| [[File:WizpigGoldStatue.png|thumb|The gold trophy, a statue of Wizpig]] | | A '''Trophy Race''' (also called a '''Trophy Challenge''') is a challenge in the game, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. After beating a world in ''Diddy Kong Racing'', the player may do the challenge. Like in the ''[[Mario Kart series]]'', the player must race in four different courses. After playing in one, the player will get a certain amount of points depending on his/her placing. The player with the most points wins. However, it is important to point out that the player can't restart a track that he/she is doing poorly in; he/she must do the whole Trophy Race all over again if that's the case. |
| A '''Trophy Race''' (also called a '''Trophy Challenge''') is a challenge in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. In a Trophy Race, the player(s) must complete a series of four races. Players earn points according to their finishing position in each race. The racer with the highest number of points after all races have been completed wins a trophy: bronze for third place, silver for second, and gold for first. Winning gold in most or all of the Trophy Races is required to complete Adventure Mode. In the [[Nintendo 64]] version, there are 5 trophies in total. | |

| |
| After completing a world's [[Silver Coin]] Challenge, then winning the subsequent race against the world's boss, the Trophy Race becomes available. (Although the message when trying to enter it before this claims that "You must complete all the tasks from this world.", the Challenge Levels are not required)

There are five Trophy Races in all; the fifth one is accessible once the player wins the second Wizpig race. On a side note, the silver and bronze trophies have a statue of [[Taj]] on them. |
| Each Trophy Race involves racing through each of the four main racetracks in each world in sequence, in the same fashion as Grand Prix mode from the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], collecting points as follows:

| | In ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'', instead of winning a Wizpig trophy every time, the player will get different themed trophies depending on what world he/she is in. |

| | These are the number of points given depending on the placing of the characters. The total points a player can get is 36 points. |

| To collect the winner's trophy - a gold statue of [[Wizpig]] - the player needs only to accumulate more points than any other racer over the four races. The second-place trophy is a silver statue of [[Taj]], while the third-place is a bronze statue of [[T.T.]] The four races must be completed in one continuous playthrough - the player cannot save and quit mid-cup, nor can they restart an individual race within the Trophy Challenge.
| |
|
| |
| In order to access the fifth world, [[Future Fun Land]], the player must successfully win gold in the Trophy Races for [[Dino Domain]], [[Snowflake Mountain]], [[Sherbet Island]] and [[Dragon Forest]]. The Trophy Race for Future Fun Land is accessible after completing [[Wizpig Strikes Back]], but is optional - i.e., has no gameplay consequences for non-completion.
| |
|
| |
| Once unlocked, Trophy Races can also be played outside of Adventure Mode, in Tracks Mode. Trophy Races can also be played in two-player Adventure Mode (accessed using the cheat code JOINTVENTURE), but with only four CPU characters.

| |
| In ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'', each Trophy varies in appearance to the area it's associated to. Unlike in the original game, the fifth and final Trophy Race in Adventure Mode must be completed before Wizpig can be challenged in [[Future Fun Land]], this is the only time a trophy race must be completed before the boss is defeated.
| |
|
| |
| Unlike the original game, a trophy race cannot be replayed in adventure mode once the gold trophy is obtained; instead, a congratulatory message is displayed. It is also not available in any single player mode, so it can only be replayed in multiplayer.

| |
| A Trophy Race of the four new tracks, set on [[Donkey Kong Island|DK Island]], is not present in Adventure Mode, but can be played outside of it. In multiplayer, points are assigned as follows:
