Tiny Kong


A few years into the Nintendo 64’s life, Rare finally produced a proper 3D game for the Donkey Kong series, in the same general style as their smash hits Banjo-Kazooie and Conker’s Bad Fur Day. This one saw King K. Rool menacing the island with a giant cannon capable of blowing the thing to smithereens and capturing all of the Kongs except Donkey. Donkey then had to travel around the island, fighting the Kremlings and freeing his allies, starting with Diddy, followed by a little Kong with pigtails.

This is Tiny Kong, the little sister of Dixie Kong who inherited her ability to fly by spinning her hair around. She was the smallest and most nimble of the party, capable of shrinking down to get into tiny spaces her allies couldn’t get too. She’d recur multiple times in the games, going through puberty at point and shooting up to a tall and shapely teenager, even though her older sister didn’t.

As a fighter, Tiny will be able to swap between her child and teenage self as part of her size changing mechanics, switching her stats around when she does so. Her moveset will pull partially from Dixie as well as her own abilities in Donkey Kong 64.

Likelihood rating: Good possibility
