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 similarly to Dixie Kong's Helicopter Spin: 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 while also slowing her descent, preventing Tiny from taking damage by falling from high locations.
