While Diddy is in the jungle, two [[Kremling]]s watch him from behind a boulder. One Kremling, [[Krunch]], suggests they follow Diddy, but the other Kremling ignores him; Krunch eventually follows Diddy Kong. | While Diddy is in the jungle, two [[Kremling]]s watch him from behind a boulder.

Meanwhile, Timber is trying to calm [[Pipsy]], where she exclaims that she had just seen [[Taj]], who said he would help. [[Tiptup|TipTup]], confused, protests that Taj has been missing for 50 years. Afterwards, the group thinks about the Wizpig face that was carved onto the mountainside overnight and the race courses that were magically sealed. The group knows they need to solve the problem before Timber's parents return. [[Bumper (character)|Bumper]] then concludes the conversation by telling his friend that everybody needs to start practicing. Agreeing with Bumper, Timber and his friends leave, hoping that Diddy Kong does not mention this to Timber's parents. | Meanwhile, Timber is trying to calm [[Pipsy]], where she exclaims that she had just seen [[Taj the Genie]], who said he would help.

When the first four worlds are completed, the carving of Wizpig's head on the mountainside opens and allows one of the characters [[Wizpig's First Strike|to race Wizpig]]. After beating him, the group has a party along the beach. However, Wizpig interferes in the party before a spaceship arrives and takes him into space. The lighthouse on the beach transforms into a rocket ship that takes them to [[Future Fun Land]]. | When the first four worlds are completed, the carving of Wizpig's head on the mountainside opens and allows one of the characters [[Wizpig's First Strike|to race Wizpig]].

''Diddy Kong Racing'' features ten playable characters—eight of which are available by default, and two unlockable—and three different types of vehicles for different terrain: [[car]]s for land, [[hovercraft]]s for water or land, and [[plane]]s for air. Each character and vehicle has different strengths and weaknesses, sometimes in combination. For example, [[Krunch]] normally has low steering, but his steering is higher in a hovercraft due to that vehicle's emphasis on weight. | ''Diddy Kong Racing'' features ten playable characters—eight of which are available by default, and two unlockable—and three different types of vehicles for different terrain: [[car]]s for land, [[hovercraft]]s for water or land, and [[plane]]s for air.

In the Adventure mode, the player is placed on [[Timber's Island]] and tasked with collecting [[Golden Balloon]]s to access various challenges. There is a total of five worlds that can be accessed from the main Timber's Island hub, and each has four main racetracks, a [[trophy]] championship, a boss track, and—aside from the last one—a special battle minigame. Different vehicles are sometimes required for different tracks, and the player can change them at any time by speaking with [[Taj]], located in the center of the Timber's Island map. Each of the smaller worlds, meanwhile, instead has [[T.T.]] walking around the hub, and he tells the player's progress when approached. | In the Adventure mode, the player is placed on [[Timber's Island]] and tasked with collecting [[Golden Balloon]]s to access various challenges.

In races, [[banana]]s can be picked up to increase speed, while [[Weapon Balloon]]s provide items to use in the race. The color of the Weapon Balloon determines what item it will be, and collecting multiple of the same color in sequence improves the item's effects by up to a total of three levels. Collecting a balloon of another color cancels it out and replaces it with the new item. | In races, [[banana]]s can be picked up to increase speed, while [[Weapon Balloon]]s provide items to use in the race.

After the player collects enough Golden Balloons in Adventure Mode, Taj will appear and challenge the player to a race in a specific vehicle. The player has to race Taj, who rides a flying carpet. The racetrack is marked with red flags showing the Nintendo 64 logo and the player has to follow them. If they leave the set track by too far a margin, they will be disqualified. After Taj is beaten, he will reward the player with another Golden Balloon. There are three different challenges and each of them can be repeated at any time after they have been unlocked (the player will only obtain one Golden Balloon per challenge however). | After the player collects enough Golden Balloons in Adventure Mode, Taj the Genie will appear and challenge the player to a race in a specific vehicle.

Car Challenge is a relatively easy race done in a car. This race goes around a dirt road right in front of Dino Domain and reaches into a tunnel. This should be very easy for the player because of Taj's slow movement. | Car Challenge is a relatively easy race done in a car.

|Trophies can be gained by placing high enough in a world's [[Trophy Race]], racing through the world's four tracks back-to-back to accumulate the most points. First place earns a golden [[Wizpig]] trophy, second place earns a silver [[Taj]] trophy, and third place earns a bronze [[T.T.]] trophy. Four trophies are needed to access [[Future Fun Land]]. | |Trophies can be gained by placing high enough in a world's [[Trophy Race]], racing through the world's four tracks back-to-back to accumulate the most points.
