During their adventure, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must collect [[golden feather]]s to increase Expresso's stats, and in turn, boost his performance during races. At times, this is the only way to make Expresso a formidable opponent during races. At [[Cranky's Hut]], the [[Kong]]s must have at least four golden feathers to select the first option, "Cranky's Surprise". [[Cranky Kong]] introduces the game to the Kongs, and they are led to a menu divided into four stats, each having a total of ten bars: Strength, Speed, Flight, and Boost. The Kongs can individually increase each stat with a golden feather. | |||
After completing a race, the Kongs are awarded with a trophy, which is placed on a shelf in Cranky's Hut. The quality of the trophy depends on which place Expresso finishes in (e.g. first place for gold, second for silver, etc.) The Kongs are rewarded with a [[DK Coin|Video Game Hero Coin]] for each race that they win, and a [[photograph]] of [[Cranky Kong]] if they manage to complete every challenge. | |||
==Races== | |||
Every race takes place in a world of [[Crocodile Isle]], and have their own obstacles. Some feathers and boosts also appear; they respectively allow Expresso to temporarily glide through the air and to give a small speed boost. | |||
