Funky Kong's most recent appearance.
Funky Kong is a character from the Donkey Kong series. He first made his appearence in the Donkey Kong County series and has been in the series since then. He is usually recognized by wearing a bandana and sunglasses on his head.
In the first Donkey Kong Country, he held a boombox and offered a plane barrel ride to any location you had completed or were currently working on. In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, he rode a flying surfboard, and offered the same service. Finally, in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, he owned a workshop that created a jet ski, hovercraft, motorboat, and one that not many people can achieve. You can achieve this by collecting all the DK coins from the levels.
Also, he did make an appearance in Donkey Kong 64, where he looked more like a drill sergeant than a "funky" guy. He sold weapons to the playable Kong members in this game, such as walnuts, peanuts, coconuts, oranges, and pineapples. He still kept the shades, although he did sport army fatigues this time.
It should also be noted that Funky Kong is a playable character in DK: King of Swing, Donkey Konga 3, DK: Jungle Climber, and Donkey Kong Bongo Blast. He also appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as a trophy.
Funky Kong made his first appearance in a Mario video game with Mario Kart Wii for the Wii, where he was one of three playable Donkey Kong characters, the others being Diddy Kong and, obviously, Donkey Kong. In the game, he, like Donkey Kong, is a heavy weight.
