Dixie Kong (Smash 5)

Dixie Kong makes her first appearance as a playable character to the Super Smash Bros. franchise in Super 5mash Bros. 5. Dixie Kong is Diddy Kong's girlfriend and a member of the Kong circle of friends.She possesses a great strength in her ponytail and can easily whip her opponents around with her hair. However, one of the most useful aspects of her ponytail is the ability to float in the air by spinning rapidly. It allows Dixie Kong to float gracefully back down to the ground. Dixie Kong appears her usual appearance in recent Donkey Kong Country games.
==Attributes==
Dixie Kong can use her ponytail for numerous purposes such as grabbing opponents and items, using it to float, using it as a tether, "punching", and reflecting projectiles. Game play wise, Dixie Kong is similar to Diddy Kong in that she is quick and fast but has the added benefit for increased reach due to her ponytail. In addition, she can float back down to the ground like Peach by holding up on the controller's control stick. Due to her small frame, she isn't that big of a target and can easily duck under and avoid attacks coming her way. Despite of these seemingly powerful strengths, her power output is less than Diddy Kong and is the weakest out the Kong cast. Her defenses are also below average with her shield weathering less hits than Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong can. Finally, she is lighter than Diddy thus making her easier to knock and juggle around in the air.
Players who enjoy a quick, floaty character that has aerial dominance and spacing options will enjoy picking up Dixie. Her ponytail provides for attack that have a great reach, a speed and lightness that allows her to catapult herself over enemies, and the ability to stay in the air for extended periods of time. Just be careful of those powerful attacks that might launch Dixie into the stratosphere!
