'''Snowflake Mountain''' is the second world of ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its [[Nintendo DS]] remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''.


[[Image:Snowflake_Mountain.PNG|thumb|The lobby of '''Snowflake Mountain''']]
As its name suggests, Snowflake Mountain is entirely snow-themed. Its courses frozen ponds, giant snowballs, and a single village in one racetrack. The player can enter the world by flying a [[plane]] over a cliff in the snowy region of [[Timber's Island]] hub. The player's racer must have at least two [[Golden Balloon]]s to enter Snowflake Mountain. The world's boss is [[Bluey the Walrus]].
'''Snowflake Mountain''' is an area found on [[Timber Island]] in the game ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. Snowflake Mountain includes [[Everfrost Peak]], [[Walrus Cove]], [[Snowball Valley]], [[Frosty Village]], and [[Icicle Pyramid]]. It can be accessed by piloting a [[plane]] over a cliff. If the player has collected two or more [[Golden Balloon]]s, the door to the Snowflake Mountain is unlocked. The zone resembles a freezing mountain with a small village at the base. [[Bluey]] the Walrus is the boss of Snowflake Mountain.


==Race Tracks==
Snowflake Mountain's lobby consists of the course doors mounted on the mountain cliffs with the [[Trophy Race]] located in a cavern next to the igloo, which houses [[Bluey's Course]]. The challenge level is located off to the right of the entrance.
===Everfrost Peak===
[[File:Everfrost Peak.PNG|left|thumb|'''Everfrost Peak''']]
The [[Everfrost Peak]] track is set in a a carved snow canyon with two [[Zippers]]. All three vehicles can be used in the original NG4 game but the car cannot be used in the DS version. This is the first snow track in this game.

===Walrus Cove===
In the DS remake, a statue of Bluey the Walrus stands in the middle of the main lobby.
[[File:Walrus Cove.PNG|left|thumb|'''Walrus Cove''']]
[[Walrus Cove]] is a race track also set in an icy area. Some walruses can be seen, and there is an ice slide with a loop in it. There is water near the end of the track.

==Courses==
For courses where two or all three vehicles can be used, vehicles listed in '''bold print''' are the mandated vehicle during Adventure Mode and the Trophy Race, and other vehicles can only be used in a Time Trial or after the course is completed.

|Snowball Valley features large snowballs that can crush racers, and they even become larger from rolling downhill. Its road is slippery and icy. The racers also enter an igloo shortly before the finish line. The player can also find the second [[Wish Key]] in an alcove, located at the end of a trail located directly left of the finish line.

|Icicle Pyramid is set in a three-story ice pyramid. Gameplay-wise, it is very similar to the [[:Category:Battle courses|Battle Course]]s of the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. A racer's goal is to simply attack the other racers with from red and green [[Weapon Balloon]]s placed over the stage. A racer loses if hit by an item four times.


===Snowball Valley===
In the DS remake, Icicle Pyramid, as well as the other Challenge Levels, was replaced with a [[Wish Race]] against T.T. in the Adventure Mode, being playable only in multiplayer.

The boss of Snowflake Mountain, [[Bluey the Walrus]], is fought twice in the game. The vehicle used is the hovercraft. The track is snowy and mostly downhill, with tunnels and giant candy canes. Again, there are giant snowballs.  However, in the DS remake they are gone and the race is more difficult. The second time Bluey is fought, he is twice as fast.

==Icicle Pyramid==
[[File:Icicle Pyramid.PNG|left|thumb|'''Icicle Pyramid''']]
[[Icicle Pyramid]] is a battle stage that is unlockable in NG4 but is only available in multiplayer on the DS. It is set in a three-story ice pyramid. If a player gets hit with an item four times, they are out. A tunnel allows the player to get items.
