Funky's Flights.

Funky's Flights is a travel service operated by Funky Kong in Donkey Kong Country.

With one airport in every area on Donkey Kong Island, Funky's Flights is the only way for Donkey and Diddy Kong to travel between areas of the island without beating a boss. By dropping in at Funky's nearest hut, Funky will let the two Kongs ride around the island in his Jumbo Barrel, free of charge. However, the Jumbo Barrel is unable to travel to any areas that the Kongs haven't yet visited, thus preventing players from skipping levels. Rather, Funky's Flights merely serves as a bridge between the accessed areas of the island.

Funky reworked his business practice in time for Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2, now offering flight service around Crocodile Isle in his new Funky Barrel. Funky's new service was dubbed Funky's Flights II, but with one catch: Although use of the Funky Barrel was free the first time at every location, for each additional use, Funky charged Diddy and Dixie Kong two Banana Coins per ride.

Its possible Funky's Flights may return in DK Jungle Climber, as both Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have been shown to fly in a plane resembling Funky's Jumbo Jet in early screenshots of the game.

Appearances in Other Media

In the Donkey Kong Country animated series, Funky's Flights was located near the beach and docks of Kongo Bongo Island and had a complex system built into that could raise the entire hut into the air and suspend it there. On the show, Funky's Flights, as well as offering plane rides to people, made deliveries for Bluster's Barrel Works as well. The inside of Funky's Flights was also shown on occasion on the show and, as one would expect a place owned by Funky Kong, was filled with surfer memorabilia, along with other objects like a couch, refrigerator and paintings.
