| | '''Walrus Cove''' is an area in the [[Snowflake Mountain]] area of [[Timber Island]] in the games ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. Ironically, not many walruses can be seen. |

| '''Walrus Cove''' is the second race course of the [[Snowflake Mountain]] area of [[Timber's Island]], the sixth main race track, and the seventh overall track in the games ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. Despite its name, no walruses appear in Walrus Cove. Three [[Golden Balloon]]s are needed to open this course, and then eleven for the [[Silver Coin Challenge]] (or Balloon Touch Challenge in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake). This is also the first racetrack to have at least one loop.

| The cove has a massive ice slide which bends upwards. [[Dash Panel|Zipper]]s at the foot of the slide allow the players to traverse it. The official ''Diddy Kong Racing'' website suggested racing as Conker on this track.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19990420011329/http://www.dkr.com/walruscove.html ''Diddy Kong Racing'' website (Walrus Cove)]</ref>

| The standard vehicle for this course is the [[car]], but the [[hovercraft]] becomes available either during [[Time Trial]]s or after this course is completed. In the [[Nintendo DS]] version, the water near the end of the track acts as normal water. In the original version, it bounces the player's car until they reach land; the water does not affect hovercrafts.{{br|left}}

| ==Layout==
| |
| The track starts with the racers immediately going into a cave before going onto an icy loop-the-loop. After this part of the track, the racers go upwards in a spiral up out of the cave that has different-colored lanterns inside, before going over an icy straight with some [[Dash Panel#Diddy Kong Racing / Diddy Kong Racing DS|Zippers]] that leads back into a cave following a left-hand turn. The racers then exit the cave and spiral down a snowy path, before entering the final section, which is made up of icebergs and the water between them, before getting back to the start line. On a branching path in the iceberg section, if the player goes on the left path they can get a [[Weapon Balloon|Rainbow Balloon]]. In the DS remake, the abyss is filled with water.
