'''Hot Top Volcano''' is the fourth track in set for ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and it's [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|DS counterpart]].
'''Hot Top Volcano''' is the fourth and final course of the [[Dino Domain]] area of [[Timber Island]] and the fourth overall track in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. Hot Top Volcano is a barren, volcanic area with pools of yellow lava, a few caves, and orange-brown clouds in the sky. The player's racer is required to have at least five [[Golden Balloon]]s to access Hot Top Volcano and ten for the [[Silver Coin Challenge]] (or the [[Balloon Touch Challenge]] in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake).


This track is the first in the set to use a [[plane]] as its default vehicle. Its twisted turns and narrow passages make it the hardest of the beginning races. During its last few yards, there is a huge green Brontosaurus and two plane-made zippers. Getting through this obstacle is the key to the track victory. Despite being a volcanic stage, the [[Player]] can use both planes and [[Hovercraft (DKR)|hovercrafts]] when racing on it (as pictured).  However, cars cannot be used for obvious reasons.
Hot Top Volcano is the first course to use a [[plane]] as a default vehicle.

Hot Top Volcano is the fourth and final course of the Dino Domain area of Timber Island and the fourth overall track in Diddy Kong Racing and Diddy Kong Racing DS. Hot Top Volcano is a barren, volcanic area with pools of yellow lava, a few caves, and orange-brown clouds in the sky. The player's racer is required to have at least five Golden Balloons to access Hot Top Volcano and ten for the Silver Coin Challenge (or the Balloon Touch Challenge in the Nintendo DS remake).

Hot Top Volcano is the first course to use a plane as a default vehicle. In Time Trials and subsequent races, the player is provided with an option to have the characters race in Hovercrafts. The official Diddy Kong Racing website suggested racing as Pipsy on this track.[1]

Layout[edit]

Hot Top Volcano from Diddy Kong Racing
The start of the track.

The course begins with a sharp drop. There are two red balloons and two balloons only planes can reach. Some bananas are found behind the rock structure. Then, there are two tunnels; on the right, there is a blue balloon both hovercrafts and planes can reach. Hovercrafts fall into the lava after this. Planes can collect red balloons on the main left path, but they can also collect some bananas on a narrow corridor on the left.

There is a large slope after this with a red balloon on the left and a blue balloon on the right. Hovercrafts enter the lava after a sharp downward slope. Planes can use a dash ring on the left. An arch is found here with two red balloons on the left and two blue balloons on the right.

Soon, there is a turn to the left, leading into another room. A green dinosaur roams in this room, being an obstacle. There is relatively rough terrain. Players can opt for balloons and dash rings on the sides of the room or for bananas in the middle. After an archway, racers complete the lap.
