Funky operates a Funky's Flights in every world of ''Donkey Kong Country''. It is [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]'s only alternative to accessing a previously-visited world and level without defeating a boss. When the Kongs enter Funky's Flights, Funky lends them his [[Jumbo Barrel]], which transports them to the [[Donkey Kong Island]] map. | Funky operates a Funky's Flights in every world of ''Donkey Kong Country''.

Additionally, in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, a mini-game is hosted at the place, [[Funky's Fishing]], and Funky's Flights was even renamed to "Funky's Fishing" on the world map. While the Kongs can visit Funky to use the Jumbo Barrel, this is not necessary because there is the convenient option of using the world map's new {{button|GBA|Start}} menu to select "Call Funky". | |||

Funky's Flights II has a similar role to its original counterpart, with the biggest difference being that Funky Kong charges Diddy and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] two [[Banana Coin]]s the first time they use his location from a world. | ||

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Funky's Flights makes a cameo appearance in the DK Island subarea of the World of Light, which in itself is a recreation of the [[Kongo Jungle]] world map from ''Donkey Kong Country''. Funky Kong's [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] is fought here and, after defeating it, unlocks Funky Kong's Shack, one of the shops in Spirits mode. Additionally, Funky's Flights' background music, "Funky's Fugue," appears as a song in the game, including in Funky Kong's Shack. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.
