 * "Hi. I'm Funky Kong! See my rad barrels. They're way cool. The Jumbo Barrel can get you around this island in no time. But it only travels to places you have already visited."
 * "The other barrel, the one with the hook, will take you to my most excellent fishing pools."
 * "To choose a barrel, just move underneath it and press the A Button. To exit my hut, just press Right on the Control Pad."
 * "Right, let's get going. Did you know that you can enter the Jumbo Barrel at any time while on the world maps?"
 * "Simply press START and select the icon with my face on it. I'll be there in a flash."
 * "Cool move! You'll like this. I will set a challenge for you to beat. If you are successful, I will reward you with some wicked items."
 * "Here's what you need to do. Use the Control Pad to move Enguarde Left and Right. When you are ready to strike, press the A Button. This will haul the catch from the water. Simply place it in the boat to make it yours."
 * "Right on, man. My first challenge is to catch 20 or more of those red fish within the time limit. The more you catch, the better the prize."
 * "One thing, though. Don't hook anything but the red ones."
 * "Record catch is [number] red fish."
 * "This time I would like you to catch 15 Croctopus within the time limit."
 * "Be careful not to hook any bottles, as those will reduce your time left. Not good, man!"
 * "Record catch is [number] Croctopus."
 * "Dude, these waters are full of sharks. Help me clear them out and I'll give you more excellent things."
 * "Try to hook ten within the time limit. One thing, though. Don't hook anything but sharks."
 * ''"Record catch is [number] Chomps Jr.

 * ''"Record catch is [number] Squidges.
 * "Bummer, the water is all full of trash. Collect as much as possible within the time limit. The more trash collected, the better my reward."
 * "Haul in at least 10 pieces of trash and remember, don't hook any fish!"
 * "Best clean-up is [number] pieces of trash."
 * "Right, dude, this is a tricky one. The timer will start very low. You must try to catch more than one same-colored fish at a time; the more on the hook, the greater the kombo. Once you get a kombo, you will gain more time. Fill the timer to complete the challenge."
 * "Biggest kombo is [number]"
 * "Oh, dear! I think you had better try again."
 * "Well done, dude! Here, take this reward!"

GBA version

 * "Woah! Dude, come in and join me. The waves are excellent."
 * "Wait 'til tomorrow, and we will all go."
 * "Lookin' good, dudes! I'm Funky the main monkey, and my new Funky's Flights can take you anywhere on Crocodile Isle, provided you're already checked it out, of course! Unfortunately, I'm overrun with business at the moment, so I'm far too bust to help you guys out. Don't worry, though. I'm sure we can come to some arrangement."
 * "I know! I will lend you one of my copters, but only if you can prove you can fly it."
 * "Cruise on over and jump in the barrel, man. Go ride the skies!"
 * "Right, dudes, listen up. This is how you fly. Use the to steer the Gyrocopter."
 * "Pressing the button will fire the main fun. Have you got all that?"
 * "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!"
 * "Awesome, guys. You sure got the hang of flying."
 * "You are now free to use the copter whenever you need it. Just access your inventory by pressing START and choose Gyrocopter."
 * "One more thing. I could use a good pilot."
 * "Come back to see me. I have plenty of jobs on the go."
 * "Here, take this. Many thanks, guys."
 * "What happened, dudes? You bailed before the mission was completed. I think you need to try again."
 * "I think I'll catch some rays now!"
 * "Woah, dude, you back again? I have just the job for you, but you must learn to fly using advanced controls."
 * "Pressing the button will lock your facing direction, allowing you to shoot while moving backwards. Pressing the  button will make the copter face forward; useful in tight situations. One thing, though. While in this mode, you can only drop bombs."
 * "I need you to take a chest to the second landing zone. There is one problem. The way ahead is flooded. The Gyrocopter can only hold so much air, so keep a close eye on the gauge in the bottom right corner of the screen. Press SELECT to release the winch; it will automatically hook onto the chest. Press SELECT again to retract the winch. One more thing. You'll need to pick up some ammo packs and blast your way through any blockages."
 * "This is a long-haul mission. I have filled her up to the max. You have ten minutes of flyin' time. Don't waste it."
 * "Not cool, dude!"
 * "Ouch!"
 * "Cool, dude!"
 * "Well done, guys. You did it. The chest is still in one piece."
 * "Thanks for your help. Take this Hero Coin."
 * "Back again? This mission is quite tricky."
 * ''"The Kremlings have destroyed the DK statue. Find the pieces and reconstruct it. To hook a statue piece, press SELECT to release the winch. Pressing SELECT again will drop off anything on the rope. One more thing. Keep a close eye on any statue pieces rebuilt, as they might go missing. You have five minutes of fuel, so get going.
 * "Wow! You sure know how to handle that old bird."
 * "Here is your reward."
 * "Come on, dudes, I need your help."
 * "Zingers have attacked Kong Island and kidnapped members of the Kong family. Go and rescue them. To pick up a passenger, land beside them and they will jump right in. Once they're on board, take them back to the helipad. You must rescue six hostages to complete this mission. She's all gassed up and ready to go. You have five minutes flying time."
 * "Well done. Take this Hero Coin as a small reward."
 * "Hey, man, I'm glad you're back. I need your help."
 * "I have dropped my ghetto blaster in the icy water below. Go and get it for me. Shoot the buttons hanging on the wall to lower the water. You only have three minutes of juice, so you better get going, dude!"
 * "Well done! I can now listen to the DK rap all night long."
 * "Here is your reward."
 * "Back again! Ready to hit the skies again?"
 * "The Kongs have been out exploring but have got themselves trapped. Go and rescue them. Raise and lower the water level using the buttons mounted on the walls. I didn't have time to fill her up. You only have three minutes flying time."
 * "Well done, guys. Take this as your reward."
 * "So, dude, think you're a pro pilot now, do you?"
 * "Rebuild the DK statue, but beware of entering the toxic waste. The Gyrocopter will explode with the slightest touch of that green filth. Use the buttons on the walls to lower the waste, then nip in and retrieve the statue parts."
 * "Nice flying! I thought you'd struggle with that mission. Here, take this."
 * "You guys sure know how to fly my old bird. Here, take this photo as a token of my appreciation."
 * "Hey, man! You have already completed this mission. I'm not paying you twice."
 * "You did get a new best time, though!"

