| This track requires all racers to use [[hovercraft]]s, as it takes place mostly on water. It also features a long tunnel near the beginning, which consists of one sharp turn at its entrance. Besides that, the level's main obstacles are its many twists and turns, which racers must try not to speed around if they do not want to lose control. There is also ramp near the end of the track to skip driving around a wall. | | This track requires all racers to use [[hovercraft]]s, as it takes place almost completely on water. It also features a long tunnel near the beginning, which consists of one sharp turn at its entrance. Besides that, the level's main obstacles are its many twists and turns, which racers must try not to speed around if they do not want to lose control. The hovercraft is likely to cause trouble on the turns, as it is considered to be the hardest to control out of the other two types of vehicles, the [[car]] and the [[plane]]. There is also ramp near the end of the track to skip driving around a wall. |

| In the N64 version of the game, this track has the same music as [[Treasure Caves]]. The DS version has its music replaced, in addition as Treasure Caves, making it the only composition to not return in the DS version.
| | ==Track Layout== |
| | The track begins with a strait pathway into a tunnel. On the other end of the tunnel are several small sections of land sticking out of the water. Racers can find items in this area, although they will have to beware of the few palm trees growing on the islands. A [[Zipper]] is also present around here, and it can help [[Diddy Kong]] and other racers get an extra speed boost. The track curves as it stretches to a long, crescent shaped island. Racers should ride around the end of the large wall to their left at this point to enter a large, open area. This area simply consists of a lone Zipper and a tunnel at the end of it. [[Item Balloon]]s can be found at the tunnel's entrance, where racers should be careful, as a sharp turn can be found at its entrance as well. The other end of this obstacle-free tunnel features another Zipper on a rather narrow pathway. Racers can use it, as usual, to get an extra boost in speed. At this point, a few rocks can be found around the area, creating a few walls. The players must maneuver around them and make a sharp U turn around a sunken ship. After that, the track becomes less rocky, having a mostly-strait pathway to another turn. As racers approach this part, they will find a few sections of land above the water and a palm tree to move around. Near the stage's end, the eight drivers must curve around a large, rock wall. A small ramp nearby can help players ride over this wall as a shortcut. Finally, the track ends with another strait pathway leading across the finish line. |

| 13 [[Golden Balloon]]s is the minimum total needed to unlock this course, and to compete in the [[Silver Coin Challenge]] (or Balloon Touch Challenge in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake), the total needed to reenter the course increases to 18. The official ''Diddy Kong Racing'' website suggested racing as Bumper on this track.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19981207021951/http://www.dkr.com/pirate.html ''Diddy Kong Racing'' website (Pirate Lagoon)]</ref>

| | {{DKRCourse}} |
| The track begins as the racers drive under an overhang. Then, there is a land patch with two blue [[Weapon Balloon]]s in the interior and three red Item Balloons in the exterior. There is also a hovercraft dash panel and a few more land patches that make the path bumpy. Soon, racers make a u-turn to the left that contain several item balloons. On the long straight, there are a few [[banana]]s on the far right.

| In the entrance of the castle, there is a yellow balloon on the left and a blue balloon on the right. Inside the castle, when players make a sharp turn left, is a short corridor consisting of two bananas on each side. After a sharp turn to the right, there is a dash panel on the left. Soon, after the curve to the right, players perform a u-turn to the left, and there are a few balloons. Players can then take a dash panel to leap over a landmark (which contains a blue balloon midair, cutting the course, or drive around it. Then, they complete a lap.{{br}}
