'''Hovercrafts''' are one of the three usable vehicles in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', the other two being [[car]]s and [[plane]]s. Their main attribute is the ability to float across bodies of water, including [[lava]] due to their immunity to burn, and they can jump and go across ice that is too bouncy for cars. The hovercrafts are the default vehicle of those stages, which are the main theme of [[Sherbet Island]]. It is the only hub world where the character drives around in a hovercraft. These vehicles can be driven in every stage, except for some boss fights and battle stages. In the [[Nintendo DS]] remake, players can initiate a [[Rocket Start]] by blowing into the DS's microphone.

In the original ''Diddy Kong Racing'', every character's hovercraft had its own color, just like [[car]]s and [[plane]]s. In ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'', every character's hovercraft is yellow by default, though the player can change its color and add more customization options to it from [[Diddy Kong Racing DS#Taj's Wishes Menu|Taj's Wishes Menu]]. The colors in the original version are as follows:

Hovercrafts are a usable vehicle in every course. However, they are only used as a default vehicle in three courses, two from [[Sherbet Island]] and one from [[Dragon Forest]]. The player races in a hovercraft during two boss races, against [[Bluey the Walrus]] and [[Bubbler the Octopus]]; it is the only vehicle that is not used in a race against [[Wizpig]]. [[Darkwater Beach]] is the only Challenge Level where racers ride in hovercrafts.