 * "Yo, Dixie, what's happening? I've set up my smokin' new boat shop on this island. But that's not all..."
 * "...I've also brought your excellent cousin Kiddy Kong along for the ride!"
 * "He may be a toddler, but if you let him throw you upwards, you'll almost reach the stars! Oh yeah!"
 * "And if you throw him, his humongous body can smash through the floor of some areas! Trust me!"
 * "What's up! Have you got me anything new I can use?"
 * "Hey hey, Funky's in the zone! Cash is not a problem, Kongs, 'cause my boats you can loan."
 * "I'm the tower of power, too sweet to be sour! Yo, Kongs, got anything new yet?"
 * "Hey, Kiddy, take a break and catch some rays -- know what I mean?"
 * "Since moving into this place, I've become a real grease monkey!"
 * "I'm just hanging out today. Watching the ships come in, and then going out again!"
 * "Cool and the gang, Kiddy! How's it going today?"
 * "If you see that loser up at the big house, tell him to keep it down at night. I've got to get my beauty sleep!"
 * "Any idea who that major dweeb who lives at the top of the island is?"
 * "Oh yeah! Everything is whistlin', Kiddy!"
 * "The guy in the big house is most uncool! If I were you, Dixie, I'd keep well away!"
 * "Hey, those heinous boss men have got a hoard of items. If you find anything, bring it on back here, huh?"
 * "Freak out! Freak out! Spare parts for my boats are what it's all about."
 * "Uh uh. Yeah! What we're needing is some sort of spare part situation, you dig?"
 * "Wicked! I only need a few more parts to get my vehicles going."
 * "Keep looking out for those items, Kongs. I'm a few parts short for my new invention!"
 * "Cool, dudes! I knew you'd be up for it. Right, here's what you need to do. Those Kremlings have cluttered up all my shortcuts downriver. Why don't you see if you can blast their scaly butts out of the water?"
 * "Use the +Control Pad to steer your boat, the B Button to accelerate, and the A Button to fire your gun."
 * "Destroy 10 and I'll reward you big-time!"
 * "Oh dear, what happened, dudes? You need to try harder."
 * "You sure showed those Kremlings. Here, take these as a small reward."
 * "A patch? Oh yeah! This is just what I needed!"
 * "Right, dudes, you ready for this? You need to steal the floating mines from the Kremlings before they can cause mayhem. They won't be happy about it, so expect a chase! Use your excellent steering skills to bring the mines across the safety zone marked with buoys."
 * "Well done, dudes, you have cleared the river of those blasted mines. Here, take your reward."
 * "Hang on for just a couple of seconds, Dixie/Kiddy/Kongs, and I'll get you a cool new tub for you to rub a dub dub!"
 * "Whoa! Bogus docking, Kongs! Get my crate back in here before that clumsy Bazaar parks it on the rocks!"
 * "Hey, Kongs - a ski! Not toooo shabby!"
 * "Problem is, though, I'm going to need its partner before I can get you on your way."
 * "Wahay! You've found two skis! Awesome! Now I've now got all the parts I need to make the ultimate ride!"
 * "Wait right there, Dixie/Kiddy/Kongs, while I bring you my latest and greatest boat yet!"
 * "Bonkers! I've built in a cool turbo feature that'll be sure to take you to new heights! Just press the B button!"
 * "Ready for some Hovercraft action? All the Kongs have decided to go swimming... right outside the Kremling stronghold. Duh. Defend them from the Kremling kidnappers until help arrives! You gotta have at least one Kong left to complete the challenge."
 * "Yo, dudes, the Kong family is back safely. Here, take these."
 * "Hey! Someone's told you I've been extra busy lately. Well...it's something a bit special."
 * "If you can find all the DK coins, you can put them down as a deposit on my ultimate ride. Come back when you've got some more, Dixie/Kiddy/Kongs! I'll keep you informed on how close to the jackpot you are."
 * "You're still 1-40 coin(s) short of the deposit for my top gear!"
 * "Unbelievable type of a situation! You've found all of the DK coins!"
 * "I'm sorry, Dixie/Kiddy/Kongs, I didn't think you'd actually find them all, so I've got nothing new to show you!"
 * "Hey, Dixie/Kiddy/Kongs, just kidding, you know? May I introduce you to my finest and coolest creation yet, the Funky-Copter!"
 * "Back again? Radical. This time you need to use the Turbo Ski to beat your opponents to the finish line. Do three laps of the track to complete the challenge!"
 * "Yo, dudes, you flew around that track. Here, take these."
 * "Well done, dudes! You have passed all my challenges."
 * "Here, take this strange-looking bird. I am sure it will come in useful."
 * "Time to catch some rays."
 * "Don't stay away for too long, huh?"
 * "Bust a move, gotta groove!"
 * "Gotta go, Kongs. Surf's up."
 * "Take it real easy, Kongs."
 * "Hang five, Kongs."
 * "Catch you later, Dixie/Kiddy/Kongs."
 * "I'll be seein' ya later, Kongs."
