Windmill Plains

Windmill Plains is the first area in the Dragon Forest area of Timber Island in the games Diddy Kong Racing and its remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS. The track requires 16 balloons to be unlocked, although 23 balloons are needed to unlock its coin challenge.

This level is notable for its many windmills, which serve as obstacles throughout the stage. The track has a country theme, and it is surrounded by bright green mountains. The road is mostly flat and there are a few long tunnels that can be found in the race. Some areas of the track are also surrounded in water, so players driving in cars have to be careful. Luckily, the track's standard vehicle is the plane, so racers can usually just fly over the watery areas.

Silver Coin Locations
Like the other levels of Diddy Kong Racing and Diddy Kong Racing DS, Windmill Plains is filled with eight Silver Coins, scattered all around the area. However, the coins only appear once the player has beaten the world's boss at least once. Many of the coins in Windmill Plains are off-road, making the challenge increasingly difficult.


 * 1) In the first windmill in the track, the player can find the first coin.
 * 2) The next coin can be found inside of a small tunnel in the second windmill.
 * 3) After hitting the first Zipper, the racers can find another coin floating above the track before a large tunnel.
 * 4) The fourth coin is located in the first long tunnel.
 * 5) Upon exiting the first tunnel, a windmill can be seen. The fifth coin is in this windmill.
 * 6) Soon after the fifth coin, players enter an area filled with water. Inside a waterfall here, the next coin can be found.
 * 7) After the sixth coin, the track leads the racers through a narrow valley, where another coin can be collected.
 * 8) The final coin is located to the left of the last Zipper.
