A '''Power-Up Token'''{{ref needed}} is an [[List of items|item]] in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. They are small, white, octagonal [[coin]]s surrounded by two blue borders, and have a yellow-orange arrow in the center. They appear in every course, and are used to upgrade the player character's current weapon. When one is collected, the coin is pictured in the corner of the screen. If the player hits the X button while in possession of a Power-Up Token, any standard weapon they are holding is upgraded. Power-Up Tokens grant the following upgrades, each having their own effect, depending on which [[Weapon Balloon]] they touched the most recently:
A '''Power-Up Token''' is a special type of item found exclusively in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. They appear as small, white, octagonal [[coin]]s with a blue border around them, as well as a brightly colored arrow in their centers. These common objects are found in every course in the game. However, because they are so valuable compared to other items, they are often hidden in hard-to-reach areas. When one is collected, the coin is pictured in the corner of the screen. If the player hits the X button while in possession of a Power-Up Token, any standard weapon they are holding is greatly upgraded and turns into a special item. The item depends on the type of [[Item Balloon]] touched previously.
