'''Swanky's Sideshow''', also named '''Swanky Kong's Sideshow''',<ref>''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 90, page 29.</ref> '''Swanky's Tent''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 89, page 33.</ref> and '''Swanky's Side Show''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) Issue 51, page 21.</ref> is a large circus-themed attraction where [[Swanky Kong]] hosts three ball-tossing [[minigame]]s. It only appears in the original [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Swanky's Sideshow is optional and the Kongs can play it for prizes. There is a Swanky's Sideshow in every world except for [[Krematoa]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Swanky runs a minigame known as [[Swanky's Dash]] instead.

In every mode, the primary objective is for [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] or [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] (depending on which [[Kong]] is active) to throw balls at targets held by cardboard [[Kremling]]s. Their opponent is [[Cranky Kong]], who rambles before a match and afterward. Cranky has a different reaction for each mode that he either wins or loses at.

All three modes cost two [[bear coin]]s to play. If the Kongs win, Swanky rewards four bear coins and several [[Banana|Banana Bunch]]es to them, sometimes even a [[Red Balloon]]. If they lose, Swanky gives Dixie and Kiddy a consolation prize of one bear coin and a few [[banana]]s.

*'''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.
