Snowflake Mountain

The lobby of Snowflake Mountain.

Snowflake Mountain is the second world of Diddy Kong Racing and its remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS. The area is snow based with frozen ponds, giant snowballs, and a single village in one racetrack. To access it, the player must have collected 2 or more Golden Balloons and fly to the entrance on a cliff. Bluey the Walrus is the boss.

Description

The permanently frozen slopes of Snowflake Mountain are pretty inhospitable at most times, but when it comes to testing your racing prowess, they're the place to be. Frosty tunnels, towering ice slabs and vast snowfields all combine to form some grueling courses. Here you'll get the chance to hit top speed on the glacier at Everfrost Peak, loop the loop in the caves of Walrus Cove, skid between tumbling ice boulders in Snowball valley and cruise through the starlit mist at Frosty Village.
