The '''Hover Craft''', also spelled '''Hovercraft''', is one of four vehicles that [[Funky Kong]] leases during the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' It is a step up from the [[Motor Boat]], in that it's slightly faster, and more importantly, can drive over rocks in the water.  


Funky Kong is unable to build the Hover Craft due to a hole in one of the parts. If [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] manage to defeat [[Arich]] in [[Kremwood Forest]], the spider drops a [[Patch (item)|Patch]]. By taking this Patch to Funky, he is able to fix up the Hover Craft and allow the [[Kong]]s to use it for their journey, mainly enabling them to reach [[Cotton-Top Cove]] and [[Mekanos]].
Initially, Funky cannot construct the Hover Craft because of a hole in its tube. If the [[Kong]]s retrieve the [[Patch (item)|Patch]] for Funky, he can patch the hole and complete the Hover Craft for them to use. The Hover Craft is used to reach the worlds [[Cotton-Top Cove]] and [[Mekanos]], the [[Brothers Bear]] location [[Bramble's Bungalow]], and the [[Banana Bird Cave]], "Kong Cave".


Once the Kongs recover the [[Ski]]s from the bosses of Cotton-Top Cove and Mekanos, Funky uses them to build the [[Turbo Ski]], which can travel up waterfalls, and serves as the Hover Craft's replacement from thereon out.
In the true ending of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', there is a brief scene where [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] uses the Hover Craft to try and escape from the [[Queen Banana Bird]], who drops an eggshell on him.


In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[remake]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', the Hover Craft is also used in Funky's Protect [[minigame]], where Dixie or Kiddy must prevent [[Kremling]]s from kidnapping members of the Kong family in the middle of a lake.
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Dixie and Kiddy use the Hover Craft during the "Protect" mission of the [[Funky's Rentals (minigame)|Funky's Rentals]] minigame.
 
In the true ending of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', a brief scene of [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] trying to flee in his own Hover Craft, identical to the Kongs', if only slightly larger, will be shown.

The Hover Craft appears to be made from barrel, and it has a large, black floating tube on the bottom. It is an upgrade over the Motor Boat because it moves on the water faster and can travel over rocks. The Hover Craft has a stronger upgrade, Turbo Ski, which can travel up waterfalls.

Initially, Funky cannot construct the Hover Craft because of a hole in its tube. If the Kongs retrieve the Patch for Funky, he can patch the hole and complete the Hover Craft for them to use. The Hover Craft is used to reach the worlds Cotton-Top Cove and Mekanos, the Brothers Bear location Bramble's Bungalow, and the Banana Bird Cave, "Kong Cave".

In the true ending of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, there is a brief scene where Baron K. Roolenstein uses the Hover Craft to try and escape from the Queen Banana Bird, who drops an eggshell on him.
