Entering this area allows the heroes to meet [[Swanky Kong]], who is willing to give them a [[Banana Bird]] if they complete his Bonus Game, which costs two [[Bear Coin]]s to play. During the game, [[Dixie Kong]], who is the only playable [[Kong]] old enough to play the game, must run through a pipeline and collect many stars. There are over 100 stars in each stage, and she has to move all around the perimeter of the pipeline to grab them. However, as she runs, she has to watch out for spiky balls, as hitting into them causes her to drop all of the collected stars. At the end of the Bonus Game, Swanky Kong gives out extra Bear Coins and [[Banana Bunch]]es to the apes, as well as his single Banana Bird.

Swanky's Dash, along with the other minigames in the game, can be replayed from the main menu if the player enters the "EXTRAS" [[cheat code#Game Boy Advance version 3|cheat code]] in the "Options" menu. Upon selecting Swanky's Dash from the minigame menu, the player has the option to replay each world's challenge. The game also saves a high score for each world based on how many stars Dixie accumulates.
Each world has its own Swanky's Dash stage except [[Krematoa]]. Every stage has a unique layout, with later ones including more spike balls. If Dixie collects most of the stars along her way, she wins the mini-game. Swanky rewards her with [[Bear Coin]]s, [[Banana Bunch]]es, and a [[Red Balloon]]. When Dixie completes the challenge for the first time, Swanky rewards a [[Banana Bird]] to her and Kiddy.  


Swanky's Dash (along with [[Cranky's Dojo]], and [[Funky's Rentals]]) can be replayed from the main menu if the player enters "EXTRAS" from the Cheats menu. Upon selecting Swanky's Dash from the mini-game menu, the player has the option to replay each world's challenge. Each challenge saves a high score if Dixie collects more stars than the previous time.

Swanky's Dash is a virtual-reality game. In it, Dixie (Kiddy is too young to participate, according to Swanky) runs through a pipeline filled with small stars and explosive spike balls. Dixie must grab the stars by moving all around the perimeter of the pipeline. Dixie's objective is to collect as many stars within 45 seconds (there are 100 stars in every stage). If Dixie hits a spike ball, she loses every star that she collected.

Each world has its own Swanky's Dash stage except Krematoa. Every stage has a unique layout, with later ones including more spike balls. If Dixie collects most of the stars along her way, she wins the mini-game. Swanky rewards her with Bear Coins, Banana Bunches, and a Red Balloon. When Dixie completes the challenge for the first time, Swanky rewards a Banana Bird to her and Kiddy.

Swanky's Dash (along with Cranky's Dojo, and Funky's Rentals) can be replayed from the main menu if the player enters "EXTRAS" from the Cheats menu. Upon selecting Swanky's Dash from the mini-game menu, the player has the option to replay each world's challenge. Each challenge saves a high score if Dixie collects more stars than the previous time.
