Funky Kong was a good friend of Donkey Kong, originally depicted to resemble a surfer. He was more laidback than the adventurous Kongs and usually sat out on adventures. In most games he acts as a travel agent and/or mechanic for the Kongs, but on other occasions he ran fishing minigames or sold weapons.
Background
Funky Kong first appeared in Donkey Kong Country, where he allowed DK and Diddy to play fishing minigames at his hut (in the original version he instead allowed them to ride his Barrelplane around Donkey Kong Island). Funky also accompanied the other Kongs to Crocodile Island in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, where he sent Diddy and Dixie on missions in his Gyrocopter (and in the original version he once more allowed them to use his Barrelplane to fly around the island, but for a fee).
In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie's Double Trouble he ran a vehicle rentals shop. At first the only available vehicle was a motorboat, but Funky unveiled new vehicles as Dixie and Kiddy progressed through the game and brought him new items. By the end of the game Funky had repaired his Hovercraft, constructed a Turbo-Ski and brought out the Gyrocopter for the Kongs' adventuring needs. Once again Funky also assigned Dixie and Kiddy on a series of missions to complete with the vehicles in the GBA version, after which he rewarded them with a Banana Bird.
Funky Kong later opened his own armory in Donkey Kong 64. There he sold fruit guns to the Kongs and upgrades for each weapon. In the ending, Funky also sent K. Rool flying with a boot-gun.
Funky returned in Donkey Konga 3. Funky was later playable in the Jungle Jam mode of DK: King of Swing and the multiplayer mode of DK: Jungle Climber (with Dixie Kong as his partner). He also returned in his roots in Jungle Climber by running a plane service across the various islands. Funky was also an unlockable playable racer in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast with his Kremling rival being Kudge.
Trivia
- Funky is sometimes believed to be the father of Chunky and Kiddy, but this has not been proven.
