Artwork of the four different Wish Keys in Diddy Kong Racing DS
Wish Keys,[1] originally referred to as keys[2] or Gold Keys,[3][4] are items in Diddy Kong Racing and Diddy Kong Racing DS. They are a set of four golden keys, though in the remake, each Wish Key received a distinct design based on their world theme: Dino Domain's has a skull design; Snowflake Mountain's is made of ice; Sherbet Island's key resembles a golden anchor; and Dragon Forest's has the same gold appearance as before. Each world has a Wish Key hidden in one of its courses, and collecting it unlocks the Challenge Level door of that world. After each key is retrieved, the character can choose to either win or quit the race. Their role was slightly changed in the DS remake, where each Wish Key unlocks a Wish Race against T.T.
Wish Keys appear in the following locations:
| Image | Course | Challenge Level | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Ancient Lake (Dino Domain) |
Fire Mountain | The racer must drive off a ramp located offtrack and next to the course's first turn. |
|
Snowball Valley (Snowflake Mountain) | Icicle Pyramid | The racer must drive to the left of the finish line, which leads to a hidden path. The Wish Key is in an alcove of the icicle-covered wall on the right side. |
|
Crescent Island (Sherbet Island) | Darkwater Beach | The racer must take the left path at the split. Around halfway through the path, they must drive into the water and collect the Wish Key in a nearby alcove. The easiest way for it is the hovercraft. |
|
Boulder Canyon (Dragon Forest) |
Smokey Castle | The racer must race through the course and stop after crossing the drawbridge. They must hit a nearby bell, which causes the drawbridge to slowly rise. As it rises, the racer must use a speed boost power-up near the end of the drawbridge and boost onto a platform with the final Wish Key. |
