This article is about a usable vehicle in Diddy Kong Racing. For the Yoshi transformation from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, see Car Yoshi. For the obstacle from the Mario Kart series, see Car (obstacle).
Not to be confused with Kart.

Cars are one of three ridable vehicles in Diddy Kong Racing and Diddy Kong Racing DS, along with hovercrafts and planes. Cars are land vehicles, and they are used for racetracks set on the road.

In the original version, every character's vehicle has their own unique color, including cars, though each one's tires are always red. In Diddy Kong Racing DS, every character's vehicles are yellow by default. The player can access Taj's Wishes Menu to purchase upgrades for a car's speed, handling, and acceleration. They can also customize a car's paint color from a slider or put an emblem on it, much like in Mario Kart DS.

Level availability

Cars are usable in every level except Hot Top Volcano, Whale Bay, Pirate Lagoon, and Boulder Canyon, where the player must use a hovercraft or plane instead. Cars are usable in Everfrost Peak in the original Nintendo 64 version, but since the course's icy pond is thawed in the DS release, cars cannot be used in the stage. They are most often the default vehicle for each course that they are ridable in.

The player can select a course's available vehicles to race in from either the "Tracks" menu or by completing a Silver Coin Challenge (or Balloon Touch Challenge in the DS remake).
