'''Swanky Kong''', spelled '''Swankey Kong''' on one occasion,<ref> | '''Swanky Kong''', spelled '''Swankey Kong''' on one occasion,<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 36, page 22.</ref> is a member of the [[Kong Family]] and a game show host. He is notable for being a flashy entrepreneur; in his first appearance, he wears a blue coat and has an afro hairstyle. In his second appearance, however, he wears a fancy suit with a matching cane, his hair is covered by a bowler hat, and he appears to be much taller. His face resembles that of [[Donkey Kong]]'s. | ||

===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''=== | |||
[[File:Swankys Bonus Bonanza DKC2.png|thumb|left|Swanky's original role from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'']] | |||
[[File: | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Swanky hosts an optional game show at [[Swanky's Bonus Bonanza]]; here, he provides three quizzes to [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] regarding the game's content, and he requires a fee of [[Banana Coin|Banana Bunch Coin]]s if the [[Kong]]s want to participate. By successfully answering every question from a quiz, the Kongs are rewarded with [[Extra Life Balloon|extra lives]] from Swanky. | ||
In the [[ | In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, [[Candy Kong]] appears as Swanky's assistant on the show. Swanky's role is no longer optional because the Kongs have to complete all three quizzes of a world in exchange for a [[DK Coin]]. If Diddy and Dixie complete every quiz, Swanky provides them with a [[photograph]] of himself. Also, in the [[Reissue#Remakes|remake]], Swanky charges ten Banana Bunch Coins if the Kongs want to rematch a boss. During the battle, a timer appears at the top-center of the screen, to keep track of the Kongs' progress. Swanky rewards the Kongs with prizes, based on how well they performed in the boss battle. | ||
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''=== | |||
[[File:Swanky's Sideshow DKC3.png|thumb|Swanky's new role in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'']] | |||
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', Swanky hosts a circus tent called [[Swanky's Sideshow]], where participants can compete in a ball-throwing contest for prizes. Only the upper half of his body is shown, as he is always shown to be inside of a barrel (including in his [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]] photograph). However, Swanky's entire body is shown from his official artwork. | |||
Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] can pay Swanky with a few [[bear coin]]s to compete in various throwing contests against [[Cranky Kong]]. If the Kongs can get a higher score than Cranky, then Swanky awards them with prizes, including bananas and bear coins. Like the prequel, Swanky's role is optional and is unrelated to the main storyline. | |||
For the Game Boy Advance version, Swanky hosts a different location, [[Swanky's Dash]]. He allows Dixie to compete in a virtual reality-type [[minigame]] which involves her collecting stars on a rotating landscape (Kiddy cannot participate because he is too young). Swanky's outfit also went unchanged from his previous appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. When the Kongs win at his first challenge, Swanky rewards them with a [[Banana Bird]] and a [[DK Coin]]—Dixie is not required to participate in subsequent challenges. | |||

Swanky' | Swanky Kong makes a few cameos in ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]''. In Freestyle Zone, both his artwork from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' sometimes appear on-screen as the player is freely drumming. He is also one of the selectable badges after finishing a song or in the Match That Badge! challenge. His badge is not featured in the Japanese version, which instead has a badge of a regular human. | ||
