Smokey
Smokey the Dragon is one of the boss racers on Timber's Island. During the events of Diddy Kong Racing, Smokey is brainwashed by Wizpig and entrusted with a piece of Wizpig's amulet. Smokey allows someone to race him if all challenges on his area, Dragon Forest, are completed. During his race, Smokey leaves behind puffs of fire which can cause the player to briefly lose speed of his or her airplane. If Smokey is defeated, he allows access to Dragon Forest's Silver Coin challenges.
If all the Silver Coin challenges of Dragon Forest are beaten, players can re-race Smokey. In this rematch, Smokey flies much faster and produces twice as much fireballs. When Smokey is defeated again, he breaks free of Wizpig's control and awards a piece of Wizpig's amulet he was guarding.
Smokey also appears in Diddy Kong Racing's end-of-game celebration after the defeat of Wizpig.
Smokey appears in Diddy Kong Racing DS with a new voice, and he is an easier foe. He produces no fireballs on the first race and only a few in the rematch. Template:BoxTop
