DKR DS!

Nobody likes a cheater. Except me.

Here are some cheats and magic codes for Diddy Kong Racing (the original). These do not work in the DS version because there are no magic codes in the DS version! There is, however, an Adventure 2, and TT and Drumstick can be unlocked, as well as Taj and Wizpig!

CHEATS AND
TRICKS

Diddy Kong Racing DS
 
Unlock Taj: Complete Adventure 1
Unlock Wizpig: Complete Adventure 2
Unlock TT: Beat TT on every track in Time Trial mode with every vehicle on Single Race mode
Unlock Drumstick: Drag a frog to the top of the frog symbol (to the left of the Wizpig head). A frog with a red thing on its head will jump out. Run over it, and a cutscene will play
 
Jump in hovercraft: Great for tight turning. Press R.
Slide in car: Press and hold R. Don't hold it for too long, or you'll spin out!
Sharp turn in plane: Press and hold R and a direction.
 
Easy money:
Start a new file. Go to the Wizpig panel in the tree trunk tunnel, trace around his face, and get the scratchcard for 10-30 coins. Shake all the trees for 30-60 coins (if a scratchcard falls out of a tree). Trace around the sand dots in a circle 4 times for 40 coins, and connect the points from the 5 rocks around the dots in a pentagon shape to get another scratchcard for 10-30 coins. Go to Wish Race and buy anything except vehicle upgrades. This will grant access to these options in every file, even if you delete the original file you bought them from!
 
Super Boost:
To get an extra boost from a zipper or blue balloon, let go of the gas right before you hit/use it.
 
To get an extra hidden balloon, drag the balloon encased in ice down the hill in the frozen area into the river and it floats to the beach. When you follow it, it will be on the shore by the palm trees. Go up to it and the ice will melt, giving you another balloon.

Partially due to the lack of Diddy Kong Racing fansites and partially due to my love of the original, this site was created on January 14th, 2007 (23 days before the release of DKR DS) in order to provide a fun resource for this fantastic game and to provide a little insight on other things, as well. Enjoy your stay!
