Frosty Village is the fourth and final track of the Snowflake Mountain area of Timber Island, the eighth main race track, and the ninth track overall in Diddy Kong Racing and its Nintendo DS remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS. A minimum of 9 Golden Balloons are required for racing on the course, and 16 for the Silver Coin Challenge (Balloon Touch Challenge in the remake). As its name suggests, Frosty Village takes place in a snowy village downhill, as well as some cave segments. There is also freezing water that bounces racers upward. The car is the default vehicle for this course, but the hovercraft or plane can also be used either upon its completion or during a Time Trial. The official Diddy Kong Racing website suggested racing as Banjo on this track.[1]
Part of the music for this course bears a resemblance to the Christmas song "Winter Wonderland".
Layout[edit]
The track starts with a right hand turn that leads to a viaduct that leads to a hill. At the bottom of the hill is a small village with three houses, and a right hand turn leading into a cave. The cave leads to a winding path, adorned with a lot of lampposts and Christmas trees. At the end of the path is another cave, which leads to a section with a small lake on waterfall on the right side of the track. At the end of this is a small cave that leads back to the track's starting line.
In Diddy Kong Racing DS, several rock spikes were removed from the mid-part of the level. This makes the shortcut slightly easier to take. Fences and more houses and streetlamps are added throughout the track.
