Diddy Kong Racing Trivia Questions
1. How many cheats affect the bananas of the game?

From Quiz "Diddy Kong Racing" for the Nintendo 64

Answer: Four

NOYELLOWSTUFF, BOGUSBANANAS, FREEFRUIT, and VITAMINB are cheats that affect the bananas of the game. NOYELLOWSTUFF eliminates all bananas, BOGUSBANANAS, cause bananas to slow your racer down, FREEFRUIT lets you begin a race with ten bananas, and VITAMINB allows unlimited top speed depending on the number of bananas you receive.

2. In the DS version, which two characters have been taken out from the original N64 game?

From Quiz "Diddy Kong Racing DS" Mixture

Answer: Banjo and Conker

They were taken out due to the fact that Rare is owned by Mircosoft and didn't want those characters appearing back in the game. The replacement characters are Tiny Kong and Dixie Kong.

3. In this course, you need to beat a time of 1:13.00 to unlock TT's ghost, and beat a time of 1:06.41 to beat TT's ghost. Which course is it?

From Quiz TT's Times

Answer: Snowball Valley

This is the third of the courses in Snowflake Mountain and it also contains one of the hidden keys in Adventure mode to play the game Icicle Pyramid. Beating Icicle Pyramid also unlocks a piece of the TT amulet.

4. How many gold balloons are found in Timber's Island, excluding the ones you get from Taj for completing challenges?

From Quiz My "Diddy Kong Racing" Quiz

Answer: Four

One gold balloon is near Dino Domain, another is near the Wizpig statue, and the other two are in Sherbet Island. You can also get three more by beating Taj in his challenges.

5. OK then, you've won all four races in Dino Domain and completed the other tasks; it's time to meet (and beat) the first boss. What species of dinosaur is he?

From Quiz "Diddy Kong Racing": The Bosses

Answer: Triceratops

The triceratops is surprisingly fast and agile for such a big creature, I find the racers with good road-holding, such as Pipsy, do best against him. Don't worry if you are behind him near the end; he slows right down just before the finish as though he wants you to win.

6. What level is the key to "Fire Mountain" found in?

From Quiz Special Tracks of "Diddy Kong Racing"

Answer: Ancient Lake

The key is in plain view from the road. Along the straight long track where the start/finish line is, you can see it on a ramp with a "Rare" symbol on it. All you have to do is drive into it.

7. "Ancient Lake" is chronologically the first track of the game. What can be found in the lake?

From Quiz Tracks of "Diddy Kong Racing"

Answer: A dinosaur

The gentle curves of this track make driving a breeze, it's possible that you could lap most of the characters if you flawlessly hit the zippers around the track and use the boost balloons. In this track, you can find the key that lets you into "Fire Mountain".

8. This racer later appeared in his own games along with an orange bird for a sidekick. Which racer is this?

From Quiz "Diddy Kong Racing" - The Racers

Answer: Banjo

After "Diddy Kong Racing", Banjo later appeared in "Banjo-Kazooie" and "Banjo-Tooie" for the Nintendo 64. In "Diddy Kong Racing", he is a heavyweight rider with good speed, but mediocre handling and acceleration.

9. What do you need to do to get onto Wizpig's Planet?

From Quiz "Diddy Kong Racing" Part 3

Answer: Place first in every trophy challenge

Once you place first in every trophy challenge, you'll need to go down to the billboard near the lighthouse and honk your vehicle's horn. After honking, you'll enter the lighthouse and it will turn into a rocket which will blast you up to Wizpig's Planet.

10. How many balloons are needed to enter "Whale Bay" for the first time?

From Quiz "Diddy Kong Racing" Part 2

Answer: Ten

In chronological order, "Whale Bay" is the first hovercraft race against other players. To enter its silver coin challenge, you need to have seventeen balloons.

11. How many balloons can be found without even completing any tracks?

From Quiz "Diddy Kong Racing" Part 1

Answer: Four

That's right! Before entering the Dino Domain in the very beginning, you can hop into the seat of your plane and fly around to find four balloons. One is at the entrance to Dino Domain, one is out at sea, another is near the waterfalls, and another is nestled between some trees and the giant log.

12. What colour are the keys?

The gold keys open the battle level for the world that it was found in.

From Quiz "Diddy Kong Racing DS" Mixture

Answer: Drumstick, Taj, T.T, Wizpig

To unlock Wizpig, you must complete the second adventure mode. In the second adventure, all of the races are reversed to be mirror races.

16. In this Dragon Forest course, you need to beat 1:46.00 seconds to unlock TT's ghost, and beat a time of 1:40.61 to beat TT's ghost.

From Quiz TT's Times

Answer: Greenwood Village

Answer: Three

In "Fire Mountain", you'll need to fly your plane around a volcano while picking up eggs and dropping them in your nest.

19. How many balloons are needed to enter the silver coin challenge for "Treasure Caves"?

From Quiz More Tracks of "Diddy Kong Racing"

Answer: Twenty-two

"Treasure Caves" has a tricky silver coin challenge that will probably take you at least two laps to complete (if you don't reverse down the course). If you use the airplane option for this track, you will probably be able to go faster through the caves.

20. This tiny character is one of the slowest in the entire game, and she's marked on the driver's radar with a pink marker. Who is this character?

From Quiz "Diddy Kong Racing" - The Racers

Answer: Pipsy

Pipsy the mouse has great handling and acceleration which makes her very good, but she's the slowest character. She can usually rank high because she turns corners sharper and if she hits the zippers and boost balloons right, she can be unstoppable.

21. Entering the cheat code "ROCKETFUEL" will make all balloons which colour?

From Quiz Cheater, Cheater - "Diddy Kong Racing"

Answer: Blue

"ROCKETFUEL" will change all balloons into the blue boost balloons, so it'll be easier for you to coast into first place. "TOXICOFFENDER" makes all balloons green, and "BODYARMOR" makes all balloons yellow.

22. How many balloons are needed to race on the "Spacedust Alley" track?

From Quiz "Diddy Kong Racing" Part 3

Answer: Thirty-nine

From Quiz "Diddy Kong Racing" Part 2

Answer: Three

In the "Crescent Island" and "Whale Bay" tracks, you can go onto the pirate ships, but in "Pirate Lagoon, the ship is lodged on top of a small cliff. The "Whale Bay" pirate ship is considered a shortcut if you drive onto a whales back to get on top of it.

From Quiz "Diddy Kong Racing": The Bosses

You have to win all four races again but collect eight silver coins as you are racing. You then have to beat the triceratops for a second time but the course is made more difficult. The other three bosses present you with similar challenges.

28. How many floors can be found in "Icicle Pyramid"?

29. How many windmills are in "Windmill Plains"?

From Quiz More Tracks of "Diddy Kong Racing"

Answer: Three

If you use the plane in this level, you're bound to race a lot faster than you would in different vehicles. If you use the car, you'll be able to use the zippers in the windmills more efficiently. A good player for this level would be Conker or Bumper because of their handling in the airplane.

30. What is not a feature in "Jungle Falls"?

From Quiz Tracks of "Diddy Kong Racing"

Answer: Pterodactyls flying overhead

"Jungle Falls" is a car racetrack that requires three balloons to enter. Other features of this track include a car tunnel and a plane tunnel if you ever want to use the plane option for this track. If you use the hovercraft for this rack, it will probably be tricky, but you can cut across the pond in front of the start/finish line.
