That is a nice way of looking at it. Hopefully, she will at least make it in some day. As I said before, Ultimate is a very nice sendoff to fans of Smash Bros. who have been following it since the very beginning. It brought back every single character, and nearly every stage. It also finally brought in the one character that I had been dreaming of the most, Ridley, a character whom with each subsequent game in the series had an increasingly important NPC role (background NPC in Smash 64, trophy and part of the intro to Melee, two boss fights in Brawl, a stage hazard that could become an ally and had attributes of a playable character in Smash 4 Wii U) before finally culminating and becoming a part of the roster. Ridley becoming playable was the culmination of a journey that started with the very beginning of the series.
People in nearly everything in life seem to have that "just one more time" itch to them. I myself am even guilty of this. Many things I deemed to likely never happen after Smash 4 (Ridley being a part of the roster, Castlevania being a part of the roster, every veteran returning for at least one more time) somehow miraculously happened for Ultimate. With so many stars aligning for my personal desires on those things, I was saying to myself "now all that is left is Dixie Kong, After Dixie Kong, I will not ask for anything else." However, I had forgotten how for years saying, "all I need is Ridley and Mega Man added, and Mewtwo and Roy back in. After that, I am done." As I said before, Ultimate spoiled me rotten.
I would like to comment on this. Apparently, there are 15 additional placeholder slots for World of Light.
I actually would not be surprised if one of the two extra theoretical Fighters Passes were just echoes. It could easily save Sakurai and his team a year of time and effort while also padding out the roster with popularly requested characters.Somethin' tells me other Fighter Passes might be something more easier to implement to the game, such as more Echoes in style of Daisy or Richter. No way they'd want to work on adding even more unique fighters with the team disbanding slowly during Ultimate's DLC development.
Also... hello ya'll? I haven't been much here since last year, I think.
Once again, really fantastic work. As others have said, it is a shame stuff like this most likely will never be realized in the Mario Kart series or any racing game for that matter. I remember early on in this decade there were all sorts of rumors surrounding a possible Diddy Kong Racing sequel, but it apparently went nowhere. The extended DK cast used to have quite a presence in the Mario spinoffs, but with the 2010's, we are only left with DK and Diddy. Hopefully, they will someday be reintroduced to a future Mario spinoff title.Back with another set. Winky's making a comeback and he's bringing Quawks along with him!
I definitely like that Miyamoto made some doodles of Dixie Kong. I wonder if he even still remembers her? It is still a very neat piece of her history, and part of me wishes that Rare did take Miyamoto's ideas for her design. I think it could have possibly made Dixie Kong viewed as more integral to the DK series in the post-Rare era with Miyamoto having been personally involved with her design. However, it also could have made no difference at all. Personally, I do like Miyamoto's suggestions with the banana and heart.
Dixie Kong was actually named "Diddiane" during DKC2's pre-production period interestingly enough. So at one point, another name did belong to Dixie Kong.
This is basically the Diddy Kong Effect. K.Rool had it previously. It just happend to be that the whole community voted for Diddy before K.Rool, because Diddy was the most obviously missing from Melee many felt. Myself included, obviously. I would've never considered voting for K.Rool before Diddy, and same with many others. There was still quiet support for King K.Rool before Diddy's reveal in Brawl, but the same fans who wanted K.Rool where mostly also Diddy supporters. So that's why we shouldn't be upset that K.Rool got in before Dixie Kong. Because frankly, he's been missed more than Dixie, who just returned to Tropical Freeze a few years before K.Rool's return in Smash Ultimate. In many ways, he's a blessing in disguise for Dixie fans, because with his re-establishment of the major villain of the DKC franchise, more and more of Rare's created content should make it's way back to the franchise's future in Nintendo's own hands. Dixie is already back, so it's more likely now than ever that she, and K.Rool, will continue to be part of DKC's future. If we ever gonna get a new game... That's if.
I like that they kept the kneepads. All I would change is the fur color to make it lighter and more golden-brown so there's consistency between her hair and fur.A lot of people when they talk about what Dixie's design in smash could be, they want some kind of mix between her classic and modern design. The closest thing i could find to that existing is from Mario Superstar Baseball:
She retains a lot of elements from the classic design, such as the kneepads, weird spaghetti bangs, lighter hair color, and painted toenails (albeit very subtle). But also a lot of things from her modern design are here as well, such as the rounded eyes, larger ear rings, and 20 digits all around.
I kinda like this design, it feels like a good compromise between old and new, and incorporates most of the best features of each imo. What do you guys think?
For me I like Tropical Freeze's design of her best. I would just add the kneepads and she would be good to go!A lot of people when they talk about what Dixie's design in smash could be, they want some kind of mix between her classic and modern design.

