile Isle and the Kremling Krew are resurrected in Donkey Kong Land 2. Donkey Kong is kidnapped once again, and Dixie and Diddy set off to save him. In the end, K. Rool is defeated again, DK is saved, and Crocodile Isle is destroyed for a second time.
In the Game Boy Advance port of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, tha plot was the same, but there were some small differences in other things. Swanky Kong now will count the time it took for Dixie, or Diddy, to beat the boss. Dixie and Diddy could also complete Wrinkly's task, which consisted in filling a scrapbook with pictures. Dixie can now play mini-games at Funky's place.
The Star of the Show
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, lead 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.
Early in the adventure, Funky Kong asks Dixie to babysit her cousin Kiddy Kong. The two make a great pair; Kiddy Kong’s hulking strength was a good compliment to Dixie’s finesse and skill. Together, they rescue DK and Diddy and also stop K. Rool and his Kremlings. During their quest they also have to free all the Banana Birds, 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 imprisioned by King K Rool.
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.
In the Game Boy Advance port of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, the plot is the same, but now Dixie has to collect more Banana Birds. Dixie can now go and play mini-games at Cranky's Dojo or at Funky's Rentals. Swanky Kong has a new mini-game that only Dixie can play. She has a new location to explore, Pacifica.
Bongos and Swing
Aside from remakes she didn't appear in other games , until she appeared as a playable character in Donkey Konga 2, she is one of the three characters available to play different songs with the bongos. She returns in the sequel, Donkey Konga 3, as one of the four playable characters. Dixie also briefly appears in DK: King of Swing, she is also one of the eight playable characters in the game's Jungle Jam mode. In this game she has very good jump, but a poor attack.
Out to the Races
Dixie also appears as a playable character in Diddy Kong Racing DS, her spin-off debut. She has medium speed, acceleration and handlng. Dixie didn't appear in the original Diddy Kong Racing for unknown reasons, but she was in this game to replace Conker, a Rare character. She has a high-pitched voice in this game. This is also the first game were she appears along her sister and the first racing game in which she appears.
In this game she is one of the characters called by Diddy to go to Timber's Island and help Timber beat Wizpig and look out what happen to Drumstick. During the quest, they defeat Tricky, Bluey, Bubbler and Smokey who were brainwashed by Wizpig. Afterward Dixie and the others manage to defeat Wizpig, and then transform Drumstick into his original form, as he was transformed into a frog by Wizpig. Afterward a celebration is held, and during it Wizpig returns and Dixie, along all the other characters, have to follow him to his planet, Future Fun Land, there they have to complete certain challenges and afterwards have the final battle against Wizpig. Finally he is defeated and then Dixie and the other have the celebration.
Sun Sun Island
Dixie plays a very small role in DK Jungle Climber, seen only in the intro and 100% cutscene. In this game she went for vacations at Sun Sun Island, along all the other Kongs. In the opening cutscene she is seen running to the water to play with Diddy and Donkey. Altought she is not playable in story mode, she is playable in the game's wireless multiplayer mode as P3.
Dixie Blast
Dixie is a default character in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast. Her stats are similar to Diddy's. She has better handling and a better boost, but her speed is lower. Dixie's rival is Kass. Her drums are pink and have attached what seems to be sky blue upside down flowers. This was the second racing game in which she appeared and her first appearance in the Wii console.
Other Appearances
Sports Kong
Dixie appears as a secret playable character in Mario Superstar Baseball, her first appearance in the traditional Marioverse. In this game she appears as a sub-character, being a technique character. She has good chemistry with Donkey and Diddy. She uses a stick as a bat, and the sweetspot is the middle of the stick. Her only talent is Clamber. In stats, she is bad at batting, and medium in running, fielding and pitching.
Her second appearance in the Marioverse was on the Nintendo DS's Mario Hoops 3-on-3. Appearing again as an unlockable character. Her special shoot is the Cannon Shot, in which she uses a barrel canon to shot the ball. In this game, she is a speedy character, just like her boyfriend.
She has been confirmed to return in Mario Super Sluggers, sequel to Mario Superstar Baseball. She will be a sub-character.
Trophy Kong
Dixie also has a trophy in her likeness in the game Super Smash Bros. Melee. Oddly, Diddy Kong was nowhere to be seen in Melee. Dixie Kong has been seen as a Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and appeared alongside the Diddy Kong trophy. Hackers have found incomplete character data for Dixie in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, impling she was once planned as a character.
