Snowflake Mountain
Snowflake Mountain is an area found on Timber Island in the game Diddy Kong Racing and its remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS. Snowflake Mountain includes Everfrost Peak, Walrus Cove, Snowball Valley, Frosty Village, and Icicle Pyramid. It can be accessed by piloting a plane over a cliff. If the player has collected two or more Golden Balloons, the door to the Snowflake Mountain is unlocked. The zone resembles a freezing mountain with a small village at the base. Bluey the Walrus is the boss of Snowflake Mountain.
Race Tracks
Everfrost Peak
The Everfrost Peak track is set in a a carved snow canyon with two Zippers. All three vehicles can be used in the original NG4 game but the car cannot be used in the DS version. This is the first snow track in this game.
Walrus Cove
Walrus Cove is a race track also set in an icy area. Some walruses can be seen, and there is an ice slide with a loop in it. There is water near the end of the track.
Snowball Valley
Snowball Valley contains the key to Snowflake Mountain. The track contains giant snowballs that can crush the player. There are several icy roads. Before the finish line, there is an igloo that the racers enter. In the DS version, the key has a different appearance.
Frosty Village
Frosty Village begins with a huge downward slope that can be skipped with a Zipper and balloon. After the first cave, the player can turn right for a shortcut. After the second cave, there is water. All three vehicles can be used. It takes place around a village, giving it its name. In the remake, it is easier to take the shortcut.
Boss Battle: Bluey's Course
The boss of Snowflake Mountain, Bluey the Walrus, is fought twice in the game. The vehicle used is the hovercraft. The track is snowy and mostly downhill, with tunnels and giant candy canes. Again, there are giant snowballs. However, in the DS remake they are gone and the race is more difficult. The second time Bluey is fought, he is twice as fast.
Icicle Pyramid
Icicle Pyramid is a battle stage that is unlockable in NG4 but is only available in multiplayer on the DS. It is set in a three-story ice pyramid. If a player gets hit with an item four times, they are out. A tunnel allows the player to get items.
