'''Smokey the Dragon''' is the fourth boss in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its [[reissue|remake]], ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. His body is colored orange with a yellow belly, face, and feet, and his eyes are green. The player races him at the end of [[Dragon Forest]] in his own stage, [[Smokey's Course]]. He speaks with a Northern Irish accent. Smokey has a challenge level named after him named [[Smokey Castle]].
'''Smokey the Dragon''' is a large fire-breathing [[dragon]] and one of the top racers on [[Timber's Island]]. His name is a pun on the fictional character [[wikipedia:Smokey the Bear|Smokey the Bear]].


During the events of ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', Smokey was enslaved by the evil alien pig [[Wizpig]] into being one of his servants. After his brainwashing, Smokey was intrusted with a piece of Wizpig's amulet.
Smokey was brainwashed by [[Wizpig]] and guards the fourth piece of [[Wizpig amulet|his amulet]]. The player races Smokey after they complete every race in Dragon Forest. The boss race is aerial, as Smokey flies while the player rides in a [[Plane]]. Smokey attacks the player by leaving behind puffs of fire that slow them down. When the player completes the first match against Smokey, he challenges them to complete the four [[Silver Coin|Silver Coin Challenge]]s (or [[Balloon Touch Challenge]] in the DS remake).


Smokey would only allow someone to race him if they beat all the challenges in his area, [[Dragon Forest]]. Once all Dragon Forest's trials are beaten Smokey becomes raceable. During his race, Smokey plays dirty; he will attempt to hit his opponent with puffs of fire which can cause his opponent to lose control of their vehicle briefly. If Smokey is beaten, he manages to fight off the effects of Wizpig's control long enough to allow the victor of the race to gain access to Dragon Forest's [[Silver Coin]] challenges.
The player can rematch Smokey after completing every Silver Coin or Balloon Touch Challenge. Like the previous bosses, Smokey's difficulty is increased for the rematch: he flies faster and produces twice the number of fireballs. After the player wins the race, Smokey is freed from Wizpig's control and gives players the final piece of the Wizpig amulet. He is present in the game's ending where he celebrates with the other characters.


If all the Silver Coin challenges of Dragon Forest are beaten, players can re-race Smokey. In this rematch, Smokey flies much faster, and he also produces much more fireballs this time around. When Smokey is defeated once again, he will break free of Wizpig's control and award the one who freed him with the piece of Wizpig's amulet he was charged with guarding.
Like most characters, Smokey's voice is changed for ''Diddy Kong Racing DS''. The boss race's difficulty was decreased, as he does not produce any fireballs on the first match and only a few on the second one.

Smokey may have been set to make a reappearance in the canceled game ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]''; as [[Taj the Genie]], a character from ''Diddy Kong Racing'', was going to appear in it. It is unknown if Smokey was going to appear in ''Diddy Kong Racing's'' canceled [[Game Boy Advance]] sequel, ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot]]''.

Smokey appears in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'' which has him with a new voice and now he is an easy foe. He produces no fireballs on the first race and a few the rematch. He sounds more evil-like in this game.

Smokey the Dragon is the fourth boss in Diddy Kong Racing and its remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS. His body is colored orange with a yellow belly, face, and feet, and his eyes are green. The player races him at the end of Dragon Forest in his own stage, Smokey's Course. He speaks with a Northern Irish accent. Smokey has a challenge level named after him named Smokey Castle.

Smokey was brainwashed by Wizpig and guards the fourth piece of his amulet. The player races Smokey after they complete every race in Dragon Forest. The boss race is aerial, as Smokey flies while the player rides in a Plane. Smokey attacks the player by leaving behind puffs of fire that slow them down. When the player completes the first match against Smokey, he challenges them to complete the four Silver Coin Challenges (or Balloon Touch Challenge in the DS remake).

The player can rematch Smokey after completing every Silver Coin or Balloon Touch Challenge. Like the previous bosses, Smokey's difficulty is increased for the rematch: he flies faster and produces twice the number of fireballs. After the player wins the race, Smokey is freed from Wizpig's control and gives players the final piece of the Wizpig amulet. He is present in the game's ending where he celebrates with the other characters.

Like most characters, Smokey's voice is changed for Diddy Kong Racing DS. The boss race's difficulty was decreased, as he does not produce any fireballs on the first match and only a few on the second one.
