“I've found life too hectic at school with all those naughty Kremlings pestering me all the time!”
Wrinkly Kong, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

Kong Kollege is a school run by Wrinkly Kong in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. There are actually several Kong Kolleges, with one in each area of Crocodile Isle, excluding the Lost World. While it is never seen in-game, Wrinkly teaches at Kong Kollege to educate Kremlings.

In the SNES version, Diddy and Dixie Kong can visit Wrinkly at Kong Kollege, and have her save their game. The first save at any location is free, but consecutive saves at the same location cost two Banana Coins each (one Banana Coin in the Japanese version of Donkey Kong Country 2). However, Wrinkly will charge the Kongs one Banana Coin for their first save at The Flying Krock.

Wrinkly also teaches gameplay tips, both basic and advanced. However, it is not necessary to hear any of Wrinkly's tips. Most tips cost Banana Coins, but once paid for, Wrinkly will repeat them free of charge. Wrinkly also offers tips on the guardian (boss) of each area. In Donkey Kong Land 2, these tips are not offered, meaning that the player can only save.

Between the events of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Wrinkly retired from Kong Kollege to reside at her Save Cave. While she no longer offered tips, she was still around to save the player's game, always for free.

In-game description

Instruction Booklet (GBA):

  • "Since most people don't read the manual, you can get some basic game education from Wrinkly. But since it's a private school, you'll have to pay the tuition fees."

Trivia

  • If one looks at the image above where it says "EXAM," he or she can see that the answers to Wrinkly's math problems are wrong. In Donkey Kong Country 2, Wrinkly occasionally remarks, "Well! Just look at those sums those Kremlings have done. Disgraceful!"
