'''Spaceport Alpha''' is a track in the [[Future Fun Land]] area of ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its [[Nintendo DS]] remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]].'' The track requires 41 [[Gold Balloon]]s to be unlocked, but, once the track and the world boss are completed, it takes 45 balloons to play it again with the Silver Coin Challenge. The [[car]], the [[hovercraft]], and the [[plane]] can be used to complete this track.
'''Spaceport Alpha''' is the third track of [[Future Fun Land]], the nineteenth main race track,  and the twenty-fourth overall course in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its [[Nintendo DS]] remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]].'' The track requires 41 [[Gold Balloon]]s to be unlocked (40 in the remake), but, once the track and the world boss are completed, it takes 45 balloons to play it again with the [[Silver Coin]] Challenge (44 to play the [[Balloon Touch Challenge]] in the Nintendo DS remake). The [[plane]] is the standard vehicle for this course, but the [[car]] and [[hovercraft]] can also be used after it is completed twice or in [[Time Trial]]s. The official ''Diddy Kong Racing'' website suggested racing as Conker on this track.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19981203031521/http://www.dkr.com/spaceport.html ''Diddy Kong Racing'' website (Spaceport Alpha)]</ref>


The course is set inside a large spaceport full of many high-tech devices. The course features two large rooms, one of which has a giant 64 on its floor (referencing the [[Nintendo 64]]). The track also features a powerful fan that can push the racers up through a narrow passage in a tunnel, along with a long room full of roadblocks and lasers.

In the Nintendo DS version of the game, Spaceport Alpha features several differences. While the course is set up in a very similar way, the second large room after the fan has a DS sign printed on its floor, instead of a 64, to reference the Nintendo DS. The lasers have also been removed, and the original music has been replaced by a more high-tech theme.

==Silver Coin locations==
==Silver Coin locations==
Like the other levels of ''Diddy Kong Racing'' and ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'', Spaceport Alpha is filled with eight [[Silver Coin]]s, scattered all around the area. However, the coins only appear once the player has beaten the world's boss at least once.
===Adventure mode===
*The first coin is placed near the wall on the right before the player enters the second room.
*The second coin is on the ground in the second room near a green wall.
*Before heading up through a tunnel on a strong gust of wind, the racers pass the third coin.
*In the middle of the large room after the vertical tunnels is the fourth coin.
*The fifth coin is to the left of a roadblock near the beginning of the straight room full of lasers.
*In the same room as the fifth coin, the sixth coin is located to the right of the area after a Zipper.
*The seventh coin can be found immediately before the round, blue tunnel.
*The eighth coin is in the center of the exit of the blue tunnel.


#The first coin is placed near the wall on the right before the player enters the second room.
===Adventure Two mode===
#The next coin is on the ground in the second room near a green wall.
*Just after the start, on the bottom of the track, in between the Item Balloons.
#Before heading up through a tunnel on a strong gust of wind, the racers pass the third coin.
*On the left side of the track, just before the second corner.
#In the middle of the large room after the vertical tunnels is the next coin.
*In the middle of the entrance to the area with the air gust section.
#The fifth coin is to the left of a roadblock near the beginning of the straight room full of lasers.
*In a [[Dash Panel#Diddy Kong Racing / Diddy Kong Racing DS|Zipper]] in the large empty room.
#In the same room as the fifth coin, the sixth coin is located to the right of the area after a Zipper.
*On top of the first platform on the left side of the track in the section with the laser beams.
#Another coin can be found immediately before the round, blue tunnel.
*In the middle of the track, halfway through the section with the laser beams.
#The final coin is in the center of the exit of the blue tunnel.
*On the right side of the track in the section with the laser beams, just before the exit of the section.
*Halfway through the blue tunnel, near the top.
