In ''Donkey Kong Country'', if [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]] pay a visit to one of the six [[Funky's Flights]] on [[Donkey Kong Island]], Funky will let them ride in his Jumbo Barrel to any area of the island that they've already visited, free of charge. The Jumbo Barrel cannot travel to areas that the [[Kong]]s have not accessed yet, as a means of preventing level-skipping. The Jumbo Barrel is the safer alternative for traveling between worlds rather than defeating a world's boss again.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] port, if the Kongs have visited the Funky's Fishing location at least once, the player can use the Jumbo Barrel at any time by selecting the "Call Funky" option from the world map. The Jumbo Barrel can still be used from within Funky's location. The theme "Funky's Fugue" was also changed, during when the players access his location and use his Jumbo Barrel alike.

The [[Kong]]s also use the Jumbo Barrel for their journey from their jungle to the [[United States of America]] in the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic ''[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]''. Donkey, Diddy, [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]], [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]], and [[Cranky Kong]] all use it at the same time, so the Barrel is cramped and the Kongs are not enjoying their ride; only Donkey Kong stays calm and confident.

In issue 14 of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'', Funky Kong lets Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]] ride the plane. The plane's flight goes awry, however, turning the plane upside-down and dumping the four into the ocean.
