Tiny Kong - Wii Animation Showcase

A showcase of Tiny Kong's new design. Features all animations from Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast and an overview of her Super Smash Bros. Brawl trophy.

EDIT: Tiny will be in Super Mario Sluggers so expect an updated video once Sluggers hits the states. Though if you're interested, Cyberman65 has some videos of her in action in the Japanese release.

Now, if you haven't heard about the redesign before, you're probably wondering HOW THE HECK DID THAT HAPPEN!

Well, after more research than anyone should actually do on the topic, I seem to have found the answer.

After Rare was bought by Microsoft, a Japanese company called Paon took over the Donkey Kong Country series.

Now, as it ends up, Tiny and Dixie being related was never mentioned in Japan anywhere. So, when Paon went about creating Barrel Blast, they wanted another female Kong and brought in Tiny, but in order to make her more distinct they changed her design as Dixie is a much more well known design and thus could not be changed.

Also, Tiny's in-game model in DK64 could be mistaken for a very very small teenager due to how she is dressed (go look up a screenshot).

Now, you'll probably mention that Tiny's first redesigned apperance was in Rare's Diddy Kong Racing DS. However, remember that Barrel Blast was in development for a while as a Gamecube game. As it ends up, her Barrel Blast apperance actually DID come first as Rare mentions in their Scribes section that her redesign was either Paon or Nintendo's doing.

As for an in-game explanation? There is none. Everyone just acts like it's perfectly normal. Personally if *I* had to come up with one, I'd say Tiny has gotten better with her whole size changing ability ^_~


The purpose of this video is to show Tiny's new design in action as she has only appeared in 3 games (Diddy Kong Racing DS, Barrel Blast, and as a trophy in Brawl). As not many people own Barrel Blast I figured I would upload a showcase so that she could be seen in motion for either reference or argument (over if they "ruined" her or whatever).

Oh, and if you're wondering, I'm trying to show that she has toenail polish in that lower body rotate section! XD That always gets me. It's so absurd it's awesome.

The music is "Monkey Dance" (random Eurobeat song) and "Like a Monkey" (self-parody of "Like a Robot" from Time Splitters 3). It's there because the sound jumps between clips are annoying :P

All i want is a new donkey kong game that features all of the DK Crew that isnt a spin off, Like a 3DS remake of Donkey Kong 64 would be nice.

the first song sounds like it should be an intro for an anime

[teay20000]

What is this song in this clip???

I dont know why everyone is making such a big deal about her new look... I grew up with Donkey Kong 64 too and she was one of my favorite characters, but that doesn't mean she cant change style, so she grew up, her name "tiny" referred to her ability to shrink, not being really small to begin with! In any case she's still "Tiny" so accept it and move on!!

Also great Compilation! I think I'll get this game!!

I thought the lyrics said "me gusta" instead of "like a star". I think I've been reading to many comics using those meme faces (troll face, rage guy... me gusta...).

Nice compilation =)
