The Pony Tail Twirl works very similar to the [[Helicopter Spin]] of Tiny's older sister, [[Dixie Kong]].

Pony Tail Twirl (Roundum Roundus) is one of Tiny Kong's special moves from Donkey Kong 64. She can purchase this move from Cranky's Lab for five Banana Bunch Coins, starting with Frantic Factory.

The Pony Tail Twirl works very similar to the Helicopter Spin of Tiny's older sister, Dixie Kong. If the player presses and holds A Button while Tiny is in the air, she can glide by whirling her ponytails in a circular motion to reach distant areas. The Pony Tail Whirl slows down her descent, thus preventing her from taking damage by falling from high locations.
