| | '''Swanky's Sideshow''' is a large circus-themed tent where [[Swanky Kong]] runs 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!]]''. There is a Swanky's Sideshow in every area of the [[Northern Kremisphere]], except for [[Krematoa]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] port, Swanky runs a minigame known as [[Swanky's Dash]] instead. |

| '''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.
| | ==Versions== |
| | At Swanky's Sideshow, [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] can play against [[Cranky Kong]] in a ball tossing minigame, with one of three different rules. In every version of the game, targets will pop up, and the player must knock them down by throwing balls at them. Cranky must then do the same with his own set of targets. A target will lower on its own if someone fails to hit it after a short time. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | ===Endurance=== |
| ==Modes== | | In the endurance version the player and Cranky will compete to hit their own set of targets; the first one to miss a target loses. |

| |
| *'''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.
| |
| *'''Race to 25:''' Dixie or Kiddy compete against Cranky to hit 25 targets within a minute. If the active Kong and Cranky do not hit 25 targets within the time limit, then the Kong that hit the most targets wins.
| |
| *'''Endurance:''' Dixie or Kiddy compete against Cranky to hit targets, however, the first Kong to miss a target loses.

| | In Head to Head version there is a meter with five sections. The active Kong's face is at the top, while Cranky's is at the bottom. Each time someone hits a target, the meter will rise or lower a notch in their direction. The object is to hit enough targets so that the player breaks through the meter before their opponent. |
