| | '''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. |

It is a large circus-themed attraction where [[Swanky Kong]] hosts three ball-tossing [[minigame]]s. There is a Swanky's Sideshow in every world except [[Krematoa]]. In every mode, the goal is for [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] or [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] to throw balls at targets held by cardboard [[Kremling]]s. Their opponent is [[Cranky Kong]], who rambles before a match and afterward. Cranky reacts differently in each mode that he either wins or loses. If the Kongs win, Swanky rewards four bear coins and several [[Banana|Banana Bunch]]es to them, as well as sometimes also a [[Red Balloon]]. If they lose, Swanky gives Dixie and Kiddy a consolation prize of one bear coin and a few [[banana]]s. All three modes cost two [[bear coin]]s to play, and they are as follows: | |
|
| |
|
| *'''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.
| | ==Versions== |
| *'''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.
| | 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. |
| *'''Endurance:''' Dixie or Kiddy compete against Cranky to hit targets, however, the first Kong to miss a target loses.

The tent also appears in the background of the [[Banana Punch]] minigame in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''.
| | ===Endurance=== |
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], Swanky instead hosts a minigame titled [[Swanky's Dash]]. | | ===Head to Head=== |
| | 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. |
