It is where he builds his own watercraft, and leases them to the [[Kong]]s free of charge. Funky's Rentals is the first place that [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] visits, and Funky allows her to 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, where the player can either select a vehicle to use on the world map or exit the building. The Motor Boat is the only vehicle available from the menu at first, but few more can be added after the Kongs obtain an essential item that Funky needs to build them. The second vehicle, the [[Hover Craft]], can be built by Funky once the [[Kong]]s have obtained the [[patch (item)|patch]]. The [[Turbo Ski]] can only be constructed once Dixie and Kiddy obtain both [[ski]]s. Lastly, if the Kongs have every [[DK Coin]], Funky will construct his final vehicle, the [[Gyrocopter]].


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.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Funky also houses a caged [[Banana Bird]] that the Kongs can obtain by completing Funky's four [[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 menu no longer appears from a paper scroll, and the vehicles are instead part of a single "Hire boat" option, where the player selects the boat for Dixie and Kiddy to use.


After defeating [[Arich]] in [[Kremwood Forest]], the giant spider will drop a [[Patch (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Patch]]. If Kongs bring the Patch to Funky, he can use it to patch up his [[Hover Craft (DKC3)|Hover Craft]], and let the Kongs use it to explore more areas of the Northern Kremisphere, for it is capable of driving over rocks.

Once the Kongs beat the bosses of [[Cotton-Top Cove]] and [[Mekanos]], they'll acquire two [[Ski (DKC3)|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.

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.

==GBA Mini-games==
===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===
Kremlings come from four angles, and they try to steal different Kongs (Cranky, Donkey, Lanky, Tiny, Diddy, Chunky and 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.

This article is about Funky's location in Donkey Kong Country 3. For a series of minigames in the game's remake, see Funky's Rentals (minigame).

Funky's Rentals, also called the Rental Shop,[1] 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 the Kongs free of charge. Funky's Rentals is the first place that Dixie visits, and Funky allows her to 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, where the player can either select a vehicle to use on the world map or exit the building. The Motor Boat is the only vehicle available from the menu at first, but few more can be added after the Kongs obtain an essential item that Funky needs to build them. The second vehicle, the Hover Craft, can be built by Funky once the Kongs have obtained the patch. The Turbo Ski can only be constructed once Dixie and Kiddy obtain both skis. Lastly, if the Kongs have every DK Coin, Funky will construct his final vehicle, the Gyrocopter.

In the Game Boy Advance version, Funky also houses a caged Banana Bird that the Kongs can obtain by completing Funky's four 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 menu no longer appears from a paper scroll, and the vehicles are instead part of a single "Hire boat" option, where the player selects the boat for Dixie and Kiddy to use.
