Template:Location-infobox Funky's Flights II is the flight service of Funky Kong in Donkey Kong Country 2 and Donkey Kong Land 2. As its name suggests, this location is a direct successor of Funky's Flights from Donkey Kong Country, because it transports Diddy and Dixie to a previously world or location.

History

Donkey Kong Country 2

In Donkey Kong Country 2, Funky operates a Funky's Flights II in every world except for the Lost World. Like its predecessor, Funky's Flights, it is the only other alternative for Diddy and Dixie to access a world they have previously visited. Funky allows them to do so by renting the Funky Barrel, the successor of the Jumbo Barrel. This sends them to Crocodile Isle's world map, which gives them the ability to select a world and then a level of it. The screen also moves up and down slightly when the Kongs are in the location.

When they first use the Funky Barrel in a world, Diddy and Dixie can use it for free. Funky charges them two Banana Bunch Coins for consecutive uses. Paying to use Funky's Flights II is the most notable change from the original Funky's Flights, where DK and Diddy use it for free. This is similar to when Wrinkly first saves the game progress for free in each world's Kong Kollege but then charges them subsequently.

Funky's Flights II takes place on a giant surfboard, with a wooden shack in the corner. The shack has antennas on its roof and a few objects lying outside such as a tire and a beach ball.

Funky's Flights II was significantly changed in the Game Boy Advance remake. Funky no longer offers flight services but instead hosts a Funky's Flights challenge in each world. His location was updated with a more simplistic look, and Funky was repositioned from the left side of the screen to the right. The redesign makes it more evident of the location's setting on a giant surfboard.

The Kongs have a different way to travel between worlds if the player unlocks the option to select the Gyrocopter (which replaces the original's Funky Barrel) from the world map's Start Button menu. To unlock this option, the Kongs must demonstrate their flight skills to Funky by completing the Funky's Flights challenge of Gangplank Galleon, "Aerial Loop". Afterward, Funky allows them to freely rent the Gyrocopter.

Funky's Flights II has an identical role in Donkey Kong Land 2, though the English localization simply names it "Funky's Flights" on the world map.
