'''Funky's Rentals''', also called the '''Rental Shop''',<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'' Player's Guide. Page 8. "''Funky is in business with his own Rental Shop!''"</ref> is a rental garage owned by [[Funky Kong]] on the [[Northern Kremisphere]] world map in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. It is where he builds his own watercraft, and leases them to [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] free of charge. It serves as the successor to [[Funky's Flights]] and [[Funky's Flights II]] from the previous two installments.
==Overview==
[[File:Funky's Rentals DKC3 GBA.png|thumb|left|The redesigned location in the Game Boy Advance remake]]
Located in the southern end of the [[Northern Kremisphere]], Funky's Rentals is the first stop that Dixie makes on her journey, as she needs a way to reach [[Lake Orangatanga]]. When Dixie first stops in at Funky's Rentals, Funky agrees to let her borrow his [[Motor Boat]], and gives her Kiddy Kong to babysit.


Funky's Rentals has a dropdown menu on a paper scroll at around the top-left corner of the screen. It gives the player either the option to select a vehicle to use on the Northern Kremisphere world map or exiting from the left without renting one. By default, the Motor Boat is the only vehicle available from the menu, but few more can added after the Kongs obtain an essential item for each vehicle from completing some of the worlds.
Located in the southern end of the [[Northern Kremisphere]], Funky's Rentals is one of the first stops that Dixie Kong will make on her journey, as she will need a way to reach [[Lake Orangatanga]]. When Dixie first stops in at Funky's Rentals, Funky will agree to let her borrow his [[Motor Boat]], in exchange for babysitting Kiddy, whom he will dump in her lap.


Funky can only build his second vehicle, the [[Hover Craft]], after the [[Kong]]s acquire the [[patch (item)|patch]]. His third vehicle, the [[Turbo Ski]], can only be constructed after Dixie and Kiddy obtain both [[ski]]s. Lastly, if the Kongs manage to collect every [[DK Coin]], Funky will construct his final vehicle, the [[Gyrocopter]].
After defeating [[Arich]] in [[Kremwood Forest]], the giant spider will drop a [[Patch (item)|Patch]]. If [[Kong]]s bring the Patch to Funky, he can use it to patch up his [[Hover Craft]], and let the Kongs use it to explore more areas of the Northern Kremisphere, for it is capable of driving over rocks.


In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[remake]], Funky also houses a caged [[Banana Bird]]. In order for the Kongs to earn it, they must complete Funky's four new [[Funky's Rentals (minigame)|minigame challenges]], in order: "Destroy", "Disarm", "Protect", and "Race". The first challenge is available by default, but the other three become available for each new vehicle that Funky constructs. The location interior was redesigned to look less cluttered, and the menu no longer appears from a paper scroll. The vehicle list was condensed into the "Hire boat" option, in which the player can move the Kongs to select from the available docked boats.
Once the Kongs beat the bosses of [[Cotton-Top Cove]] and [[Mekanos]], they'll acquire two [[Ski]]s, one from each boss. By bringing these skis to Funky, he will use them to build the [[Turbo Ski]], which can travel up waterfalls.

If the Kongs manage to collect all forty-one [[DK Coin]]s in the game, Funky will build his [[Gyrocopter]], which the Kongs must use in order to rescue three [[Banana Bird]]s that are otherwise inaccessible.

==Names in other languages==
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[remake]] of the game, Funky Kong also houses a caged [[Banana Bird]] at Funky's Rentals. In order to earn it, the Kongs must beat Funky's four new challenges: Destroy, Disarm, Protect and Race. The only challenge available at the start is the first one; more become available as Funky builds more vehicles.

===Destroy===
The Kongs must destroy ten [[Kremling]] boats before getting to the goal.


===Disarm===
The Kongs must steal four mines from the Kremling base and take them to theirs.
===Protect===
[[File:DKC3GBAFunky%27sRentalsProtect.png|thumb|200px|right|The Protect minigame]]
Kremlings come from four angles, and they try to steal different Kongs ([[Cranky Kong|Cranky]], [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]], [[Lanky Kong|Lanky]], [[Tiny Kong|Tiny]], [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], [[Chunky Kong|Chunky]], [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]], [[Funky Kong|Funky]] and [[Candy Kong|Candy]]) and take them to their bases. Dixie and/or Kiddy must shoot down the Kremling boats before they can take the other Kongs away. If there is at least one Kong left in the water after two minutes have passed, the challenge is considered won.
===Race===
The Kongs must race some Kremlings in their boat. The course is a circle, and there are three laps.
==Trivia==
* The four minigames in the GBA version are structured similar to ''{{wp|Cobra Triangle}}'', an NES game also made by Rare.
