Rool and the Kremling Krew. She went to Donkey Kong's house, because she heard noises, there Donkey informs her and Diddy that all the bananas are gone. After, they go and check if their banana depot is also without bananas, and they realized that it’s empty as well, Dixie finds a hole from were the thieves entered.

Rool. After they reach the mountains Rambi leaves them. They start climbing the mountain, until they arrive to a place where a rope should be, the Kremlings pulled the rope up, Donkey throws Dixie upwards so she can let the rope down. After they reach the top, a necky starts attacking them, but Donkey took him out quickly. Afterwords they reach the portal, but it's locked, they successfully opened with the Kremkoin. Inside the portal they are attacked by Kremlings. After beating the Kremlings a giant Kremling appears, the Kongs escape from him through a narrow tunnel.

In the tunnel they find a mine cart. The start racing against the Kremlings, but as the distance between them increased, the mine cart turned less safety. Then the rails ended, and the Kongs landed on a swamp. Diddy then realizes they are not the only ones swimming in the swamp, Krocheads are all around them. They all quickly go up to a crashed boat, and while thinking Donkey remembered something, he started to jump on flies until he reached land, Diddy and Dixie did the same. Dixie realized they were in the Lost World. Dixie climbs a wall and sees King K. Rool in the other side with all the bananas. Suddenly Dixie falls and the kremling see her, Donkey and Diddy quickly jump and help her. A fight against the kremlings starts. King K.

Dixie was first called by Diddy Kong; he explained that Timber asked him to help him defeat Wizpig, and also help to find out what happened to Drumstick, which was converted into a frog by Wizpig.

During the quest they arrived to Dino Domain, and after beating all the challenges in the area Dixie (or one of the other racers) would race the brainwashed Tricky the Triceratops through the valley, if she beat him he will open the Silver Coin challenges. Once all the challenges were completed they could have a rematch against Tricky, if Dixie and the other manage to defeat him the spell on him would break, and Tricky will thank them by giving the piece of Wizpig's amulet he was guarding.

Other
There has been many toys based in Dixie Kong, including plushies and key chains, which are generally based on her cartoon look. There are also posters featuring her and even candies based on her.

She also appears in the board game, Nintendo Monopoly, where she takes the place of Atlantic Avenue. She costs $260. Her artwork is from DK Jungle Climber.

Appearance
Dixie has long hair tied up in a ponytail, blond in color (she shares this with her sister and Candy). She also has a bang, and the hair at the sides of her bang curls up. She has green eyes (currently the only Kong with this feature), and her fur may go from light brown to brown. She can be recognized by her trademark pink beret. In one of her artworks she is shown to have an orange band under her pink beret.

In the Donkey Kong Country series, she has pink nails, but they were removed in all later games, making her no longer have visible nails. Her beret used to have a gold Rare logo pin attached to it, although in DK: King of Swing the Rare pin was removed due to Microsoft now holding the rights to Rareware, though the Rare pin was first removed on her Super Smash Bros. Melee trophy. The pin did not appear in games and only in artworks. She also wore knee pads which were also removed in DK: King of Swing and later games for unknown reasons.

In the cartoons she has yellow fur. She wears a pink beret and a shirt with a flower in it and does not have earrings. In the comics she has the same appearance as her first look, except for the Rare pin.

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, when playing in Two Player Contest, the second player takes control of a Dixie with purple clothes; whereas in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, along with her purple clothes, she also had red hair.

Personality
She is very brave, as she helped Diddy save Donkey, and later she saved both of them. She is also shown to enjoy sports. In games like DK: Jungle Climber, it is shown that she likes playing with Donkey and Diddy. She is also one of the most active Kongs, as she sometimes joins Donkey and Diddy in their adventures, contrary to what other female Kongs like Candy Kong and Wrinkly Kong do. In later games like Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, she is shown with a infantile behavior seen when she enters the field and when celebrating her victories by jumping and running.

In the cartoons she is portrayed as a friendly and somewhat childish character. In one of the episodes she even befriended a Kremling. She is also shown to really care about the others; she always tries to help her friends. She also loves animals, during the show she had different pets. She may have the same role as Princess Peach but she is not kidnapped, but they have the same female importance.

