Although Funky Kong features a good speed bonus, it is not as good as that of [[Baby Luigi]] and [[Baby Daisy]]. However, being a large-sized racer, Funky can use the [[Jetsetter]] and [[Spear]], which are the fastest kart and bike in the game, respectively.

Some of Funky Kong's voice clips from ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'' are reused for his voice in this game.

Additionally, Donkey Kong has a similar in-game model to Funky Kong in the game, with them also using many similar animations.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Mario_Kart_Wii/Unused_Bones_%26_Animations TCRF], retrieved March 13, 2024</ref>

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). [https://youtu.be/BiJ7IoeuhXE Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass Wave 6 - Nintendo Switch 9.14.2023]. ''YouTube''. 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. During the majority of his [[Jump Boost]] animations and his character selection animation, Funky Kong will pull out his surfboard and show it off.

''Donkey Kong 64'' has Funky radically change his attire once again, with him wearing a navy blue camouflage print attire and army hat, black combat boots and red teashades. He is noticeably more muscular then DK, though not as burly as [[Chunky Kong]].

More recently, Funky's appearance has remained consistent, being identical to his attire from ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', with his tool belt being replaced by a regular one and no boots.

While Funky's bandanna has always been red with white polka dots in official artwork, in-game sprites depicted it as purple in the first two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games and solid red in the third. ''DK: King of Swing'' introduced Funky's modern design, and it is the first game where Funky has a polka-dot bandanna.

''"The coolest ape in the world has once again changed his occupation. Some time ago he discovered his predilection for weapons technology. He has succeeded in transforming harmless tropical fruit and colorful feathers into effective projectiles. Switches that are located outside the range of the Kongs or that cannot be activated even using all of one's body strength no longer pose a problem due to the use of these special weapons. The integrated target functions and the add-on target-searching-ammunition make the weapons an indispensable aid in the search for the golden bananas. Funky also offers, as a further service, refilling of the ammunition supply. The weapons and their extensions, however, cannot be had for nothing. But Funky always has especially low prices for his friends."''
