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, 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.
