Funky's Flights (Bonus Game)

Funky's Flights is a Bonus Game found exclusively in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2. It can be accessed from the main menu or in Funky's Flights II. The game is optional, although it must be completed to collect all the DK Coins. During the Bonus Game, Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong are challenged to complete a series of missions. Each of these missions involve them using the Gyrocopter to prove to Funky Kong that the heroes can control the helicopter. The apes must ride in the Gyrocopter to move around obstacles and to defeat enemies with it's limited supply of missiles.

Aerial Loop
During this mission, Diddy Kong must ride the Gyrocopter through a bramble-infested area. There are twenty rings in the stage, which he needs to ride through to complete the mission. Bad control of the Gyrocopter can cause the young monkey to crash into the brambles as he tries to move inside of them, and the copter explodes if the life meter runs out. There is also a spider enemy near the end of the stage that shoots webs at Diddy to attack him. If the hero manages to get through all of the rings safely and land on the helipad in less than five minutes, he completes the first mission.

Mission Description
"This is a piece of cake. All you have to do is take off and fly through twenty rings. You can pass through each ring in any direction. Slowly land at the helipad to complete the mission. You have five minutes of fuel. Good luck!"
