'''Swanky's Bonus Bonanza''', shortened to '''Bonus Bonanza''' on the world map in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, is a quiz show hosted by [[Swanky Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. An establishment appears in every world except for [[The Flying Krock]] and the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]].
==Description==
===Super Nintendo Entertainment System===
In the area, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] or [[Dixie Kong]] can choose from three quiz challenges to participate in. The player can select a quiz to participate in from a menu, and each quiz costs one, two, or three [[Banana Coin]]s for the [[Kong]]s to participate in. When a quiz is selected, Swanky asks three multiple choice questions to Diddy and Dixie, each relating to the game itself. The difficulty of the quiz is based on the cost for participating in it. After Swanky asks a question, the player must select one of the three letter choices (A, B, and C). The quiz ends if they select the wrong answer, and the Kongs must pay another fee to retry that quiz.
 
If the Kongs answer all three questions correctly, Swanky rewards them with either a [[Red Balloon]] (one life), [[Green Balloon]] (two lives), or a [[Blue Balloon]] (three lives). The Kongs are rewarded the same number of lives as the cost for participating in the quiz itself. After completing a challenge, Diddy and Dixie cannot replay the challenge again. If Diddy and Dixie visit a Swanky's Bonus Bonanza where they have completed all three quizzes previously, Swanky only reminds them about it, and then Diddy and Dixie leave the location.
 
===Game Boy Advance===
[[File:Bonus Bonanza DKC2 GBA.png|thumb|Swanky asks a question to the Kongs in the Game Boy Advance version]]
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, the Bonus Bonanza retains its main concept, although most of the layout is different. The Bonus Bonanza takes place in two rooms. In the main room, Diddy and Dixie must choose a quiz by walking to its barrel and selecting it. Each barrel displays either 1–3 Banana Coins to visually represent the cost for participating. The Life Balloon reward corresponds to the platform color beneath each barrel (red, green, or blue). By selecting a quiz, Diddy and Dixie jump into the barrel and appear in the game show room.
 
Swanky asks a question on the display, and then the three options are displayed. Three red star-shaped buttons are on the floor, each displaying a letter (A, B, or C) to correspond to the letter choices. To highlight a choice, Diddy and Dixie must walk on a star and jump on it. [[Candy Kong]] is at the right of the game show room, and her only role is pointing to the choice currently highlighted by the Kongs. If Diddy and Dixie select a wrong answer, the star disappears, causing the Kongs fall down the floor and return to the main room. When the Kongs successfully answer all three questions, they exit from the quiz's barrel, which then permanently disappears.
 
When the Kongs complete every world's challenges, Swanky rewards Diddy and Dixie with a [[photograph]] of himself, which is in the tenth page of the [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]]. This means that unlike the original Super Nintendo version, the Kongs are required to do the Bonus Bonanza challenges.

==Appearance==
Set in a studio, Swanky will let [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] or [[Dixie Kong]] partake in one of three quiz challenges in exchange for [[Banana Coin]]s. The three quizzes cost either one, two or three coins to play, with the price indicating their difficulty level. For each quiz, Swanky will ask three multiple choice questions about the game. If the [[Kong]]s answer any questions incorrect, the quiz will end, and they will lose, although they can retry the challenge if they are willing to pay for another go.
[[File:Swankys Bonus Bonanza DKC2 GBA.png|thumb|left|Diddy and Dixie choosing from the Gangplank Galleon quizzes in the Game Boy Advance remake]]
The area takes place inside of a studio. The logo BONUS appears in the background, and it is made up of flashing red, blue, and green dots. Two objects from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' also appear in the background: a [[Giant Banana]] and a pair of the three types of [[Extra Life Balloon]]s of [[Donkey Kong]]'s head (red, green, and blue). The floor is glossy and reflective, and a horizontal line of stars is at the bottom. There are three barrels numbered 1–3 on individual platforms, and they each correspond to a quiz (or "game", as stated by the purple banners beneath each barrel). The barrel's number is the same as the cost in Banana Coins and the number of [[Extra Life Balloon|extra lives]] rewarded by Swanky.


In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, like other supporting locations, the Bonus Bonanza was redesigned. The floor and walls resemble the design of a [[barrel]]. There are two cameras at the bottom-left and the bottom-right corner respectively, and gray stage lights are suspended from the ceiling. The BONUS logo is smaller and made up of small, glittery stars. A yellow-orange star appears on each side of the BONUS logo, and a larger one is centered on the floor. The barrels representing the quizzes are average size, each appearing on a red, a green, and a blue stand.
If the Kongs answer all three questions correctly, they will be awarded with an [[Extra Life Balloon]], the value of which will correspond to how many Banana Coins the quiz was priced at. Once a quiz is completed, it can never be replayed. Each location of Swanky's Bonus Bonanza has its own unique set of quizzes.


In the Game Boy Advance version, most of the quiz room is empty except for a large display. It is surrounded by a border of red, green, and blue dots. Swanky and Candy stand next to the display, on the left and right sides respectively. The three red star panels are in the center, in front of the large display.  
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[reissue|remake]] of the game, Swanky's Bonus Bonanza has undergone some changes. It is now simply known as '''Bonus Bonanza'''. When a quiz is chosen, the Kong playing will enter a barrel that will transport them to a stage, where Swanky Kong will ask his questions from atop a podium. [[Candy Kong]] is also Swanky's assistant, although she does not contribute anything to the game. Also, to answer the questions, the Kong playing must instead select their answer (either "A", "B", or "C"), by jumping on the corresponding star-shaped button on the floor.
