'''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.

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 Balloons 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. Zippers 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.[1]
The standard vehicle for this course is the car, but the hovercraft becomes available either during Time Trials 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.
Layout[edit]
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 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 Rainbow Balloon. In the DS remake, the abyss is filled with water.
