'''Fire Mountain''' is a challenge level on [[Dino Domain]] in the game ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|remake]]. In the [[Nintendo 64]] version, it can be played any time, but in the remake, it can only be played in multiplayer mode.  
'''Fire Mountain''' is a challenge level on [[Dino Domain]] in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''. It can be unlocked after obtaining the [[Wish Key]] in [[Ancient Lake]]. In the [[Nintendo DS]] [[remake]], Fire Mountain can be unlocked from Taj's Wishes Menu by paying 30 [[Coin (Diddy Kong Racing DS)|Coin]]s for the "Battle Stage 1" option. Each racer uses a [[Plane]] in this stage, and their objective is to be the first to hatch three eggs.
 
In the cancelled 2001 ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot (2001)|Diddy Kong Pilot]]'', there is an unfinished battle course, Hatch Match, which appeared to have a similar objective to that of Fire Mountain's, as racers could also pick up eggs.

The goal of the game involves the player getting three hatched dinosaur eggs into their respective base. They can get eggs from the middle of the level or steal them from an opponent. After putting the egg on the player's base, it still takes time to hatch. If the egg hasn't hatched yet, opponents are free to steal it. Items are also placed throughout the stage so the player can hit their opponents and make them drop their eggs. After all three eggs have hatched in the player's nest, they win.
Fire Mountain is set in an enclosed, circular location with a large rock formation enclosing the arena itself. As its name suggests, Fire Mountain contains volcanic scenery in the background. A small pit of lava appears in the center and contains a few dinosaur eggs. Racers can fly here to obtain an egg and then carry it back into their nest. Each player's nest appears on a ledge in the higher portion of the stage, with a large mugshot showing which player it belongs to. Shortly after a player takes an egg from pool, another egg spawns in its place. In the lower part of the stage, there are red [[Weapon Balloon]]s on a rock platform, around the perimeter area, and a large green dinosaur walking around the stage.


The course is in the shape of a large circle. In the center of this circle is a large nest, consisting of a few dinosaur eggs. Racers can swoop down and grab these eggs at any time, although once the eggs are taken from the nest, they may take a while to reappear. A few Item Balloons can also be found around the lower area of the stage around the perimeter of the area, giving the players some rockets to, as mentioned before, shoot at opponents. In the higher areas of the stage, four small individual nests can be found, each being owned by a certain character. A picture of the character is present above each nest, letting the players know who the nests belong to.{{br}}
The HUD is displayed from the top screen, and it displays an icon of each player and the number of eggs they have hatched. When a racer puts an egg into their nest, they must wait a couple of seconds for it to hatch. When the egg of a player is busy hatching, an icon of it slowly flashes on the HUD beneath their mugshot. When an egg hatches, its shell cracks slightly, with two eyes peeking out from it, and the egg stops flashing from the HUD.


Players have a few ways to steal an egg from their opponent. They can do so by firing a rocket at their opponent, causing the target to drop the egg they are carrying. Also, while an egg is currently hatching at an opponent's nest, the player can take that egg from them. They cannot steal hatched eggs.
