'''Tricky the Triceratops''' is a large triceratops and and the first boss of ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its [[Nintendo DS]] remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. He is located in [[Dino Domain]], where the player races him on [[Tricky's Course|his own course]], which is a spiraling mountain.
'''Tricky''' is a large triceratops and the first boss of ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|its Nintendo DS version]]. Tricky is not inherently a villain, since he was brainwashed by [[Wizpig]] into becoming one of his servants and given the first piece of the [[Wizpig amulet]] to guard. Tricky's body is red with yellow stripes on his back, and his eyes are yellow with red irises and black pupils.


During the game's events, Tricky is located in [[Dino Domain]], on [[Tricky Challenge|his own course]], where the player can race him after winning every other course in the world. Tricky and the player race up a spiraling mountain, and there are red and blue [[Weapon Balloon]]s to help the player against Tricky. The player must avoid running into Tricky, who squishes and therefore slows them down. The player wins the race if they cross the [[Finish line (object)|finish line]] at the very top of the mountain first. Tricky then challenges the player to complete every [[Silver Coin|Silver Coin Challenge]] (or [[Balloon Touch Challenge]] in the remake) in the world, then by doing so, the player can race Tricky again in a harder rematch. In the rematch, Tricky races at a faster speed, so the player has to use Weapon Balloons to win the rematch. After losing again, Tricky is somehow liberated from Wizpig's spell, and awards the racer with his piece of the Wizpig amulet. Much later, in the ending cinematic, Tricky is seen dancing with two younger triceratops, colored yellow and pink respectively.
== History ==
[[File:Tricky's Course DKR.png|thumb|left|Race against Tricky.]]
Prior to the events of ''Diddy Kong Racing'', Tricky was brainwashed by [[Wizpig]] into becoming one of his servants. He was provided with the first [[Wizpig Amulet]] piece to guard.


Tricky's only other appearance is in the ''[[4koma Gag Battle]]'' adaptation of ''Diddy Kong Racing''.
After winning at each racetrack of Dino Domain, the boss door opens, and the player can race Tricky. In the stage, the spiraling mountain gradually turns left. Red and blue [[Weapon Balloon]]s are scattered throughout the course, which the racer can use against Tricky. The player must avoid running into Tricky, who squishes them, and in result slows them down. The player wins the race if they cross the finishing line at the very top of the mountain first.


Once Tricky is defeated, he challenges the racer to complete each racetrack's [[Silver Coin]] challenge (or [[Balloon Touch Challenge]] in the remake). By completing them, the player can race Tricky again. As with the other boss battles, the rematch is more difficult, as Tricky races twice as fast. The racer is required to make use of the Weapon Balloons to win the rematch.
After losing again, Tricky is somehow liberated from Wizpig's spell, and awards the racer with his piece of the Wizpig Amulet. He later appears in the end-of-game cinematic, dancing with two younger triceratops.
