'''Jungle Falls''' is the third course of [[Dino Domain]] and the third overall track in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. Despite having "jungle" in its title, Jungle Falls takes place in a prehistoric area. It is a circular area with sandy terrain on both sides of the road and a few waterfalls which form some bodies of water. At least three [[Golden Balloon]]s are required for the player's character to access the course, and eight for the [[Silver Coin Challenge]] (or the Balloon Touch Challenge in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake). The standard vehicle for this course is the [[car]], but the player can use either the [[hovercraft]] or [[plane]] either during a [[Time Trial]] or after the course has been completed.

In ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'', Jungle Falls has a different theme. The track no longer has the dinosaur tracks that occupied the start of the track in the [[Nintendo 64]] release.

The course starts with a path that curves around a few ponds. There a some dinosaur tracks across the road. On the outer ledge, players can use a dash panel and grab a few bananas. On the turn to the right, there are red balloons and green balloons. Players can use a dash panel (with a blue balloon near it) behind these balloons. Players drive across a bridge there. If they fall, they must use a ramp to get back into the track. After the bridge, there is a tunnel that is split in two pathways.

Racers can decide which path to take, but only [[Plane]]s can fly through the top one. The bottom tunnel is accessible from any vehicle. The narrow top tunnel is slightly shorter and has a Rainbow Balloon while the bottom one is surrounded by one Yellow Balloon and two Red Balloons. Both tunnels end with a right turn. A single Yellow Balloon is located outside the tunnel exit. After a turn to the right, there is a gentle slope with some Bananas, Red Balloons, and Green Balloons. A large dinosaur skull follows shortly after the slope. It has a [[Dash Panel|Zipper]] underneath, which boosts racers through a narrow path enclosed by rows of skeleton spikes. A [[Weapon Balloon|Rainbow Balloon]] appears behind the last spike rows. The racer must make another quick right turn to reach the finish line.

Like the other courses, Jungle Falls has eight [[Silver Coin]]s scattered in its area in the Silver Coin Challenge of the original version.
