In the game Donkey Kong Country 3, Funky Kong runs Funky's Rentals in the Northern Kremisphere, near Bazaar's General Store. At the beginning of the game, Dixie Kong must visit Funky in order to pick up her cousin and partner throughout the game, Kiddy Kong, as well as the Motor Boat. As Dixie and Kiddy progress through the game, they can gain various items and give them to Funky, who will use them to create new, more powerful vehicles, such as the Hover Craft and Turbo Ski, for them to use and reach new locations.

Throughout Donkey Kong Country 3, references to Funky working on a secret project are made by the Brothers Bear. If Dixie and Kiddy do bring Funky all the DK Coins obtainable, he will give them his Gyrocopter, which they can use to locate the Banana Bird Queen and her last three children.

In the GBA version of Donkey Kong Country 3, Funky Kong's role is essentially the same as in the original, with the only difference being that he will allow Dixie and Kiddy to play some challenge minigames in his shop after each new vehicle is unlocked. if the Kongs beat all these minigames, Funky will reward them with a Banana Bird.
