| | '''Snowflake Mountain''' is an area found on [[Timber Island]] in the game ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. Snowflake Mountain includes [[Everfrost Peak]], [[Walrus Cove]], [[Snowball Valley]], [[Frosty Village]], and [[Icicle Pyramid]]. It can be accessed by piloting a [[plane]] over a cliff. If the player has collected two or more [[Golden Balloon]]s, the door to the Snowflake Mountain is unlocked. The zone resembles a freezing mountain with a small village at the base. [[Bluey]] the Walrus is the boss of Snowflake Mountain. |

| '''Snowflake Mountain''', also called the '''Snow World''', is the second world of ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|its Nintendo DS version]]. Snowflake Mountain maintains a consistent snow theme, having courses with frozen ponds, giant snowballs, and even a snowy village. Snowflake Mountain's lobby consists of the course doors mounted on the mountain cliffs with the [[Trophy Race]] located in a cavern next to the igloo, which houses [[Bluey Challenge]]. The challenge level is located off to the right of the entrance. The player can enter the world by flying a [[plane]] over a cliff in the snowy region of [[Timber's Island]] hub, but the door to the world requires that they have at least two [[Golden Balloon]]s to enter. The boss of Snowflake Mountain is [[Bluey]].

| |Snowball Valley features large snowballs that can crush racers, and they even become larger from rolling downhill. Its road is slippery and icy. The racers also enter an igloo shortly before the finish line. The player can also find the second [[Wish Key]] in an alcove, located at the end of a trail located directly left of the finish line.

| |Frosty Village begins with a huge downward slope that can be skipped with a Zipper and balloon. After the first cave, the player can turn right for a shortcut. After the second cave, there is water. All three vehicles can be used. It takes place around a village, giving it its name. In the remake, it is easier to take the shortcut.

| |Icicle Pyramid is set in a three-story ice pyramid. Gameplay-wise, it is very similar to the [[:Category:Battle courses|Battle Course]]s of the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. A racer's goal is to simply attack the other racers with from red and green [[Weapon Balloon]]s placed over the stage. A racer loses if hit by an item four times.
| |
|
| |
|
| In the DS remake, Icicle Pyramid, as well as the other Challenge Levels, was replaced with a [[Wish Race]] against T.T. in the Adventure Mode, being playable only in multiplayer.

| | The boss of Snowflake Mountain, [[Bluey the Walrus]], is fought twice in the game. The vehicle used is the hovercraft. The track is snowy and mostly downhill, with tunnels and giant candy canes. Again, there are giant snowballs. However, in the DS remake they are gone and the race is more difficult. The second time Bluey is fought, he is twice as fast. |
