'''Kong Kollege''', or '''Wrinkly's Kong Kollege''',<ref name=manual>''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]]''. 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]] in the former game. Although it is not shown in-game, the main purpose of the Kong Kollege is providing education to the [[Kremling]]s, and despite its name, Kong Kollege more closely resembles an elementary school. The first and foremost option offered in every world is saving the game. In each [[world]], saving for the first time is free, but Wrinkly subsequently charges one Banana Coin in Japanese releases, or two [[Banana Coin]]s in {{wp|Western world|Western}} releases. In all regions, the first-time fee in [[The Flying Krock]] is one Banana Coins. Similarly to [[Monkey Museum]], the player can purchase 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. Though she mostly provides gameplay hints, Wrinkly can also offer advice on enemies and the world boss. In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Kong Kollege only offers the essential option of saving the Kongs' progress, which remains two Banana Coins.
'''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]].  


A few questions regarding the background details of Kong Kollege are asked in [[Swanky's Bonus Bonanza]], including the globes (answer: 2), desks (answer: 5), and airplane models (answer: 2). In a [[Krazy Kremland]] challenge, he even asks who operates the Kong Kollege, which is Wrinkly.
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]].
 
== Overview ==
[[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.
 
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.
 
==Features==
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 [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], since the remake allows the player to save their game from the newly-added world map menu, Wrinkly no longer offers to save the player's progress, and any purchased advice can be instantly re-accessed from the world map menu. Kong Kollege adds a "homework" option, activating a side-quest 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.
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.

Several objects appear in the background of Kong Kollege, mainly in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', since the design is a lot simpler in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', where half of the background had desks, a chalkboard, a bookshelf, and two windows. 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.

In both versions, only one of the equations has an addition symbol. The equations on the chalkboard are 8*1=9, 4+2=5, and 9/6=3. In the Game Boy Advance version, the three incorrect equations are 2*8=4, 5-1=6, and 3+5=9.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Kong Kollege is the only save point in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' trilogy to not have the word "save" in its name.
*The official artwork displays three different equations on the chalkboard, two of which are correctly answered. They are all multiplication equations, and the only incorrect one (5*1=6) should have an addition symbol in place of the multiplication one.
