Funky Kong in the Space World 2000 build, raced alongside ''Super Mario'' characters. Funky was unique among the racers in this build for being the only character to not use a plane, instead riding his surfboard with a rocket engine attached to the underside, allowing it to fly, similar to his hovering surfboard in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. His appearance is similar to his appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' with a purple bandana and swim trunks, and his portrait depicting him with a red polka-dotted bandana.

Funky was the only ''Donkey Kong Country'' character to be cut in the [[Diddy Kong Pilot (2001)|2001 build of the game]], where he appears to have been replaced with Redneck Kong, who was going to be replaced by [[Candy Kong]].
Funky appears in the 2003 iteration of ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|Diddy Kong Pilot]]'' and was a member of Team Kong along with Donkey, Diddy and Dixie Kong. Now riding a silver jet instead of his surfboard and with his polka-dotted bandana visible in his sprites, Funky Kong had similar top speed to DK but lower weight and acceleration. When playing as Team [[Kremling|Krem]], Funky Kong would have been the third boss and would attack the team with machine gun fire and by dropping tornados behind his jet.


Funky returned in the 2003 build of ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|Diddy Kong Pilot]]'' and was a member of Team Kong along with Donkey, Diddy and Dixie Kong.

When playing as Team [[Kremling|Krem]], Funky Kong would have been the third boss and would attack the team with machine gun fire and by dropping tornados behind his jet.
In the final version of this literation, ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Pilot|Banjo-Pilot]]'', Funky's silver jet was recolored yellow and blue to be used by [[jiggywikki:Banjo|Banjo]]. Despite this, [[jiggywikki:Mumbo Jumbo|Mumbo Jumbo]]'s stats closely correlate to Funky's racing stats in the 2003 build than Banjo's stats do.
