'''Funky's Fishing''', alternatively known as '''Funky Fishing''' in-game in the [[Game Boy Color]] version, is a mini-game hosted by [[Funky Kong]] in both the Game Boy Color and [[Game Boy Advance]] remakes of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.

In the Game Boy Color release, Funky Fishing is an extra mini-game accessible from the "Bonus" menu of the selection screen. [[Donkey Kong]] sits on [[Enguarde]] and fishes off the coast of [[Donkey Kong Island]]. His objective is to reel out [[Bitesize]]s and [[Croctopus]]es and then throw them into a wooden rowboat with his fishing rod to gain points. DK advances to the next level when he surpasses a certain amount of points. Each level becomes progressively more difficult. Funky Fishing features a timer, and gameplay ends when the timer runs out. DK can replenish the timer by reeling in two or more Croctopus or two or more identically colored Bitesizes (either red, blue, green, yellow or its traditional color). He can also reel every one of them in at once. DK replenishes very little of the timer from reeling in individual Croctopus or Bitesizes. The more underwater foes he simultaneously reels in, the more time is regained. There is "KOMBO" meter; one of the letters highlights red, in order, if DK reels in enough identically colored Bitesizes only, and it is possible to highlight more than one letter if enough Bitesizes are caught at once. When every letter of "KOMBO" is highlighted, DK replenishes a lot of the timer, sometimes all of it, and obtains numerous points. Black cans and green bottles start to drift underwater by the third level, and if either is fished in, a portion of the timer is taken away. More trash fills the ocean as the level difficulty increases.

Funky Fishing is also playable in Multiplayer, where it is essentially no different. Here both players compete to reach the highest score. Unlike Crosshair Cranky, both players play as DK, meaning that the second player does not play as a blue-capped Diddy.

If the player gets enough points, they can enter their initials on the hi-score dashboard, which displays the top five results. The scoreboard can also be viewed from the selection menu's "HI-SCORE" option, under "BONUS". Before the player sets a high score, the dashboard shows the top five score, all of which appear from each five Kongs (judging from their initials). Funky appears to have the highest score, while [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] has the lowest.

===''Donkey Kong Country'' (Game Boy Advance)===
[[File:Funkyfishing.png|thumb|left|The mini-game being played from the "Extras" menu]]
Funky's Fishing reappears in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake. It appears in the Adventure mode and the "Extras" menu, where two mini-games are playable from, the other being [[Candy's Dance Studio]]. In the Adventure mode, the mini-game is hosted at [[Funky's Flights]], which itself was renamed to "Funky's Fishing" from the world map. Funky has a unique challenge in each of the six worlds. Donkey Kong and [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] have the option to jump into the [[Fishing Barrel]] to play the challenge or fly to another world with the [[Jumbo Barrel]]. Each challenge has its own scenery based on the world it is in. Bitesizes can appear in red, blue, green, yellow, and most rarely, their normal gameplay colors, ad other aquatic foes such as [[Chomps]], [[Chomps Jr.]], and [[Squidge]]s are also featured alongside Croctopuses and Bitesizes, and all can give kombos.

Unlike the Game Boy Color version, either Kong can ride on Enguarde, based on whoever is the lead Kong, while the other Kong sits in the fishing boat. The lead Kong uses the fishing rod to catch things underwater, depending on what Funky requests. Using the D-Pad, the player can lower and raise the hook, wait for enemies to pass by, and reel one/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 "Kombo" 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.

When Funky's Fishing is selected from the Extras mode, the game randomly selects one of the six background scenery based on the Adventure mode's challenges. The gameplay is similar to the Game Boy Color version's, as the Kongs' goal is to reel in as many underwater enemies before the timer runs out. The controlled Kong can replenish the timer by either capturing two or more identically colored Bitesizes or two or more of the same underwater enemy. The game's level increases when a certain number of points are reached. Funky's Fishing is also playable from Multiplayer, where two players compete for the highest score. This mode features a type of Bitesize that rapidly flashes between the four colors unique to the fishing game, which can make a kombo with any color, including the normal ones. Crabs also make occasional appearances and give large amounts of points when caught, usually leading to an immediate level up; however, they do not give kombos even if the player manages to hook two at once. At first, only red, blue, and flashing Bitesizes appear alongside rare crabs, and as levels are climbed, green, yellow, and normal ones appear along with eventually Squidges. Bottles begin appearing at level 6, marking a point many of the sea creatures disappear other than the starting ones, though they gradually begin appearing again alongside more bottles.

Funky gives a [[photograph]] to the Kong for every challenge they complete. The six photographs collectively take up a [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]] page with a large image of DK and Diddy fishing off Donkey Kong Island's coast. Funky also gives them a photograph of himself if they successfully reel in a crab that sometimes dashes across the ocean floor. The missions are as follows:

|-
|align="center"|[[Kongo Jungle]]
|align="center"|TWENTY RED FISH
|align="center"|''Right on, man. My first challenge is to catch 20 or more of those red fish within the time limit. The more you catch, the better the prize. One thing, though. Don't hook anything but the red ones.''
|-
|align="center"|[[Monkey Mines]]
|align="center"|CROCTOPUS CULL
|align="center"|''This time I would like you to catch 15 Croctopus within the time limit. Be careful not to hook any bottles, as these will reduce your time left. Not good, man!''

|align="center"|CHUMP CHOMPS
|align="center"|''Dude, these waters are full of sharks. Help me clear them out and I'll give you more excellent things. Try to hook ten within the time limit. One thing, though. Don't hook anything but sharks.''
|-
|align="center"|[[Gorilla Glacier]]
|align="center"|SQUIDGEN TIME
|align="center"|''Right, mate, this time you must catch as many Squidges as you can within the time limit. I reckon 50 should be no problem. Get going.''
|-
|align="center"|[[Kremkroc Industries, Inc.]]
|align="center"|OUT WITH THE TRASH
|align="center"|''Bummer, the water is all full of trash. Collect as much as possible within the time limit. The more trash collected, the better my reward. Haul in at least 10 pieces of trash and remember, don't hook any fish!''
|-
|align="center"|[[Chimp Caverns]]
|align="center"|LET'S GO A KOMBO' IN
|align="center"|''Right, dude, this is a tricky one. The timer will start very low. You must try to catch more than one same-colored fish at a time; the more on the hook, the greater the kombo. Once you get a kombo, you will gain more time. Fill the timer to complete the challenge.''

Default high scores are also in the "Extras" mode in Game Boy Advance remake. The scoreboard and points are entirely different, and it now displays which level each Kong stopped at. Like last time, the scoreboard only displays the top five results, and the player can enter their initials on the scoreboard if they manage to at least top the fifth highest score. Their high score placement is based on how many points they get. All of the high scores are significantly smaller, as catching fish does not warrant as many points in the Game Boy Advance remake. Most of the Kongs' initials were redone, except Funky's and Diddy's. Candy's was changed to "CDY", Donkey Kong's initials no longer have a period in the middle, and lastly Cranky's initials were changed to "CKY". The high scores are:
