In Mario Kart Wii, he took on the more modern, or "funky" style of his career. One thing the cool version of Funky Kong did not have was a huge RPG-7 (missile launcher) slung across his back like the Donkey Kong 64 version of him did.

He also had red sunglasses (nowhere near as cool as his shades now), and an army cap with the same camouflage design as his shirt. He had black combat boots, a dark green, camouflaged tank top shirt with matching pants and an ammunition bandoleer around his waist.


Donkey Kong 64, a game originally for the classic, old-school Nintendo 64, marked him more as a soldier than a hip-hop gangster. Although Funky Kong is mainly associated with his red bandana and cool-looking shades, however, this was not his first depiction in a video game.
