| {{location infobox
| | '''Dino Domain''' is an area found on [[Timber Island]] in the game ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its remake ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. The entrance to this place is located between the two waterfalls in the center of Timber Island, and the player requires one [[Golden Balloon]] to enter it. The race tracks of Dino Domain feature a prehistoric theme, with canyons, fossils, dinosaurs and a volcano. The boss of Dino Domain is [[Tricky the Triceratops]]. |

| The '''Dino Domain''' is the first world of ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|its Nintendo DS version]] and an area of [[Timber's Island]]. The Dino Domain is set in a dry, prehistoric area with [[dinosaur]]s and [[pterodactyl]]s, and most of the courses are in a canyon landscape, which features small lakes and some plant life, specifically grass and pine trees. One of the stages is set in an entirely volcanic region, along with its [[Challenge Level]]. [[Tricky]] is the boss of the Dino Domain. From [[Timber's Island]], the player can enter Dino Domain by driving up a small bridge near the rock of [[Wizpig]]'s head and going into a tunnel carved in a hill; at the end is a large door that requires they have at least one [[Golden Balloon]] to enter. A rainbow is positioned just outside the tunnel, likely resulting from the waterfalls on each side. The Challenge Door is located on the right side, with a small pond just outside it. Like its subsequent worlds, the Dino Domain has a [[Trophy Race]] that the player can enter after they win against Tricky again. Also like in the other worlds, [[T.T.]] walks around the center of the Dino Domain's hub, and the player can bump into him to review their game progress.
| | [[Fossil Canyon]] is a race track in a rugged area with dusty ways and the race takes place at sunset. The level features another dinosaur, but unlike the one from the Anciant Lake, this one will not interfere with the race. About halfway of the track, some ancient ruins can be seen. |

| For courses where two or all three vehicles can be used, vehicles listed in '''bold print''' are the mandated vehicle during Adventure Mode and the Trophy Race, and other vehicles can only be used in a Time Trial or after the course is completed.

| | Like Fossil Canyon, [[Jungle Falls]] takes place in another rugged area. On this track, even more ancient ruins and rock formations can be found. The most prominent feature of this course is the gigantic dinosaur skeleton that surrounds the road near the end of the track. |

| |Ancient Lake is set in a canyon. It has a rocky, gray road with grass patches and trees on the side. The second half of the level features a river and a wandering dinosaur. It occasionally crosses the road and may trample over racers. Ancient Lake has the world's [[Wish Key]], which is needed to unlock the world's Challenge Level, Fire Mountain.

| |
| |Fossil Canyon is a sandy, dusty, and rugged area. Its race takes place during sunset. Another dinosaur appears in the stage, but it remains in the background and does not interfere with the race. Racers drive through a cave at one point, which can either be entered from the usual curved path or from a [[Dash Panel|Zipper]] to shortcut across a lake just outside of the cave.

| |
| |Jungle Falls is set in another rocky, rugged area. The course starts out relatively bumpy from large dinosaur footprints in the road. The path leads to a ditch, with two small waterfalls forming a lake into it. Racers can drive across the ditch from a bridge and some empty ruins just ahead. Racers encounter a large dinosaur skull shortly after they exit the ruins. They can use a Zipper below it to quickly reach the finish line. Jungle Falls is considered the shortest race track of the game.

| |Hot-Top Volcano takes place inside a volcanic cavern. It is the first course where racers use [[plane]]s and cannot use cars. They have to pilot through a cave and even past a large dinosaur from the first two courses. Hot Top Volcano is filled with [[lava]], but it does not effect the racers.

| |The player races against the world boss [[Tricky]] on a racetrack that spirals up a mountain and ends on its summit. The race features rolling boulders, and Tricky may knock over stone pillars that block part of the path. The racer must avoid these pillars or being trampled over by Tricky, both of which slow them down. Tricky provides the racer with part of the [[Wizpig amulet]] after he loses at the rematch.

| |The player can access this Challenge Level after they obtain the [[Wish Key]] in Ancient Lake. It takes place in a volcanic area like Hot Top Volcano. There are four racers, each of whom compete to hatch three eggs first. Racers must attempt to guard their nest, because their opponents attempt to steal an Egg before it hatches. The player receives part of the [[T.T. amulet]] if they win.

| In the DS remake, Fire Mountain was replaced with a short [[Wish Race]] against [[T.T.]] in the Adventure Mode, being playable only in multiplayer.

| | The [[Hot Top Volcano]] track of Dino Domain takes place in a cavernous area with volcanic activity. The course is traversed by [[Plane]]s. Many areas of this track are overrun by lava and the dinosaurs from the first two tracks return, getting in the racers' way on occasion. Though the lava might look menacing, it has actually no influence on the racers. |

| | The boss of Dino Domain is required to be fought two times during the game. The first time after the player won on all tracks, and a second time after all the [[Silver Coin]] challenges are completed. The race itself takes place on a road that spirals it way up a mountain. The player has to beat Tricky the Triceratops in a race to the summit. Along the way, boulders will roll down the mountain that can flatten the racer. Several stone pillars may also collaps and block part of the way. If the player is not careful, Tricky may trample over the racer and slow them down. After the boss is defeated two times, the player receives a part of the [[Wizpig Amulet]]. |

| Dino Domain.png|In-game map of Dino Domain | | After the player collects the key hidden in Dino Domain, they will get access to [[Fire Mountain (Diddy Kong Racing)|Fire Mountain]], where they can obtain a part of the [[T.T. Amulet]]. The challenge of Fire Mountain takes place in a volcanic area. The center of the arena houses eggs that can be picked up by a racer's plane. The racer has to carry the egg to his nest located in one of the four corners of the arena. By doing so, the egg will start to hatch. An unhatched egg can be picked up by an opponent who will take it to his or her own nest. After an egg has spent enough time in a racers nest, it will hatch, meaning that it can no longer be taken by anyone. The player who hatches three eggs first, wins. |
