'''Kong Kollege''' is a school run by [[Wrinkly Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. In both games there is a Kong Kollege in every world of [[Crocodile Isle]] except the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]].  
'''Kong Kollege''', or '''Wrinkly's Kong Kollege''',<ref name=manual>{{cite|date=1995|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page=26}}</ref> is a school run by [[Wrinkly Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. There is one present in every world of [[Crocodile Isle]] except the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lost World]] in the former game. The Kong Kollege is meant to provide education to [[Kremling]]s, something never shown during gameplay. The very first option is to save, which is free when first saving at a world, but Wrinkly subsequently charges one Banana Coin in Japanese releases, or two [[Banana Coin]]s in {{wp|Western world|Western}} releases. Just like [[Monkey Museum]], the player can also acquire advice and gameplay hints, likewise differing in each world. Kong Kollege is a private school, which explains its tuition fees for gameplay advice,<ref name=manual/> but after purchasing a piece of advice, the Kongs can hear it again for free. In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Kong Kollege only offers the essential option of saving the Kongs' progress, which remains two Banana Coins, also the sole function of her successor location in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'': [[Wrinkly's Save Cave]].


Sometime between the events of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''3'', Wrinkly retired from Kong Kollege to reside in her [[Wrinkly's Save Cave|Save Cave]]. Like its appearance in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', the only purpose of Wrinkly's Save Cave is to save the game progress, this time free of charge. For the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, the location was changed to [[Wrinkly's Retreat]].
Several objects appear in the background of Kong Kollege in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. The most altered element is the chalkboard, headlined "EXAM" ("SUMS" in the remake), which has a few incorrect math equations. In both versions, only one of the equations has an addition symbol. The equations on the chalkboard are 9/3=6, 8*1=9, and 4+2=5 though official artwork displays two correctly answered multiplication equations and 5*1=6. In the remake, the three incorrect equations are 2*8=4, 5-1=6, and 3+5=9. A few questions involving the background details of Kong Kollege are asked in [[Swanky's Bonus Bonanza]], including the number of globes, of which there are two (also depicting a different geography than [[Earth]]); desks, of which there are five; and airplane models, of which there are two. One of the questions in a [[Krazy Kremland]] challenge is who operates the Kong Kollege, with the answer being Wrinkly. Some of the minuscule details include an ABC's poster, a clock, a drawing of a stick figure jumping above a car, a fire extinguisher, potted flowers, test tubes, a textbook, a trophy, and a trash can.


== Overview ==
Wrinkly no longer provides the service of saving one's game progress in [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], something that is handled from the world map menu, which itself has all purchased advice for instant reference. There is an added "homework" option, where Wrinkly has [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] fill a [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]] with 40 [[photograph]]s. In [[Krazy Kremland]], [[Gloomy Gulch]], and [[K. Rool's Keep]], Wrinkly provides advice for each of the book's pages for 10 Banana Coins apiece, though only five pages are in each world's menu. The [[Kong]]s earn a [[DK Coin|Hero Coin]] for every page filled upon returning to Kong Kollege. The exterior of Kong Kollege depicts a clear, cloudy sky over a grassy field, as in the original version, but the remake changes the display per each world, depending on the theme.
[[File:Kong Kollege DKC2.png|thumb|left|256px|The Kongs visit Wrinkly in Kong Kollege.]]
Although it is not shown in-game, the main purpose of the Kong Kollege is providing education to the [[Kremling]]s. For [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]], Kong Kollege has a similar role to [[Monkey Museum]] (or [[Cranky's Hut]] in the remake) because they can purchase advice and gameplay hints from Wrinkly. The information is different for each world. Although most of the advice is of gameplay hints, Wrinkly also offers advice on enemies and the world boss. She sometimes asks if [[Kaptain K. Rool]] has done his homework.


Kong Kollege being a private school, explains its tuition fees for gameplay advice.<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2'' (Game Boy Advance) instruction booklet, page 18</ref> Although after first hearing a piece of advice, the Kongs can hear it again for free.

