In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|version]], [[Candy Kong]] can be seen in the background as Swanky's assistant on the show. When all of Swanky's quizzes are completed, Diddy and Dixie receive a [[photograph]] of him, something that they are required to obtain for [[Wrinkly Kong]]'s [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]] sidequest. In addition, Swanky was given another role where he charges ten Banana Coins if the Kongs want to rematch a boss, so during the battle, a timer appears at the top-center of the screen, and when the battle concludes, Swanky rewards the Kongs with prizes, the value of which depends on how well they performed in the boss battle. | In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|version]], [[Candy Kong]] can be seen in the background as Swanky's assistant on the show.

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. Swanky is only ever seen by his upper half, because he is always sitting inside of a [[barrel]], which obscures his lower half, even within his [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]] photograph. However, Swanky's entire body is seen in his official artwork. At his place, Swanky charges Dixie or [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] a few [[bear coin]]s to compete in various throwing contests against [[Cranky Kong]]. If the Kongs can achieve a higher score than Cranky, then Swanky awards them with prizes, including bananas and bear coins. Like the previous game, Swanky's role is optional and is unrelated to the main storyline. | 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.
