As Dixie's sister, she is the cousin of [[Kiddy Kong]] and [[Chunky Kong]]. She is known for being both nimble and fast and using her two ponytails to accomplish different tasks. | ||

Since her older redesign in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', where her name "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. | ||

Tiny Kong | Tiny Kong cameos in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. She is present in several of [[Funky Kong]]'s [[minigames]], namely "[[Funky's Flights (Bonus Game)#Kongnapped|Kongnapped]]" and "[[Funky's Flights (Bonus Game)#Kongnapped 2|Kongnapped 2]]", where Diddy or Dixie has to save her from [[Zinger]]s.

Much like her sister she uses her ponytails for attacking enemies, slowing and controlling her descent to the ground and can also extend her jump by rotating her ponytails. In ''Donkey Kong 64'' she was the fastest Kong, she had a very high jump, she could also attack enemies by jumping on them and she is good at swimming and could breathe underwater; however she had the weakest physical attacks of all the Kongs. In ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'' she once again used her ponytails to attack and break things open. She, like all the other racers, could also perform [[Wild Move]]s in this game. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'' she had the ability ''Clamber''. | Much like her sister she uses her ponytails for attacking enemies, slowing and controlling her descent to the ground and can also extend her jump by rotating her ponytails.