{|class="wikitable dk"
The first and foremost option offered in every world is saving the game. For each location, saving the game for the first time is free of charge, but Wrinkly subsequently charges two [[Banana Coin|Banana Bunch Coin]]s (or one in the Japanese version) to do so again. In [[The Flying Krock]], regardless of regional release, the first time the Kongs save their progress costs one Banana Bunch Coin.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Kong Kollege went through some minor changes. Since the remake allows the player to save their game from the newly-added world map menu (by pressing {{button|gba|start}}), Wrinkly no longer offers to save Diddy and Dixie's progress. The Kongs can also request to do "homework", by filling up a [[Scrapbook]] with 40 [[photograph]]s hidden throughout the game. In [[Krazy Kremland]], [[Gloomy Gulch]], and [[K. Rool's Keep]], she also gives advice for each of the book's pages for 10 Banana Bunch Coins apiece; she gives advice on five pages for each world. Wrinkly gives them a [[DK Coin]] for every page filled upon returning to Kong Kollege. The purchased advice can also be re-accessed from the world map menu (by pressing {{button|gba|r}}).

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Kong Kollege only offered the essential option of saving the Kongs' progress. This means that they are no longer able to purchase advice. The fee for saving the game remains two Banana Bunch Coins, even in the Japanese version.

A handful of objects are visible in the background of Kong Kollege, specifically in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. The design is much more simplistic in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', where half of the background had desks, a chalkboard, a bookshelf, and two windows. The official artwork makes it easier to analyze some of the background elements.

In the original version, a clear, cloudy sky over a grassy field is seen from the building. In the remake, the outside display varies between each world, based on its theme. This even affects the tint of Kong Kollege.

Wrinkly Kong, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

Kong Kollege, or Wrinkly's Kong Kollege,[1] is a school run by Wrinkly Kong in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. There is one present in every world of Crocodile Isle except the Lost World in the former game. The Kong Kollege is meant to provide education to Kremlings, something never shown during gameplay. The very first option is to save, which is free when first saving at a world, but Wrinkly subsequently charges one Banana Coin in Japanese releases, or two Banana Coins in Western releases. Just like Monkey Museum, the player can also acquire advice and gameplay hints, likewise differing in each world. Kong Kollege is a private school, which explains its tuition fees for gameplay advice,[1] but after purchasing a piece of advice, the Kongs can hear it again for free. In Donkey Kong Land 2, Kong Kollege only offers the essential option of saving the Kongs' progress, which remains two Banana Coins, also the sole function of her successor location in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!: Wrinkly's Save Cave.

Several objects appear in the background of Kong Kollege in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. The most altered element is the chalkboard, headlined "EXAM" ("SUMS" in the remake), which has a few incorrect math equations. In both versions, only one of the equations has an addition symbol. The equations on the chalkboard are 9/3=6, 8*1=9, and 4+2=5 though official artwork displays two correctly answered multiplication equations and 5*1=6. In the remake, the three incorrect equations are 2*8=4, 5-1=6, and 3+5=9. A few questions involving the background details of Kong Kollege are asked in Swanky's Bonus Bonanza, including the number of globes, of which there are two (also depicting a different geography than Earth); desks, of which there are five; and airplane models, of which there are two. One of the questions in a Krazy Kremland challenge is who operates the Kong Kollege, with the answer being Wrinkly. Some of the minuscule details include an ABC's poster, a clock, a drawing of a stick figure jumping above a car, a fire extinguisher, potted flowers, test tubes, a textbook, a trophy, and a trash can.

Wrinkly no longer provides the service of saving one's game progress in remake, something that is handled from the world map menu, which itself has all purchased advice for instant reference. There is an added "homework" option, where Wrinkly has Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong fill a Scrapbook with 40 photographs. In Krazy Kremland, Gloomy Gulch, and K. Rool's Keep, Wrinkly provides advice for each of the book's pages for 10 Banana Coins apiece, though only five pages are in each world's menu. The Kongs earn a Hero Coin for every page filled upon returning to Kong Kollege. The exterior of Kong Kollege depicts a clear, cloudy sky over a grassy field, as in the original version, but the remake changes the display per each world, depending on the theme.
