Trivia[edit]

  • Prior to the 1.1.0 update, Dixie Kong (as well as the Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong spirit) was ordered before Swanky Kong and Wrinkly Kong.
  • The Donkey Kong & Bongos' game of origin is listed as "Donkey Kong Jungle Beat", despite the artwork and specific pairing actually coming from the Donkey Konga series.
    • The game title ui_gametitle_donkey_konga_series exists within the game files, implying the spirit was supposed to be associated with the Donkey Konga series at one point before being changed.
  • Kiddy is the only member of the Kong Family who doesn't have his own Spirit.
