Smokey was brainwashed by [[Wizpig]] and guards the fourth piece of the [[Wizpig 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).
During gameplay, the player can race Smokey at [[Smokey's Course|his own course]] in [[Dragon Forest]] after completing every challenge in said world. Smokey has a challenge level named after him, [[Smokey Castle]], but he does not appear here. In the boss race, the player has to race Smokey while in a [[plane]]. Smokey drops behind puffs of fire that can slow the player. 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 remake, before engaging in a rematch. In his second race, Smokey flies faster than before and drops behind more fireballs. When the player wins again, Smokey is freed from Wizpig's control and gives players the final piece of the Wizpig amulet. Later on, during the ending, Smokey appears in [[Timber's Island]], celebrating with the other characters.


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.

Smokey the Dragon is a boss in Diddy Kong Racing and its Nintendo DS remake. His body is colored orange with a yellow belly, face, and feet, and his eyes are green. He speaks with a Northern Irish accent. Prior to the game's events, Smokey was brainwashed by Wizpig and entrusted with the final piece of the Wizpig amulet, so Smokey is not inherently a villain.

During gameplay, the player can race Smokey at his own course in Dragon Forest after completing every challenge in said world. Smokey has a challenge level named after him, Smokey Castle, but he does not appear here. In the boss race, the player has to race Smokey while in a plane. Smokey drops behind puffs of fire that can slow the player. 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 remake, before engaging in a rematch. In his second race, Smokey flies faster than before and drops behind more fireballs. When the player wins again, Smokey is freed from Wizpig's control and gives players the final piece of the Wizpig amulet. Later on, during the ending, Smokey appears in Timber's Island, celebrating with the other characters.
