Dixie Kong

Dixie Kong is Diddy's girlfriend and one of the more recurring Kongs, both within the Donkey Kong games and the Mario games. Dixie made her first appearance in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Dixie has a little sister named Tiny Kong, who filled in as her replacement in Donkey Kong 64. Dixie has a signature ability of twirling her hair to float downwards.
==Donkey Kong appearances==
She first appeared in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest as Diddy Kong's sidekick, which is also the case in Donkey Kong Land 2. She later received a starring role in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and retained it within Donkey Kong Land III. Her next time featured as a playable character was in Donkey Konga 2 on the Nintendo GameCube, a bongo rhythm game, and its Japan-only sequel Donkey Konga 3 JP. She is also a playable character in Diddy Kong Racing DS and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.
==Mario appearances==
===Mario Baseball series===
====Mario Superstar Baseball====
Dixie appears as a secret playable character in Mario Superstar Baseball, her debut within the Mario franchise. This is also her first sports game. In this game she is voiced by Kahoru Sasajima. In challenge mode, she can help Mario and the others beat Bowser and Bowser Jr. She is unlocked by completing Challenge Mode with Donkey Kong's team known as the DK Kongs.
In this game she appears as a technique team player on Donkey Kong's team . She has good chemistry with Donkey Kong and Diddy. She uses a stick as a bat, and the sweetspot is the middle of the stick. Her only talent is Clamber, meaning she can climb walls to catch the ball. In stats, she is tied with Baby Luigi and Toadette for the worst batting stat in the game, but she has average pitching and above average fielding and running.
====Mario Super Sluggers====
Dixie Kong returns in the game Mario Super Sluggers, the sequel to Mario Superstar Baseball. She appears as a sub-character. In the Challenge Mode, she is found in the DK Jungle stadium. After being saved from the Dark Bones, Donkey Kong impulsively rushes off to the stone bridge without listening to Dixie, much to her chagrin. She asks Mario and the others to find a stone tablet, suggesting they look near the entrance/exit sign. After doing so, she joins the team, and soon insists that the returning Donkey work with Mario to save the stadium. She does not need to be unlocked in this game.
She has good chemistry with all the Kongs, but she has bad chemistry with King K. Rool and the Kritters for obsious reasons. In stats, she is bad at pitching and batting, but she is very good at fielding and running. She uses again a stick as a bat. Her bat entrance includes her jumping and flipping and then prepares to bat. In this game, she is the fastest Kong, but is the worst Kong at batting.
===Mario Hoops 3-on-3===
Dixie's second appearance in the Mario series was in Mario Hoops 3-on-3, a basketball game. It is her first appearance on the Nintendo DS. Dixie again appears as an unlockable character.
Her special shot is the Cannon Shot, in which she starts spinning and suddenly a barrel cannon falls from the sky and catches the ball, then Dixie backflips onto the cannon and shoots the ball into the hoop, followed by a red explosion and multicolored confetti.
In this game, she is a speedy character, just like Diddy. She can also enter the tourney in which she and her team have to beat different teams.
===Mario Kart Tour===
Dixie Kong made her debut appearance in the Mario Kart series in Mario Kart Tour as the Week 2 spotlight High-End racer of the Jungle Tour. Starting with the Bowser vs. DK Tour, she is now a regular High-End driver, and starting with the 2022 Los Angeles Tour, she has her own self-named cup. Dixie Kong’s special item is the Triple Bananas, which is shared with Daisy (Swimwear), Waluigi (Bus Driver), and Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES).
Dixie Kong's emblem is derived from the design of the Dixie Kong Barrel in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, although the characters are yellow and the background is pink.
==The Super Mario Bros. Movie==
Dixie makes a short cameo in the movie in the crowd of the Donkey Kong fight scene scolding Diddy Kong and seeming relatively annoyed.
