| | The '''Hover Craft''' is one of four vehicles that [[Funky Kong]] leases during the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. It is a step up from the [[Motor Boat]], in that it's slightly faster, and more importantly, can drive over rocks in the water. |

The Hover Craft is an upgrade over the [[Motor Boat]], being able to move on water faster and travel over rocks. The Hover Craft is not available to use at first because there is a hole in its tube that Funky can only fix with a [[patch (item)|patch]], and the Hover Craft becomes available to use after giving the Patch to Funky. The Hover Craft is required to access the worlds [[Cotton Top Cove]] and [[Mekanos]], the [[Brothers Bear]] location [[Bramble's Bungalow]], and the [[secret cave]], "Kong Cave". The Hovercraft is used by [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] in a brief scene of the true ending, where he uses it to try to escape from the [[Banana Queen]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], the Hover Craft is used in the "Protect" mission of the [[Funky's Rentals (minigame)|Funky's Rentals]] minigame. | |

| Artwork of Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong in the Hover Craft appears on a [[spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
| | Funky Kong is unable to build the Hover Craft due to a hole in one of the parts. If [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] manage to defeat [[Arich]] in [[Kremwood Forest]], the spider will drop a [[Patch]]. By taking this Patch to Funky, he will be able to fix up the Hover Craft and allow the [[Kong]]s to use it for their journey, mainly enabling them to reach [[Cotton-Top Cove]] and [[Mekanos]]. |
