After six years of not appearing in games, Funky Kong returns in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' as the owner of the item shop, named [[Funky's Fly 'n' Buy]]. In this way, he replaces [[Cranky Kong]]'s role as the owner of [[Cranky Kong's Shop|a shop]] in the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns|previous installment]] due to the elderly Kong being a playable character. Funky Kong sells various items to the Kongs in exchange for [[Banana Coin]]s, including [[DK Barrel]]s, [[balloon]]s, [[Banana Juice]], [[Squawks the Parrot]], [[Heart Boost]]s, and [[Crash Guard]]s. He also sells collectible toys from the [[Capsule Toy Machine]]. The shop operates on every island in the game except [[Secret Seclusion]]. | After six years of not appearing in games, Funky Kong returns in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' as the owner of the item shop, named [[Funky's Fly 'n' Buy]].

The game's [[Nintendo Switch]] port marks the first time Funky Kong is a playable character in the main series, as he is playable via the new "Funky Mode", which is catered towards beginner players. When selected in "Funky Mode", Funky Kong replaces Donkey Kong as the main playable character. His abilities are a combination of Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky. and are aided by his surfboard and include [[Double Jump|double jumping]], hovering, treading on [[Spike Trap|Spiked Floors]], and surfing on water in a similar fashion to water skipping. He can perform perpetual [[Roll Attack]]s and [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Corkscrews]] as well. In addition, he wears a yellow pair of goggles with a snorkel when he plunges underwater, enabling him to breathe without having to collect [[Bubble|Air Bubbles]]. Lastly, Funky's surfboard enables him to safely jump on enemies that the other Kongs (except Cranky) cannot safely jump on, such as the [[Snaggles]]. He can also perform a [[Ground Pound]] like Donkey Kong, even on spikes. He can also execute the new Pluck move slightly faster than even Donkey Kong can, though unlike the latter, he cannot carry the other Kongs on his back, even in multiplayer. | The game's [[Nintendo Switch]] port marks the first time Funky Kong is a playable character in the main series, as he is playable via the new "Funky Mode", which is catered towards beginner players.

While playing as Funky Kong, his shop, Funky's Fly 'n' Buy, is run by a parrot named [[Tawks]], whose speech purposely mimics Funky. If Funky shops at his store, Tawks gives him an employee discount. | While playing as Funky Kong, his shop, Funky's Fly 'n' Buy, is run by a parrot named [[Tawks]], whose speech purposely mimics Funky.
