In Swanky’s Gold Mine in Donkey Kong Country 2, you will exchange your gaming knowledge for extra life. Here you will find the answers for all six quiz locations of the German SNES version, each in the order of the three questions.
How Swanky’s Quiz Works
Choose a challenge and answer three questions correctly. An error ends the attempt; for a new attempt you have to pay again. An already won quiz can not be used again as a source of life.
| Challenge | Usual use | Profit |
|---|---|---|
| First Quiz | 1 Banana Coin | Red Balloon: 1 Life |
| Second Quiz | 2 Banana coins | Green Balloon: 2 Lives |
| Third Quiz | 3 Banana Coins | Blue Balloon: 3 Lives |
Exception at the first location: On the gallion planks, Swanky’s game costs nothing, Pirate Puzzle Sack one coin and Chimp Challenge two coins. Balloon rewards remain the same.

Important tripping points
At Baboon Booty, Cat O’9 Tails is the answer you’re looking for. The question is sometimes misrepresented in overviews. Depend here on the name of the offered answer, not on a recounted opponent list.
The Flying Crocodile and Lost World do not have their own quiz location. Swanky’s goldmine also does not replace a bonus room solution: for the levels and collectibles, use the remaining chapters of this complete solution.
Differences to the GBA version
On the Game Boy Advance you choose answers about the letter block stars on the ground. Individual texts differ: In the case of crocodile heads, the English GBA version calls green and red instead of green and brown. The completion of all quiz challenges brings in the remake additionally Swanky’s photo for the album.
