Diddy Kong Racing

Take off Into Space

To get to Space World, which is the hidden fifth world in the game, you must get all trophies and all amulets. Then go to the sign by the lighthouse and honk at it. The lighthouse will transform into a rocket and take you into space.

Activate "Drumstick" Character

Once you get all of the trophies and amulets, go to the Central Area. The Central Area is the place from which all other zones are accessed. In this area, you should notice a bunch of little frogs hopping around near the edge of the water. Take your vehicle and drive over to them. Look at them carefully. One of them will have rooster head feathers. If you carefully touch that frog, Drumstick will pop out! Apparently he had been turned into a frog by Wizpig.

To peice together the Whole wizpig amulet you must race and beat each world boss twice plus collect all of the silver coins!!

T.T. Amulet

To Get a Full T.T. Amulet you have to collect the keys to the challenge levels in all of the 4 worlds. The 1st one is in Ancient lake. Then the 2nd is in Snowball valley. Then the 3rd is in Crescent Island. The 4th is in Boulder canyon. Once you have found and completed the T.T. Challenge levels you can race Wizpig in the Fifth world.

Adventure Two

After completing the entire first quest (getting all balloons, amulets, trophies; beating all worlds, levels and challenges, including hidden ones; etc.), "Adventure Two" will appear as an option on the main menu. Some of the changes in Adventure Two are that the Golden Balloons are now Silver Balloons, all of the tracks are mirrored, and the computer opponents are at least two times more difficult.

Play as TT the Clock

TT the Clock is a playable character! To play as him you must beat him in time trials on EVERY race. He is the BEST playable character in the game!

Super Turbo Boosts

When going through a speed ring (in a plane), a speed pyramid (in a hovercraft or plane), or over a zipper (in a car, hovercraft, or grounded plane), let your finger off of the accelerator before you hit it and you will get a green boost, which is better than the normal purple. The same rule applies when using a single, double, or triple turbo balloon; let off the accelerator. Also, when the announcer says "Get Ready", depending on when you press the accelerator button, you will get a red (weak), blue (strong), or no turbo boost.

Tricky Trick in Greenwood Village

When you reach the hanging bell, turn over.(facing the wrong way) Look at the other players screen box. Right before the other player reaches the draw bridge, hit the bell. The bridge will rise while the other player will fall into the river, then leave the other player there and leave. It will give you a head start while the other player is still stuck in the river.

T.T. Times

You must go to tracks, and turn Time Trials on. Then you must beat a certain time (not the DKR time) in the vehicle used in the regular game mode. (Example : Hot Top volcano : Use the plane, not the hovercraft) Beat the time, and you should race T.T.'s ghost. Beat his ghost in every level and you will get him as a playable character. Here are the times.

Flying Glitch

In the beginning of the game,go to the options screen and go to magic codes. Enter the code "Freeforall, "which will give you maximum power up for the balloons. Then go to tracks and go to Icycle Pyramid.Go and get a green balloon which will give you a bubble. Then go to the path where there is a curved road with walls in the side which will lead you to the top of the pyramid.Stop until you see a smooth, icy path. Go close to the end of the curved road. You will see like a line separating the curved path and the smooth, icy path. Don't go past that line. Once you're kind of close to the line, lay your bubble and go on it. You will float and land on an invisible road. The road isn't very long though.
