''Diddy Kong Racing'' has five bosses, all of which are raced twice. The first four, the Island Guardians, have been enchanted by the final boss, [[Wizpig]], into racing on his behalf. For the Island Guardians, the only difference between the first and second race is a slight increase in difficulty, though Wizpig's races are completely different from each other. Each boss cheats by beginning before the starting countdown ends, with this becoming more and more obvious the further into the game it happens.

|align=center|The first boss, Tricky races the player character up a spiraling mountain. Beyond constantly charging forward and potentially flattening the player, he has no special behavior. [[Boulder]]s occasionally travel down the mountain. In the second race, more boulders as well as falling pillars are added.
|The boss of Snowflake Mountain. He is a large, blue walrus who moves quickly on icy terrain.
|align=center|The second boss, Bluey races on a jagged, icy, downhill ski slope full of trees to act as obstacles. As with Tricky, his only behavior is stampeding forward, though he does not squish the player character. In the second race, a few [[snowball]]s are added as further obstacles.
|align=center|The third boss, Bubbler swims three laps circling the sea around a small island, tossing explosive [[Floating Mine|mine]]s around him. In the second race, he instead launches giant bubbles that can trap the player character.
|align=center|The fourth boss, Smokey runs and flies three laps through a series of caves and fields. He attacks by spitting clouds of hot ash to be ran into. In the second race, he spits much more.

|colspan="2"align=center|The villain of the game, Wizpig is a giant sorcerous pig-man from outer space, an interstellar conqueror, and a racing-obsessed bully. During his race, he runs and floats three laps through a stormy flooded canyon. Once he is defeated, it appears the island is saved. However, he then crashes the victory celebration before taking off in his spaceship, leading to the final world.
|In his second race (as the boss of Future Fun Land), he rides on a giant silver rocket.
|colspan="2"align=center|Wizpig's second race takes place on his homeworld, were he rides on a giant silver rocket three laps around his kingdom. Many obstacles appear here, such as floating asteroids, random laser blasts, attacking spaceships, and giant arcs of electricity. Once he is defeated, his rocket goes out of control and sends him into deep space, stranding him on an asteroid. However, the ending implies he made it back to his ship.
