[[Dixie Kong]]'s [[mariowiki:Helicopter Spin|ability to spin]] in midair to slow her descent was introduced in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest}}''; this ability also caused her horizontal movement in the air to dramatically increase, not unlike the ability utilized by Donkey Kong in ''Smash Bros''. While Donkey Kong himself has never used the move prior to ''Super Smash Bros.'', the overall animation for Spinning Kong is similar to Dixie Kong's spinning ability, though Donkey Kong instead uses his arms to hover instead of Dixie Kong's ponytail. {{s|mariowiki|Tiny Kong}} also utilized a similar [[mariowiki:Pony Tail Twirl|spinning ability]] in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong 64}}''; however, ''Super Smash Bros.'' was released prior to ''Donkey Kong 64''. Dixie's own spinning ability is also retained in sequels to ''Donkey Kong Country 2''; notably, in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze}}'', it is changed to grant Dixie (as well as Donkey Kong) further vertical distance covered in addition to a somewhat slowed descent, making it somewhat more comparable to the ability utilized by Donkey Kong in ''Smash Bros''. | [[Dixie Kong]]'s [[mariowiki:Helicopter Spin|ability to spin]] in midair to slow her descent was introduced in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest}}''; this ability also caused her horizontal movement in the air to dramatically increase, not unlike the ability utilized by Donkey Kong in ''Smash Bros''.

Another possible origin for the move are the Kopter enemies from ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', who spin in the air with helicopter blades. They are able to fly upward, downward, or sideways. | |||