I'd make it just a few shades lighter. Basically the tone she had in Tropical Freeze's intro, right before the Kongs get blown away.
How's this?

. It was actually a step up from Winky and Quawks as far as community response. It seems like we're running out of Animal Buddies though! What are you planning to do next? I wish I could start paying you...
lol Don't worry about it. I enjoy doing it!I got a lot of engagement on you Ellie and Parry,
Oh! Do Cat O'Nine Tails, Squiddicus (somehow), and Skowl the Startling!
Perhaps not for a while, but if the rumors about Nintendo wanting to build up the DK franchise to stand alongside Nintendo's other big franchies are true, I don't see why it couldn't happen eventually.
Where have they said that? Because they take a verrrrry long time to do this build up... Tropical Freeze is already 5 years old.
Ironically, her only appearance within those 7 years was in Smash Bros as a trophy.
I honestly can't think of a single other significant Nintendo character that has this distinction. I know Toad would be a popular pick, but he has plenty of non playable appearances outside of Smash so Dixie really does stand alone.Here's every game Dixie has appeared in:
Blue means playable, red means non-playable. You might notice a pattern...
Holy **** this is egregiousHere's every game Dixie has appeared in:

You might have to paint Brawl in purple perhaps due how Dixie almost was going to be in it as a duo character with Diddy, but was apparently removed.Here's every game Dixie has appeared in:

Does this comparison even work? They come from completely different series.
I mean, Corrin is an avatar character, so it makes sense there would be two skins for each canonical gender. If Dixie got in, I wouldn't really expect (or desire) her to have alternate skins since she really only has one iconic look anyway.
Along with Toad, Waluigi, and Bandanna Dee, Dixie is the biggest omission from the roster so she should have been in a long time ago.
You got that right.
"Change other people's posts" joke only works when you change something in it, not when you rewrite it completely to be something unrelated.You got that right.
What are you talking about? That was a glitch, I didn't do that on purpose.
Sorry about that, then.
A Kong with a Barrel Throw would fill a niche I think is mixing.
And with that in mind I'm here to present to y'all the news that........I still didn't re-complete all the levels, because my Gamepad broke. This is HORRIBLE news, as it was the Wind Waker Wii U (which F***ING SUCKS to lose. I really liked that thing....) and if I'm gonna replace it, I want to get an identical controller; not the white one, not a black one without Hylian designs, but another Wind Waker gamepad. Those are expensive online, and since I spent most of my time and money on moving during Holiday 2018 I put that on the backburner. Luckily, this post isn't just about me ranting; I beat some other levels with DK before the gamepad became FUBAR:
Am fearing this deeply as well... That DKC will be neglected once again on the Switch due to the lack of interesst Nintendo shows, and that it has no dedicated studio attached to it. It's a shame that literally any other big Nintendo franchise has this, even the ones who sell less than DKC and are less popular. I'm still quite distressed about the future of the franchise. I could see a DKC indie game happening, but that's basically all am expecting at this point. Maybe the Mario x Rabbids Donkey Kong DLC is the most we're gonna get outside of the Tropical Freeze port (to be honest, Switch DKC TF was the first time I got to play the game).
