Tiny Kong: Difference between revisions

Following her first appearance she hasn't had any important roles in any other platform game, but was given cameo appearances in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' [[Game Boy Advance]] remakes of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo]] games. Since her older redesign in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', where her epithet "Tiny" went from literal to ironic, she has played a larger role in spin-off adventures such as ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' and has even appeared in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. With a few exceptions, she is generally playable in the games in which she appears.

In [[Angry Aztec]], she can obtain her [[Saxophone Slam|Saxophone]], [[Feather Bow]], and her Mini-Monkey ability. With help of the [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] and her Mini-Monkey ability. She is able to enter many different temples. Inside the many temples she can find many Golden Bananas and a [[Banana Fairy]].

Tiny plays a large part in the [[Frantic Factory]]. After looking for Golden Bananas in the testing room, Tiny finds a sentient [[Toy Racecar]], who tells her he has a Golden Banana for the first place winner. After Tiny completes the car race, she can search for more Golden Bananas and come across the ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' arcade game and a Golden Banana which is only obtainable by using her Mini-Monkey ability. After she searches the factory high and low for Bananas, she gives the needed amount of bananas to [[Scoff]] who opens the door leading to the boss. The door reveals Tiny's face, meaning she is the only one able to fight the boss, [[Mad Jack]]. After defeating Mad Jack, Tiny obtains the third [[Boss Key]] to [[K. Lumsy]]'s cage.

Tiny's quest for the Bananas takes her to [[Fungi Forest]]. Tiny must find her first Golden Banana in the forest inside of a large tree stump infested with purple [[Klaptrap]]s. After defeating them, she obtains a Golden Banana and a strange seed. When Tiny finds a good place to plant it, she must plant the seed in a loamy patch of soil. The seed eventually grows into a giant plant which gives her a Golden Banana, which she can get with help of Squawks. Tiny later finds a house and when she enters at night, she could fight a giant spider. Tiny must hit a certain amount of small spiders to make the giant one open its eyes, which she can shoot feathers at. After the Giant Spider is damaged enough, the it shrinks. After Tiny defeats the Giant Spider, she obtains another Golden Banana.

In [[Crystal Caves]], Tiny visits Cranky who sells her a potion which can give her the power [[Monkeyport]]. Tiny must use her new power on a teleport pad deep in the caves which take her to an igloo-like crystal were a Golden Banana was. Tiny must find another teleport pad which takes her to were the Giant [[Kosha]] is. Tiny must defeat it and stop the raining rocks.

During the game, she can gain different abilities. Her first individual ability is [[Mini-Monkey]], while the second is [[Pony Tail Twirl]], and the last one is [[Monkeyport]]. Her instrument is the Saxophone; with this she can use the ability ''Saxophone Slam''. Her weapon is the Feather Bow. Aside from this she can gain [[Simian Slam]], Super Simian Slam, and Super Duper Simian Slam, which all Kongs can obtain.

She is the only Kong that can enter where the Banana Fairy Princess is found, and using Tiny's Monkeyport is the only way of getting to Hideout Helm. She is also playable in the Multiplayer mode. In the mode, she has 3 alternate color schemes, all of which changes the color of her overalls. Aside from her default blue color, she can use red, green or purple overalls.   

She appears in the three endings of the game. In the first ending she appears playing with Chunky, until he throws her very high and gets mad at him once she lands. In the second ending she appears riding K. Lumsy, along with all the other Kongs, sitting on Chunky's hand. In the third ending she first uses her Pony Tail Twirl to fly, but ends up crashing. She is later seen posing with Candy Kong and the mermaid, as two [[Kritter]]s are watching them. She is lastly seen walking up to Donkey Kong, who has trouble pulling a lever using his [[Gorilla Grab]]. Tiny helps DK by gently tapping it with her hand, which sends DK flying away. She then skips away from the lever.

This is the first game she appears as playable along her sister and also this is her second playable appearance after eight years. Although this was the first racing game in which she appeared, she had previously raced two times against a toy car in ''Donkey Kong 64'', in the levels Frantic Factory and Creepy Castle.  

Tiny Kong's next appearance was in the [[Wii]] game ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. She is an unlockable character, unlocked by winning the Sapphire Cup with a Kong Character. She is very fast and her rival is [[Kalypso]], a Kremling with identical stats. She has excellent boost, good speed but below average agility. In this game, she attacks her opponents by swinging her ponytails around her like a helicopter, possibly using the Pony Tail Twirl. Like all the playable characters, she has the ability to perform [[Wild Move]]s.

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', she is shown once again as an unlockable trophy. Like with ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', her trophy doesn't mention that she is Dixie's sister, but it does mention "She isn't quite as small as when we first met her", implying her current appearance. Her trophy is featured in the "Donkey Kong and his friends" trophy box, along [[Wrinkly Kong]], [[Lanky Kong]], Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, [[Cranky Kong]], [[Candy Kong]] and [[Funky Kong]].

In challenge mode, she has to help Mario and the others beat Bowser and his son Bowser Jr., by playing baseball matches. Tiny can be found in the [[DK Jungle (Mario Super Sluggers)|DK Jungle]] stage; after Mario and the others get the three stone tablet pieces and raise the bridge they can access the area where Tiny is being held by Bowser Jr.. Mario and the others eventually defeat Bowser Jr. and Tiny offers to join the team. She is part of the ''[[DK Wilds]]''.

Tiny Kong's bat is sky blue with a white flower, similar to the one on her top. She is the only Kong character to use a normal bat. Her pitching entrance includes her spinning. When she pitches the ball and the character batting misses three times, she celebrates by turning back and putting her right arm up, while her left arm down. Her batting entrance includes her waving her hand, winking and then preparing to bat. Like with the other team players, Tiny Kong can use Star skills while pitching, which can make the ball go faster or slower. Her sweetspot is the flower on the bat.

She has good [[chemistry]] with her sister, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Donkey Kong, [[Baby Donkey Kong|Baby DK]], and a [[Mii|Cyan Mii]]; she has bad chemistry with King K Rool, Kritter, and [[Birdo]]. When the team she is in wins but she does not win MVP, she celebrates by waving her hands and tilting her hip from one side to another. If she does win MVP, she will break into a brief dance. Her only ability is Clamber, meaning she can climb walls to catch the ball and negate Home Runs.

During her debut in ''Donkey Kong 64'', Tiny's fur was a lighter brown as opposed to her darker fur which she had in ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'' onwards. Her eyes were blue, but they were also bigger. She was depicted with four fingers, but since ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'' she has five.  Her clothes consisted of blue overalls with a flower on them, a white T-shirt and white shoes, and the same multicolored beanie hat as her current appearance, except with a red top instead of purple. She also had bangs in this design. She was smaller at this time, but she was a head taller than Diddy Kong. Tiny's voice and demeanor is hinted at being that of a sarcastic Kong (acting similar to that of ''[[Kazooie]]'').  

Her clothing consists of sky blue sweat pants with a sky blue big-belly baring spaghetti-strap top with her belly button exposed. Her top has a flower on it and has purple borders, wears orchid sandals and also wears a beanie hat, that is green in the bottom, purple in the middle, pink on the top and has pink borders around the green color. She has pink nails.
