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.

|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.

|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.
