Snowball Valley

Snowball Valley is an area in the Snowflake Mountain area of Timber Island in the games Diddy Kong Racing and its remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS. The player starts off driving straight forward into a split path; the right route has two red balloons and two green balloons; the left path has a blue balloon. The arrow sign points toward the right path, but the left path may be the best choice. If the player would choose the left path, he or she will travel through a tunnel, through another blue balloon, over the right path. The right path has many bananas, but also ice which, if a player falls on it, he or she will bounce and lose some time.

At this time, the player should reach an area with the faces of Pipsy, Bumper, and Krunch carved into a mountain, made with snow. Turn right and run over the zipper (or Boost Pad), and get one of the two purple balloons or blue balloons. In the next area, there will be some snowballs rolling down the mountain. If they roll over players when they're in a car, players will be squashed flat and slowed down. On a hovercraft, the player should only get knocked away. After the snowball area, the player would enter a tunnel. After exiting the tunnel, two blue balloons, two red balloons, and a green balloon would be found. The player would then make one final right turn and cross the finish line.
