| | A '''Power-Up Token''' is a special type of item found exclusively in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. The appear as small, white, octagonal coins with a blue border around them, as well as a brightly colored arrow in their centers. These common objects are found in every course in the game. However, because they are so valuable compared to other items, they are often hidden in hard-to-reach areas. When one is collected, the coin is pictured in the corner of the screen. If the player hits the X button while in possession of a Power-Up Token, any standard weapon they are holding is greatly upgraded and turns into a special item. The item depends on the type of [[Item Balloon]] touched previously. |

| A '''Power-Up Token'''{{ref needed}} is a weapon-upgrading item that only appears in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. They are small, white, octagonal [[coin]]s surrounded by two blue borders, and have a yellow-orange arrow in the center. These common objects are found in every course in the game. However, because they are so valuable compared to other items, they are often hidden in hard-to-reach areas. When one is collected, the coin is pictured in the corner of the screen. If the player hits the X button while in possession of a Power-Up Token, any standard weapon they are holding is greatly upgraded and turns into a special item. The item depends on the type of [[Weapon Balloon]] touched previously.

| *'''Boost Vortex (Blue Balloon Power-Up):''' This weapon allows the racer to drive on autopilot for a few moments. While this is happening, a power bar appears on the bottom screen of the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] system. The player must tap the bar at the correct time to gain several speed boosts.
| |
| *'''Trickster Mine (Green Balloon Power-Up):''' The player can set five mines disguised as Silver Coins around the course when this is activated. Additionally, the mines have a slight homing ability.

| *'''Magna Missile (Rainbow Balloon Power-Up):''' If the racer fires this missile, it travels across the map on the bottom screen of the DS system.
