In Donkey Kong 64, Funky switched jobs yet again to become the munitions expert of the group. He supplied various weaponry and upgrades to the Kongs, and donned camouflage clothing, goggles and a large rocket on his back in favor of his old board shorts and sunglasses.

Funky was also a regular on the Donkey Kong Country TV cartoon, where he was voiced by Damon D'Oliveira. An obvious difference one might notice is that the cartoon version of Funky had tan fur as opposed to the brown fur his video game counterpart had. He was also given a Jamaican accent. However, like his game counterpart, Funky is keen on surfing (although we never see him doing it), and like in the first game, he runs his own airline service. He often talks about karma and is the best dancer on the island. In one episode he took Donkey Kong to the temple of Inca-Dinka Doo to learn how to dance in order to win a contest. Funky is obviously not fond of the adventuring or fighting the Kremlings. Nor is he keen on doing very much work, he often tries to take the easier way out of a situation, or just leave it up to DK and Diddy. Funky is more peace-loving than the other Kong Family members.