Abilities
Dixie Kong’s greatest asset is her long, blond ponytail. Her ponytail has the ability to rotate like a helicopter, allowing Dixie to slow down her fall, control her descent to the ground when she is in the air and expand her jump. She can also use her ponytail to lift Barrels and attack enemies (like her sister in Donkey Kong 64). Although she is a bit slower than Diddy Kong, the versatility of her ponytail more than makes up for it. In Mario Hoops 3-on-3 she had the ability Cannon Shot, which consisted in her summoning a barrel to shoot the ball. In Donkey Kong Barrel Blast she had the ability of doing Wild Moves.

Diddy Kong
Diddy Kong is Dixie's best friend and love interest even though the Smash Bros series refers to her as his girlfriend. She helped him save Donkey in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, after that she saved both of them in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble. Dixie is one of the characters called by Diddy in Diddy Kong Racing DS. In Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers the two of them share chemistry.

In the cartoons they have the same relation. In the episode Kong for a Day she is shown to really care for him, as when she is tricked by the Kremlings in believing Donkey said bad things about Diddy, she quickly gets mad at Donkey. In some other episodes she is shown to try to kiss him.

Tiny Kong
Tiny is her sister. They have appeared in only a few games together, but Tiny has still never shown any kind of affection to her sister. In the remake of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble, Dixie had to save her in mini-games. An interesting fact is that her trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl didn't mention that the two were sisters. The two share good chemistry in Mario Super Sluggers.

Donkey Kong
Dixie seems to have a good relation with Donkey Kong. In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble she helped in saving him from King K. Rool. She explains the extra levels to him in Jungle Climber. In Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers the two of them share chemistry. In Mario Super Sluggers challenge mode there are several conversations between Donkey and Dixie.

After she is saved.
 * Donkey Kong: Are you OK, Dixie Kong?
 * Dixie Kong: Yes I'm fine, but Bowser Jr....
 * Dixie Kong: I think he's trying to take over the ballpark.
 * Donkey Kong: He's going to do WHAT?
 * Dixie Kong: Ack! The stone tablet at the top of this cliff!
 * Donkey Kong: He's trying to take it? This will not stand!
 * Dixie Kong: Hey! Donkey Kong! Wait up!
 * Dixie Kong: Donkey Kong, you crazy ape! He never listens to anyone.

After DK comes back.
 * Donkey Kong: It's no use... I'm clueless.
 * Dixie Kong: Donkey Kong! Why not let Mario and his friends handle it?
 * Donkey Kong: No! It's my ballpark. I should take care of it myself.

In the cartoons she has a good relation with Donkey. In episode Kong for a Day she is the only one that goes with Donkey to the jungle when he is prohibited to return to the village.

Chunky Kong
Even though they haven't had much interaction with each other in the DK games, they are in fact cousins. Not much is known about their actual relationship like whether or not she gets along with him or not.

Candy Kong
Although in the games she doesn’t interact much with Candy in the cartoons they had a good relation. In some of the episodes they are seen together. In the episode Buried Treasure, the two of them cooperate with each other to get the treasure.

Kremlings
Dixie has shown to hate the Kremlings in some games. The Kremlings had caused her many problems like getting Donkey and Diddy kidnapped and Dixie having to save them. In Donkey Kong Barrel Blast she was given a new rival, Kass. In Mario Super Sluggers she has bad chemistry with King K. Rool and Kritter.

Other
She is hinted to have a good relation with Funky Kong, as they share chemistry in Mario Super Sluggers. She is also presumed to have a good relation with Kiddy Kong, as he helped her save Donkey and Diddy.

Trivia

 * Nintendo Power mistakenly and frequently refers to Dixie as Daisy Kong.
 * In the Nintendo Monopoly board game, Dixie Kong took the role of Atlantic Ave. She is worth $260.
 * Earlier pieces of official artwork had the Rare, Ltd. logo displayed on Dixie's hat. Due to the fact that Rare lost the rights to the Donkey Kong Country series after the buyout in 2002, that logo is no longer present.
 * In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, while Dixie Kong is standing still, after she chews bubble gum, she sits down and drinks soda pop and then stands back up and the whole animation loops. However, in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!!, her soda pop sprites were removed, therefore she only chews bubble gum in that game while standing still.
 * On her trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, her teeth can be clearly visible through her partially closed lips.
 * In Diddy Kong Racing DS, when Dixie's animation square shows up when being used by the AI after she attacks the player with a weapon, is overtaken by the player, or is attacked by the player's weapon, the Rare logo can be seen on her beret (although it is silver instead of gold), despite the fact that Microsoft Game Studios purchased Rare from Nintendo since late 2002.