Appearances in Other Media
Cartoons
Dixie Kong made sporadic appearances on the Donkey Kong Country cartoon. On the show, her personality was drastically different than the one portrayed in the games; her clothing was also different, somewhat resembling what her sister, Tiny Kong wears. Often, Dixie would lose her various pets. She was also more trusting than the other Kongs, befriending a recently fired General Klump when no one else would. She was the only Kong included in the show that made her debut in Donkey Kong Country 2. Dixie was voiced by Louise Vallance.
Her first appearence in the show is in episode six, Kong for a Day. In this episode she cheer up Donkey after Funky got mad with him and she also went with him when he had to leave the island. When they are in the jungle a Krusha imitates Donkey's voice and tricks Dixie, making her believe that Donkey was saying bad things about her and Diddy.
In the episode From Zero to Hero, she is one of the characters reunited to see Cranky's new experiment, the x-ray machine. When Bluster enters saying he has more rights than Dixie and the others, just because he is rich, she gets mad and tells him inconsiderable. As Candy had to go to work, Dixie was the next character to enter and have x-rays. Later, she is the one that informs Cranky that King K. Rool has the Crystal Coconut.
Comics
Dixie was also one of the main characters in the Donkey Kong comic, Bumm-Badabumm Im Urwald. Here she aided both Diddy and Donkey Kong in tracking down their stolen bananas and defeating Kaptain K. Rool and the Kremling Krew. She went to Donkey Kong's house, because she heard noises, there Donkey informs her and Diddy that all the bananas are gone. After, they go and check if their banana depot is also without bananas, and they realized that ite empty as well, Dixie finds a hole from were the thieves entered. Diddy enters the hole and finds a kremkoin, then they realize that the kremlings are behind the disappearance of the bananas and decide to give the kremlings a lesson.
The three of them enter the hole that leads to the jungle. Then Dixie notice a wasp, and quickly Donkey throws it a barrel. 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, afterwards they find themselves having 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 were a rope should be, the kremlings pulled the rope up, Donkey throws Dixie upwards so she can let the rope down. After they reach the top, a necky starts atacking them, but Donkey took him out quickly. Afterwards they reach the portal, but its locked, they succesfully opened with the kremkoin. Inside the portal they are attacked by kremlings. After beating the kremlings a giant kremling appears, the Kongs escape from him through a narrow tunnel.
In the tunnel they finf a mine cart. The start racing against the kremlings, but as the distance between them increased, the mine cart turned less safety. Then the rails ended, and the Kongs landed on a swamp. Diddy then realizes they are not the only ones swimming in the swamp, krocheads are all around them. They all quickly go up to a crashed boat, and while thinking Donkey remembered something, he started to jump on flies until he reached land, Diddy and Dixie did the same. Dixie realized they were in the Lost World. Dixie climbs a wall and sees King K. Rool in the other side with all the bananas. Suddenly Dixie falls and the kremling see her, Donkey and Diddy quickly jump and help her. A fight against the kremlings starts. King K. Rool start shooting pineapples but Donkey evades them all, he then finds an explosive barrel and throws it to him, which defeats him. The Kongs finally recover the bananas.
Physical Apperance
Dixie has long hair tied up in a ponytail, blond in color (she shares this with her sister and Candy), she also has a bang, the hair at the sides of her bang curls up. 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 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
In the cartoons she had yellow fur. She wore a pink beret and a shirt with a flower in it. She didn't had earrings. In the comics she has the same appearence as her first appearence, except for the Rare pin.
Abilities
Dixie Kong’s greatest asset is her long, blond ponytail. Her ponytail has the ability to rotate like a 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 Barrels 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.

Trivia
- Dixie Kong is the first female character in the Mario series to star in her own game. In fact, she stars in two games before even Princess Peach gets to star in one. Eventually, Peach got her own game. Both these characters are voiced by Jen Taylor.
- In a Nintendo Power issue Dixie was incorrectly called Daisy Kong. This may be due to the fact Tiny Kong has a flower design on her original appearance, and the two are often confused for one another.
- Although Dixie Kong is the older sister of Tiny Kong, Tiny Kong looks older as in the official artwork of Diddy Kong Racing. This fact was most probably either forgotten or retconned.
