The Gyrocopter is a helicopter owned by Funky Kong in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. It appears to have been made out of barrel parts, and its two propellers are yellow at the tip. In Donkey Kong Country 2 for the Game Boy Advance, Funky owns another Gyrocopter, which replaces the Biplane Barrel from the original version, and it has a yellow body instead of a barrel-like one.
History
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, the Gyrocopter, also known as the Funky-Copter, is the last vehicle that Funky constructs at Funky's Rentals, and is the only vehicle that is capable of aerial travel around the Northern Kremisphere map, allowing Dixie and Kiddy Kong to access any location. In order for Funky to build the Gyrocopter, the Kongs must have obtained every DK Coin. The Gyrocopter is required to access three secret caves — Belcha's Burrow, K's Kache, and Hill-Top Hoard — and to visit the Banana Queen in the clouds. When a location has been selected on the world map, the Gyrocopter does a straight landing, and the Kongs enter that location. Like the other vehicles, the Gyrocopter can move around more quickly if the player holds 
(or 
in the Game Boy Advance remake).
In the original Super Nintendo Entertainment System version, the Gyrocopter is the only vehicle that cannot honk on the world map. Its faster movements are also more noticeable namely because the maps in the Game Boy Advance version are more zoomed in.
Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)
It has been requested that this section be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: add more Funky's Flights II minigame info
In Donkey Kong Country 2, Funky only allows Diddy and Dixie to use the Gyrocopter after they demonstrate their piloting skills completing the Aerial Loop challenge at Gangplank Galleon. Once the Kongs have completed the challenge, the Gyrocopter becomes an available option on the START menu on the world map.
The Gyrocopter is used in every Funky's Flights mission: its two main attacks are dropping bombs and firing bullets. In some challenges, the Gyrocopter can release a grappling hook to hook on to objects such as a Treasure Chest. In every mission, the Gyrocopter has a limited supply of fuel.
In the first ending, when The Flying Krock begins to self-destruct, Funky arrives with the Gyrocopter to rescue Diddy, Dixie, Donkey Kong, and Cranky Kong, who all jump into the Gyrocopter right before The Flying Krock begins its decline. In the second ending, after Diddy and Dixie defeat Kaptain K. Rool in the Lost World, Kaptain K. Rool attempts to escape on a raft (like he did in the original version), but Funky appears and drops a bomb on the raft from the Gyrocopter before Kaptain K. Rool can do so.
