'''Crescent Island''' is the second course of [[Sherbet Island]], the tenth main race track, and the twelfth overall track in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. The player needs a minimum total of 11 [[Golden Balloon]]s to open this course, and later 18 to compete in the [[Silver Coin Challenge]] (or Balloon Touch Challenge in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake). The [[car]] is the default vehicle for this course, but upon its completion or during a [[Time Trial]], the [[hovercraft]] can be used. This track is also seen in the intro, where Conker drives happily hands-free and Tiptup accidentally loses control, both in cars. The official ''Diddy Kong Racing'' website suggested racing as Diddy on this track.<ref>{{cite|archive=web.archive.org/web/19981203024121/http://www.dkr.com/crescent.html|title=Crescent Island|publisher=dkr.com|accessdate=April 19, 2023|deadlink=y}}</ref>

Further ahead is a pirate ship, where players can either drive directly through it, or they can enter an opening on top of it and continue onwards. There are bananas on the right, before the entrance on the pirate ship. Also, if players have a [[hovercraft]], they can take a shortcut by riding around the ship, instead of going on it. Near the end of the track is another shortcut where players must take a sharp right to achieve without crashing into a sandy spike in the ground.

A [[Wish Key]] is also in this course. To find it, players must go left into the ocean in at the first fork in the road. An X mark can be seen on the wall with the key under it. The key allows players to play at the challenge level, [[Darkwater Beach]].

In the [[Nintendo DS]] remake, the track is mainly the same. However, the key is found in a different location to the original. It is to the left after players finish the first fork in the road. The [[Nintendo 64]] logo on the ship's middle sail has been changed to an icon of [[Diddy Kong]].
