==Race Tracks==
In Dragon Forest's lobby, each course door is on a village house, Smokey's door is on a castle and the challenge level is hidden within a tree. The character uses a [[car]] to drive around Dragon Forest's lobby.
===Windmill Plains===
[[File:DKR-WindmillPlains.png|thumb]]
{{main|Windmill Plains}}
Windmill Plains is a race track built in an agrarian landscape with many hills and tunnels. The default vehicle for this track is the [[Plane]]. Along with hay bales and a lake with a small rocky path, this track features a couple of windmills, which give the track its name. Inside the windmills are usually Item Balloons and Zippers.
{{br}}
===Greenwood Village===
[[File:DKR-GreenwoodVillage.png|thumb]]
{{main|Greenwood Village}}
Greenwood Village is divided into two segments: A part set in a medieval town with frame houses, stone walls and a well, and the other part set in a forest with uneven paths. The segments alternate through log tunnels. The race itself starts on a bridge decorated with flags and the default vehicle is the [[Car]]. The player should watch out, because some of this track's Zippers might send them right into an obstacle.
{{br}}
===Boulder Canyon===
[[File:DKR-BoulderCanyon.png|thumb]]
{{main|Boulder Canyon}}
The Boulder Canyon race track is traversed by [[Hovercraft]]s. The racers begin the race with racing down a river filled with rotating logs, which will slow the racer down upon contact. The setting then changes to that of a medieval castle. A bell that is found here can be rung which will cause the drawbridge to be risen. This is also necessary to find the key to [[Smokey Castle]]. The castle segment then leads to a canal filled with sewage water, until it restarts again at the river.
{{br}}
===Haunted Woods===
[[File:DKR-HauntedWoods.png|thumb]]
{{main|Haunted Woods}}
The Haunted Woods course resembles Greenwood Vilage, except that it adds dungeon-like tunnels to the village and forest settings. The village part features a large fountain in the center, in which racers easily can fall if they do not pay attention. This course is prominent for the ghosty [[Wizpig]] phantoms that appear throughout the forest and dungeon parts, hence the name "Haunted Woods".
{{br}}
==Boss Battle: Smokey the Dragon==
[[File:Dragon.JPG|thumb|Smokey the Dragon]]
{{main|Smokey's Course}}
The player has to defeat [[Smokey the Dragon]] on his own track to obtain a part of the [[Wizpig Amulet]]. Like the previous bosses, Smokey has to be raced twice, the first time after completing all the race tracks, and a second time after completing the [[Silver Coin]] challenges. The race takes place in a mountain range landscape filled with twisting caves. Stone pillars inside the caves and trees outside the caves might impede the players progress. In addition, Smokey breathes fireballs which will cause the player's Plane to crash-land upon contact. Smokey will double the amount of fireballs during the second race.

==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.
