Crescent Island

Crescent Island is an area in the Sherbert Island area of Timber's Island in the games Diddy Kong Racing and its remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS.

Diddy Kong Racing
The track has a fork in the road at the initial part of the level where the player may either take a zipper on the left or collect balloons on the right. Further ahead is a pirate ship, where the player can either drive directly through it, or they can enter an opening on top of it and continue onwards. Also, if the player has a hovercraft, he/shecan take a good shortcut by riding around the ship, instead of going on it. Near the end of the track is another shortcut where the player must take a hard right to achieve, not crashing into a sandy spike in the ground.

A hidden key is also in this course. To find it, the player must go left into the ocean in at the first fork in the road. An X mark can be seen on the wall with the key under it. The key will allow the player to play at the battle stage, Darkwater Beach.

Diddy Kong Racing DS
In the Nintendo DS remake, the track is mainly the same. However, the key is found in a different location to the original. It is to the left after the player finishes the first fork-in-the-road.
