Donkey Kong Country series
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 DKC3, Swanky makes the move to virtual entertainment, and opens up a VR dome. Swanky's new attraction isn't as flashy or colorful as his other ventures, but it does manage to rake in as many bear coins as in the original game.
Other
Swanky was altogether absent in Donkey Kong 64. However, the tent where he held his throwing contest in DKC3 made a surprise appearance alongside his image on a sign in the Mario Superstar Baseball stage devoted to DK.
