Dixie Kong originates as Diddy Kong's inseparable girlfriend and partner in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest}}''. She stood out from the rest of the playable Kongs by using her blonde ponytail as a propeller to briefly hover in the air. This is mostly used to help with alignment to land on platforms. She went on to appear in the starring role in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!}}'' alongside {{s|mariowiki|Kiddy Kong}}. Since then, she has been one of the main recurring characters of the ''Donkey Kong'' franchise, as well as minor appearances in the ''Mario'' franchise. Her original design in the SNES games had her beret feature a Rareware pin to coincide with Diddy Kong having the Nintendo logo across his hat, though this feature was removed in all of her appearances following Rare’s acquisition by Microsoft in September 2002.

 

Dixie is very brave and has a love for adventure, especially with her boyfriend [[Diddy Kong]]. She is also friendly with most other Kongs, particularly her cousin Kiddy Kong and her younger sister {{s|mariowiki|Tiny Kong}}. While Dixie can be childish and a diva at times, she is also very energetic with a tomboyish streak, participating in many sports and always ready to pick a fight. She loves gumballs, always blowing bubbles and even using them as ammunition for her gun. She also knows how to play the electric guitar and is seen playing one several times.

|desc=More than just Diddy Kong's girlfriend, Dixie Kong is also a fearless adventurer and a reliable team player. She earned her wings helping Diddy rescue Donkey Kong from the clutches of King K. Rool. Dixie's amazingly quick and nimble, and she's even able to twirl her ponytail in order to float slowly through the air.

Dixie was a [[unused content (SSBB)|scrapped design]] for a playable character, as evidenced by leftover references for "dixie". According to Sakurai, Dixie Kong was intended to be teamed with {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}, where the two could be tagged out for each other in the midst of battle, similar to how they played in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest}}''; the idea, however, was cut after he ran into technical issues with implementation of the idea, and only Diddy Kong appeared as a solo fighter in ''Brawl''.<ref> https://web.archive.org/web/20140710133913/http://www.geocities.jp/bgrtype/gsl/words2/dairantosmabrax/smashbrothersx.html</ref>

In the final game, Dixie Kong appears as a trophy and a [[sticker]] of her and the DK Bongo drums. She is also referenced in an [[Alternate costume (SSBB)#Diddy Kong|alternate costume]] for Diddy Kong.
