Zippers<ref>''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'' instruction booklet. Page 11.</ref> appear in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', which act similarly to how they act in the ''Mario Kart'' series. There are three variants of Zippers, one for each vehicle. Each vehicle's Zipper has a different appearance and are positioned based on the associated terrain. Car Zippers are arrow-shaped panels placed on the ground, the Hovercraft variant is shaped like a triangle, and are located on bodies of water, and the Plane variant is ring-shaped and is located in the air.

All three vehicles can use each Zipper variant. Planes can reach any type of Zipper, Hovercrafts can only use Zippers in water and on the ground, and Cars can only use Zippers on the ground. Zippers sometimes do not appear if a player drives in an unassociated vehicle. Zippers give off a larger boost of speed if the player lets go of the {{button|n64|A}} button before hitting one.
