In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', Lanky made a cameo appearance as one of the Kongs who were being held hostage until saved by [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] in one of [[Funky Kong|Funky's]] missions.

Lanky Kong was later captured by [[K. Rool]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' and imprisoned in the Angry Aztec. He remained in this prison until the other Kongs found and saved him. Afterwards Lanky used his abilities to aid [[Donkey Kong]] in his quest to recover all of the [[Golden Banana|Golden Bananas]] and thwart K. Rool. Like the other Kongs, Lanky had his own personal boss battle at one point against Pufftoss. Unlike the other boss battles, this was not a hand-to-hand boss battle, as Lanky drove a small motorboat in battle with the sea monster.
