History
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest
In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest, Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong are able to use the Team-up move. If the player hits the X button, they can make a monkey pick up the other and then throw him/her by hitting Y button. This can get Diddy and Dixie to higher areas and even reach some Bonus Levels.
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble
In the game, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble, teaming up differs depending on which Kong is on top. If Kiddy Kong throws Dixie, they can destroy enemies and go to higher floors. If Dixie throws Kiddy upward, they can break some parts of the floor to reveal secrets upon landing back on the ground. Dixie can also throw Kiddy to the left or right to defeat some enemies, although not Buzzes. If the young Kong is thrown against the wall, Kiddy will bounce back and ride the other way. Dixie can now jump on him and ride, as if on a barrel. In this state, Kiddy has the momentum of a Steel Keg.
