Smokey Challenge,[1] also known as Smokey the Dragon by the game's website,[2] is the boss course of Dragon Forest in Diddy Kong Racing and its Nintendo DS remake, as well as the fourth boss course in both versions overall. It is an aerial race against Smokey, which features the player racing in a Plane. Smokey's Course is set in a grassy valley, with a series of cavern tunnels and a few windmills. This course is opened after all the courses of Dragon Forest have been cleared. Like the previous boss race, Bubbler Challenge, this stage is done in three laps.

During the race, Smokey will try to slow down players by spitting fireballs at them. If the players manage to win against Smokey, they can re-challenge him once they complete every Silver Coin Challenge and have collected 38 Golden Balloons.

A large windmill is in the center of this field, containing a blue Weapon Balloon inside of it. The entrance to the next tunnel is to the left of this. The tunnel is rather short, and it leads back onto an open field. The main obstacle in this open is area the trees, which can slow down players is run into.
