'''Greenwood Village''' is an area in the [[Dragon Forest]] area of [[Timber Island]] in the game ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''. It is also featured in its [[Nintendo DS]] remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]].'' Seventeen [[Golden Balloon]]s must be collected to access this track.
'''Greenwood Village''' is the second course of the [[Dragon Forest]] area of [[Timber Island]], the fourteenth main race track, and the seventeenth course overall in the game ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its [[Nintendo DS]] remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. 17 [[Golden Balloon]]s must be collected to access this track, and later 24 for the [[Silver Coin Challenge]] (or Balloon Touch Challenge in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake). The [[car]] is the standard vehicle for this track, but after completing the course or during [[Time Trial]]s, the player has the option of using a [[hovercraft]].


The track contains a village square which requires precise driving to turn the corners. Many houses can be seen around the sides of the roads, and there are also many tunnels throughout the stage. Therefore, drivers with bad control might have trouble conquering the tracks many twists and turns. Some forks in the roads are also present in this course, but the different roads do not give the racers a major advantage. However, there is an opening in the village square one can use to skip a great deal of the beginning of the level.

==Silver Coin locations==
Like the other levels of ''Diddy Kong Racing'' and ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'', Greenwood Village is filled with eight [[Silver Coin]]s, scattered all around the area. However, the coins only appear once the player has beaten the world's boss at least once. Many of the coins in Greenwood Village appear in hard to reach places and hidden areas, adding difficulty to the challenge.
