'''Swanky's Sideshow''', also named '''Swanky Kong's Sideshow''',<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 90|page=29|date=November 1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> '''Swanky's Tent''',<ref>{{cite|date=October 1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 89|page=33}}</ref> and '''Swanky's Side Show''',<ref>{{cite|date=December 1996|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) Issue 51|page=21}}</ref> is a [[List of locations|location]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. It is a large circus-themed attraction where [[Swanky Kong]] hosts three ball-tossing [[minigame]]s. There is a Swanky's Sideshow in every world except [[Krematoa]]. In every mode, the goal is for [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] or [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] to throw balls at targets held by cardboard [[Kremling]]s. Their opponent is [[Cranky Kong]], who rambles before a match and afterward. Cranky reacts differently in each mode that he either wins or loses. If the Kongs win, Swanky rewards four bear coins and several [[Banana|Banana Bunch]]es to them, as well as sometimes also a [[Red Balloon]]. If they lose, Swanky gives Dixie and Kiddy a consolation prize of one bear coin and a few [[banana]]s. All three modes cost two [[bear coin]]s to play, and they are as follows:

*'''Head to Head:''' In this mode, a meter with five sections, one of which is red, is displayed on the right of the screen. The active Kong's face is at the top and Cranky's is at the bottom. Depending on which character hit a target, the red section moves either up or down a notch. The active Kong and Cranky must throw balls at targets until the red section reaches either the top or the bottom of the meter. Dixie and Kiddy win if the red section reaches the top, but Cranky wins if it reaches the bottom.
*'''Race to 25:''' Dixie or Kiddy compete against Cranky to hit 25 targets within a minute. If the active Kong and Cranky do not hit 25 targets within the time limit, then the Kong that hit the most targets wins.
*'''Endurance:''' Dixie or Kiddy compete against Cranky to hit targets, however, the first Kong to miss a target loses.

The Swanky's Sideshow's tent appears in the background of the [[Donkey Kong Jungle (baseball stadium)|Donkey Kong Jungle]] stadium in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', made even more evident from a billboard of Swanky Kong. The tent also appears in the background of the [[Banana Punch]] minigame in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''.

In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], Swanky instead hosts a minigame titled [[Swanky's Dash]].
