| '''Icicle Pyramid''' is the challenge level in [[Snowflake Mountain]] in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. It is available after being unlocked, but in the Nintendo DS remake, it can only be played in multiplayer mode. The stage can be unlocked by obtaining the [[Wish Key]] in [[Snowball Valley]] in the original game and by 30 [[Coin (Diddy Kong Racing DS)|coins]] in the Nintendo DS version. | | '''Icicle Pyramid''' is an area of [[Timber Island]] in the game ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. In the [[Nintendo 64]] classic, this battle stage is available after being unlocked, but in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake, it can only be played in multiplayer mode. During gameplay, the racer tries to strike down his/her rivals with items in a huge ice pyramid of three stories. If the racer gets hit four times, he/she is out and loses. The last player standing is crowned as the winner. |

| During gameplay, racers try to strike down their rivals with items in a ice pyramid of three stories. Every racer's health is represented by [[banana]]s; they start out with eight of them, and each hit takes away two of them. This means that if a racer gets hit four times, they are out. The last player remaining is the winner. In the Nintendo DS version the bananas are replaced by four balloons, with one being lost to each hit.
| | As noted before, the pyramid is three stories high. A long tunnel fills the perimeter of the bottom floor. Outside of this tunnel is a large, open area, designed for the players to pass through each tunnel, grab items, or simply ride up to the second floor. The second floor is where the racers begin their battle. This floor is made up of a tunnel around the perimeter of the area, just like the first floor. In the center, [[Diddy Kong]] and other racers can drive their vehicles along a solid ice platform to grab several balloons, which will turn into items when popped. If they fall into the edges of the ice, they will land down into the center of the first floor. The highest floor, the third floor, is located at the top of the pyramid. This small area can be reached by taking a curvy route on the outside of the second floor. Here, the racers can find very little things, only a few item balloons and possibly some refuge. A thin road stretches along the perimeter of this area, and in the center, is a large, gaping hole. If this is fallen into, the player will land down onto the second floor, or possibly the first floor. |

| Racers start the battle on the second floor, which is made up of a tunnel around the perimeter of the area. In the center, racers can drive their vehicles along a solid ice platform to grab [[Weapon Balloon]]s. If racers fall into the edges of the ice, they will land down into the center of the first floor.
| |
| | |
| The bottom floor, like the second floor, also has a long tunnel that fills the perimeter of the area. Outside of this tunnel is a large, open area for racers to pass through each tunnel, grab items, or drive back up to the second floor.
| |
| | |
| The third floor is a small area at the top of the pyramid, and it only has a few [[Weapon Balloon]]s. It can be reached by taking a curvy route on the outside of the second floor. A thin road stretches along the perimeter of the third floor, and in the center, is a large, gaping hole. Racers that fall down it are taken to the second floor, or possibly the first floor.

| In the Nintendo DS remake, each racer starts the battle in a tunnel on the bottom floor.
