In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, [[Candy Kong]] appears as Swanky's assistant on the show. Swanky's role is no longer optional because the Kongs have to complete all three quizzes of a world in exchange for a [[DK Coin|Video Game Hero Coin]]. If Diddy and Dixie complete every quiz, Swanky provides them with a [[photograph]] of himself. Also, in the [[Reissue#Remakes|remake]], Swanky charges ten Banana Coins if the Kongs want to rematch a boss. During the battle, a timer appears at the top-center of the screen, to keep track of the Kongs' progress. Swanky rewards the Kongs with prizes, based on how well they performed in the boss battle. | In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, [[Candy Kong]] appears as Swanky's assistant on the show.
