Swanky Kong is a Rare-created member of the Kong family, along with Donkey Kong.

Swanky Kong appears in both Donkey Kong Country 2 and Donkey Kong Country 3, in both you can play games with him for prizes. In Donkey Kong Country 2, he ran a quiz show on Crocodile Isle. After the Kremling island was destroyed though, he found another way to make a living, which lead to his running of an on-the-road throwing contest in a circus tent.

In the GBA version of DKC 3, Swanky makes the move to virtual entertainment, and opens up a VR dome. Swanky's new attraction isn't as flashy or colourful as his other ventures, but it does manage to rake in as many bear coins as in the original game.

Some Donkey Kong fans speculate that Swanky is Donkey's younger brother. However, there is no reference to this in the text or manuals of any game. A possible explanation for this theory is probably due to the fact that Swanky looks strikingly similar to Donkey Kong himself.

Swanky was altogether absent in Donkey Kong 64. However, the tent where he held his throwing contest in DKC3 made a surprise appearance in Mario Superstar Baseball.
