Funky's Fishing

Funky's Fishing, called Funky Fishing in the Game Boy Color version, is a mini-game run by Funky Kong in both the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance remakes of Donkey Kong Country. In it, Diddy and Donkey Kong must catch certain types of fish, usually Bitesizes of many colors, some Croctopi, and Chomps Jr.s.

Game Boy Color
This mini-game can be accessed from the "Bonus" menu of the selection screen. The minigame involves Donkey Kong riding on Enguarde, and his goal is to reel in as many Bitesizes and Croctopi into a wooden boat before time runs out. He can capture two or more Croctopi or two or more identically colored Bitesizes to raise the mini-game's "KOMBO" and to replenish time. When all the letters of KOMBO is highlighted, a lot of time is replenished and a lot of points are gained. The more Croctopi and Bitesizes are caught, the higher the mini-game's level goes. If the player reaches the third level, empty black and green bottles start to float around in the ocean. Funky, by default, has the highest high score; his score is 15,407,750.

In multiplayer two players compete for the highest score. Unlike Crosshair Cranky, the second player is also Donkey Kong, like the first player is, and not a blue-capped Diddy.

Game Boy Advance
In the Adventure mode, the lead Kong rides on Enguarde while holding a fishing rod. The lead monkey uses the fishing rod to catch things underwater, depending on what Funky requests. Using the D-Pad, the player can lower and higher the hook, wait for enemy(ies) to pass by, and reel it/them into the boat. There is a time bar which slowly decreases over time. By hauling in more than two fish at a time, a "combo" bonus is added along with extra time and bonus points, depending on how big the combo was. Hauling in something that Funky did not request lowers the time bar.

There is a Funky's Fishing chain in every area of Donkey Kong Island, excluding Gangplank Galleon. When the Kongs finish a challenge, they are awarded with a photograph, one given out per completed challenge. If a Kong reels in a rare crab that passes by on the ocean floor, the Kongs recieve a photograph of Funky.

In the Extras menu of the game, a random scenery is chosen upon startup, and the lead monkey has to capture as many enemies possible with a fishing rod before time runs out. The controlled Kong can replenish time by capturing either two or more identically colored Bitesizes, same for other underwater foes. In multiplayer mode two players compete to see who gets the highest score. The more underwater foes caught, the higher the level goes. The gameplay is similar to the Game Boy Color version's.
