Funky Kong: Difference between revisions

Funky Kong appears as one of four new racers in the sixth and final wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC, alongside [[Diddy Kong]], [[Pauline]], and [[Peachette]]. His model is reused from ''Mario Kart Tour''.<ref name=Wave6>Nintendo of America (September 14, 2023).

Retrieved September 14, 2023.</ref> He is again a heavyweight character in this game, sharing statistics with [[Wario]], [[Dry Bowser]], and heavy [[Mii]]s. Funky Kong uses the turquoise [[Peach Parasol (glider)|Peach Parasol]] glider, making him and [[Kamek]] the only male characters (not counting [[Wiggler]], whose gender is unknown) to use a recolor of the glider. He also uses a red [[Super Glider]] instead of a light-blue one like in ''Mario Kart Tour'', making him the only character whose Super Glider color does not match their main vehicle color, with the red color making it instead resemble the pattern on his surfboard. During the majority of his [[Jump Boost]] animations and his character selection animation, Funky Kong will pull out his surfboard and show it off.
