The '''Helicopter Spin''' (also called the '''Ponytail Spin'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]] electronic manual | The '''Helicopter Spin''' (also called the '''Ponytail Spin'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]] electronic manual. Tab 2: "Controls".</ref>, alternatively parsed as '''pony tail spin'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' Wii U Virtual Console electronic manual. Tab 2: "Controls".</ref>) is an ability performed by [[Dixie Kong]] in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' series. She first performs this ability in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. She also uses her Helicopter Spin in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. | ||
Since Dixie cannot [[Cartwheel Attack|cartwheel]] like [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] or [[Roll Attack|roll]] like [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]], Dixie rather uses her ponytail to spin into enemies. She primarily uses the Helicopter Spin while in midair, allowing her to safely move across gaps and other stage hazards; this move effectively slows her descent. Dixie performs the move by whirling her ponytail around in a circular motion, hence the ability name. In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', if Dixie is accompanied by Diddy or Kiddy respectively, her partner Kong rolls in the air while she uses Helicopter Spin. | Since Dixie cannot [[Cartwheel Attack|cartwheel]] like [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] or [[Roll Attack|roll]] like [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]], Dixie rather uses her ponytail to spin into enemies.
