Course Unlock requirement Vehicles Description
Windmill Plains, from Diddy Kong Racing.
Windmill Plains 		Golden Balloon: × 16 (race)
Golden Balloon: × 23 (Silver Coin/Balloon Pop Challenge) 		Car, Hovercraft, Plane Windmill Plains is a race track built in an agrarian landscape with many hills and tunnels. The default vehicle for this track is the plane. Along with hay bales and a lake with a small rocky path, this track features a couple of windmills, which give the track its name. Inside the windmills are usually Item Balloons and Zippers.
Greenwood Village, from Diddy Kong Racing.
Greenwood Village 		Golden Balloon: × 17 (race)
Golden Balloon: × 24 (Silver Coin/Balloon Pop Challenge) 		Car, Hovercraft Greenwood Village is divided into two segments: A part set in a medieval town with frame houses, stone walls and a well, and the other part set in a forest with uneven paths. The segments alternate through log tunnels. The race itself starts on a bridge decorated with flags and the default vehicle is the car. The player should watch out, because some of this track's Zippers might send them right into an obstacle.
Boulder Canyon, from Diddy Kong Racing.
Boulder Canyon 		Golden Balloon: × 20 (race)
Golden Balloon: × 30 (Silver Coin/Balloon Pop Challenge) 		Hovercraft Boulder Canyon is traversed by hovercrafts. The racers start off by racing down a river filled with rotating logs, which slows down the racers. The setting then changes to that of a medieval castle. A bell that is found here can be rung which will cause the drawbridge to be risen. This is also necessary to find the key to Smokey Castle. The castle segment then leads to a canal filled with sewage water, until it restarts again at the river.
Haunted Woods, from Diddy Kong Racing.
Haunted Woods 		Golden Balloon: × 22 (race)
Golden Balloon: × 37 (Silver Coin/Balloon Pop Challenge) 		Car, Hovercraft The Haunted Woods course resembles Greenwood Village, except that it adds dungeon-like tunnels to the village and forest settings. The village part features a large fountain in the center, in which racers easily can fall if they do not pay attention. This course is prominent for the ghostly Wizpig phantoms appearing throughout the forest and dungeon, hence the name "Haunted Woods".
