She later worked with Kiddy Kong to save Donkey and Diddy Kong in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!.

History[]
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest/Land 2[]
Dixie Kong made her debut in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2 as the girlfriend and sidekick of Diddy Kong. She used her hair as both an attack and as an extended jump. While she had the unique ability to glide and could jump higher than Diddy Kong, he was more agile and could run faster.
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!/Land III[]
Dixie had her starring role first in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and reappears in Donkey Kong Land III in which she went to save her boyfriend Diddy Kong and her best friend Donkey Kong. However, she did not go on this quest alone; she was joined by her cousin Kiddy Kong. In this game, she was faster and a better jumper than Kiddy Kong. However, he was much stronger than her and needed to defeat some enemies and put holes through the floor.
Donkey Kong 64[]
Although she was absent from Donkey Kong 64, her younger sister Tiny appeared in the game and she borrowed her hair twirling and hair attacking abilities. In the manual for the game, Cranky Kong joked that he thought Tiny was indeed Dixie Kong upon first looking at her.

Dixie Kong was playable in multiplayer for Donkey Konga 2 and Donkey Konga 3, however she was absent from the original Donkey Konga. This game saw Dixie's return to the Donkey Kong series.
