Funkiki Island is a realm released with the Funkiki Island expansion.
Description
Funkiki Island is a small tropical island located in fresh, open waters, with white, sandy coastlines. The Sol set up a relaxing resort on the southmost shore, while the Nibble have a small wooden pier where they hunt chum and pearls. The middle of the island is made up of a thick forest maze, where the Webley live. The Rewind live closer to the edge of this thicket, near the miniature mountains where the Flurry set up their ski resort using artificial, imported snow. The highest peak of the island features a massive volcano, which is active during the game's story, despite never erupting.
Unlike other zones, there are areas of Funkiki Island that the player cannot access until certain story conditions are met; there are ravenous piranhas that must be fed the Nibble's bucket of chum to pacify, a stream of lava that can only be bypassed with the Flurry's snowman suit, a broken stone path that can be mended with the Webley's web shooter, and a lightless cavern that can be lit with the Sol's sun mask. Each of these small roadblocks protects a colorful coconut item, which is necessary to open the gate to the village of the Natives.
Story
At some point during the Great Disaster, Funkiki Island's Portal exploded, though its resilient yellow Gem did not shatter; it instead flew into the central volcano, agitating the landmass with its unpredictable magic. This event caused the current leader of the island, the Pineapple King, to assume that the volcano god of their people's mythos was angry, and he began to order his tribe to pilfer Coins from indigenous and touring Funkeys alike, hoping to soothe the god's anger with monetary offerings sacrificed to the mouth of the volcano. Jerry, a tourist who was on the island at the time of the disaster, became stranded there, and settled down as a professional beach bum, befriending the Funkey tribes and earning the nickname "Jerry Pearl" due to his expertise at the Nibble's pearl diving game.
When the Funkiki Island portal is regenerated, with its reactivation came the spread of Funkiki Island's Kooties, an insect species that expresses love to Funkeys by slathering them in balls of mud and dust. This is the in-game explanation as to why, from update 2.0 onwards, wandering in any realm will eventually cause grime to build up, requiring the use of a cleaning station to undo.
When U.B. enters Funkiki Island for the first time, Jerry introduces himself and the island's native Funkeys, as well as expressing his concerns about the recent aggression of the Natives. Jerry remarks that because he has no Coins, only coconuts, he does not worry about what the Natives are doing.
For every cumulative score threshold U.B. meets in a tribe's game, that tribe will bestow their treasure upon the player. Jerry congratulates U.B. for the skills required to impress each tribe. The items obtained from each Funkey species can be used to further traverse the island, obtaining the coconut orbs that unseal the locked door to the Native village. There, the Pineapple King demands a golden pineapple as tribute; when found in a coconut tree and delivered to him, the king explains the true reason why his people have been stealing from Funkeys. Jerry and U.B. notice the Gem in the volcano, and, with the use of the four items gained from the Funkey tribes, the Gem is retrieved.
With the Gem recovered, the volcano soothes, and the Pineapple King and his people cease their stealing of Coins. Jerry, learning that the Natives use coconuts as currency, proclaims himself as being rich, as he has hoarded coconuts since his isolation.
