In other gamesEdit

Funky Kong is not usually featured as a playable character in most Donkey Kong games, but more of a side character that helps Donkey Kong and friends along the way by giving them new abilities or equipment. One of his most famous appearances was in "Donkey Kong 64" where he sold the five Kongs fruit shooters that would shoot various fruits and foods (with the exception of Tiny Kong's Feather Bow).

Appearance and PersonalityEdit

In older generation games, Funky Kong had a different appearance than the one featured in Mario Kart Wii. Funky Kong was recognized by his blue, green, and brown camouflage muscle shirt and cap. His shades also appeared red, and were divided into two lenses instead of one long lens. Another thing that distinguished him were his large black boots.

In more recent games, Funky Kong wears a white muscle shirt instead of the camouflage outfit. His cap is also replaced with a red, white polka-dotted bandana, and his sweatpants with blue shorts. He is also missing the black boots he was once known for, and took on a new look for his shades.

Unlike Funky Kong's appearance, his personality has stayed the same throughout all games he is featured in. Funky Kong has the personality of a "jock" and uses modern slang such as "dude".
