- —Quiztone, Donkey Kong Bananza
Quiztone is a Fractone who appears in Donkey Kong Bananza in several of the game's layers, identified by a bow tie and a bowler hat with a banana on its brim. When interacted with, he asks Donkey Kong a series of three questions, each with three multiple-choice answers, related to various features, mechanics, and character trivia previously encountered in the game, in a quiz show-like game titled Questones with Quiztone. After Donkey Kong successfully answers all three questions in a row, Quiztone gives him a Banandium Gem. If he answers a question incorrectly, he has to start the quiz again from the beginning.
Questones with Quiztone is similar to Swanky's Bonus Bonanza in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, hosted by Swanky Kong, who also wears a bowler hat and a vest in the same yellow checkboard pattern as Quiztone's bow in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and is even referenced in one of the incorrect answers for the final question of the Planet Core quiz; as well as the Sphynx's quizzes in Super Mario Odyssey.
