Diddy Kong Racing has sold 4.5 million copies upon release. It even received the Guinness World Record for the fastest-selling game of the time, with 800,000 copies before Christmas 1997. The game was even successful enough to become a Player's Choice title.
Diddy Kong Racing contains twenty race tracks split between five worlds.
Timber's IslandDragon Forest is the fourth world at Timber's Island in Diddy Kong Racing and Diddy Kong Racing DS. The world is mostly medieval-themed full of castles, villages, and windmills.
Wizpig Strikes BackWizpig Strikes Back is the sixth and final boss course and the twenty-sixth and final overall standard course in both Diddy Kong Racing and Diddy Kong Racing DS.
A Trophy Race (also called a Trophy Challenge) is a challenge in Diddy Kong Racing and its remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS. In a Trophy Race, the player(s) must complete a series of four races. Players earn points according to their finishing position in each race.
Future Fun Land does not have its own Challenge Level, and is the only world without one. This world can only be accessed if the player wins all four Trophy Races and won the first race against Wizpig. Afterward, they must head toward a billboard in the beach area of Timber's Island.
Just concentrate on getting at least two of the three blue balloons, avoid hitting walls or arches inside the cave sections, and keep to an inside track as much as possible. The second time around, the dragon becomes a serious challenge. Once again, do not bother with red balloons at all, it's really not worth it.
T.T.T.T. is a living stopwatch who helped organize Time Trials. If players beat his records on every track, he becomes a playable character. He has the best acceleration, great handling, and is the fastest character in the car and hovercraft, and second fastest in the plane.
Wizpig is a gigantic alien pig, and the main villain of Diddy Kong Racing and its Nintendo DS remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS. His name is a portmanteau of "wizard" and "pig".

Initially, four of the Golden Balloons can be found in Timber's Island, allowing the player to access the first world and begin unlocking other courses in both games. Once the player finds these balloons, the only way to earn more Golden Balloons is through winning races against Taj the Genie.
There are 47 balloons to collect in Diddy Kong Racing. Congratulations, you've beat the game!
Hidden BalloonsThe first one is simple; first go to the top of the bridge to Dino Domain.The second one is to the left of the the Wizpig head on a ledge.To get the third one you have to go down the river from the ice place and go to the right on the grass before you're in the ocean.
Diddy Kong Racing Adventure is a rejected video game pitch made by the Climax Group for a Diddy Kong Racing sequel on the Nintendo GameCube around 2004. The project was never announced to the public in any capacity and only became known after an amateur video game archivist acquired the prototype and published a video about it in November 2016.
An earlier document had a similar plot, except for the role of Wizpig being instead filled by a new villain, a white rhino named "Baron von Snort".
Krunch, who would use his jaw to chase down other racers as a special move. Dark versions of Diddy Kong, Pipsy, Bumper and along with others, would have appeared in the game. Dark Pipsy would have a special move which she throws triangular cheese wedges that damage the player either slowing down or lose control.
Dixie Kong and Lanky Kong were also considered to be in the game as playable characters. The team had also hoped to include Banjo and Mumbo Jumbo from Rare's Banjo-Kazooie series. Had a character been unavailable, other members of the Kong Family would have been included to fill spaces as needed.
Proceed to do the races in the only order possible (the amount of balloons you need to enter a track, must be the number you have), and then the Silver Coin Challenge, until you have the maximum 47 balloons that are in the game.
When you beat him, he will award you a piece of the Wizpig Amulet Once you have beaten him again you can now have a go at the Trophy Race, which is where you race all of the tracks at once, in order and depending on where you finish by the end of the race, you accrue points.
The third of the hard to get coins is actually very easy to find, but very hard to get because the angle is so bad. It is infront of a zipper, you will have to make a super sharp left to make it without having the. wall slow you down. Silver Coin Challenge: Windmill Plains. --------------------------------------.

The same rules apply on the Dragon Forest Trophy Race as every other trophy race:#N#You’ll have to try your best in each race in order to achieve the highest score to win.#N#The higher you place in each race, the higher your score will be in the end. The score is still measured as followed:
The same rules apply on the Sherbet Island Trophy Race as every other trophy race:#N#You’ll have to try your best in each race in order to achieve the highest score to win.# N#The higher you place in each race, the higher your score will be in the end. The score is still measured as followed:
After being awarded your 46th golden balloon, you only have one race to go until you’re put up against Wizpig for one final confrontation to beat the game!#N#After you’re spit back out into the lobby drive into Star City for the final coin collection in Diddy Kong Racing.
Jungle Falls is one of the more difficult courses in Dino Domain, it may take a couple laps around the track time and time again to truly master this wild ride!#N#From the start of the race blast forward and sharply turn left to avoid the pool of water in front of you.#N# As you continue down the track you should spot a zipper ahead, turn to the right so you can catch the zipper .#N#Another zipper will greet you at the hill ahead on the right beside another pool, so keep your eyes peeled .#N#Careful up ahead! The bridge is on such an awkward angle that if you take the zipper ahead your liable to end up in the drink!#N#Turn sharply after you’ve used the zipper and collected your blue balloon.#N#Use your blue balloon to burst into the temple entrance, mind the entrance frame!#N#After you’ve maneuvered the short tunnel, you’ll emerge and find yourself out the back.#N#Use the zipper and avoid the giant stone slabs on either side of the track.#N#In the valley you are descending to down below you should spot a giant dinosaur fossil placed oddly in the middle of the track.#N#If you accelerate toward the mouth of the fossil, you should find a zipper inside to which you can use to jet through the rib cage and right toward the finish line!#N#Keep this up for two more laps, though hard, the track will ultimately pay off with another golden balloon!
You’ll find yourself back in Dino Domain with the Ancient Lake door looking a little different…#N#Instead of displaying a number, the door will have a single golden balloon on it.#N#This means that you’ll have completed that specific race and have been rewarded for it.
Future Fun Land is set up a little bit differently than the worlds you’ve faced before; the most obvious difference is the way in which you’ll be able to enter world doors. In previous worlds you were free to try another race if you happened to get stuck, the world doors in Future Fun Land are very specific that you’ll only be able to enter one door at a time until you get access to the next door by beating the previous.#N#At 39 balloons, the only world you’ll be able to enter is Spacedust Alley, so lets get a taste of space and start the race!
Shortly after you start the race and pass through the bunch of balloons, Coin number 1 should be easily spotted on the far right side of the track. Pull off and power slide and it should be a piece of cake to nab!
