Game storyline: After living in peace and harmony for years, the inhabitants of Timbers Island are invaded by the evil Wizpig. Receiving a frantic plea for help, Diddy Kong assembles members of the Kong family and rushes to the rescue.

Can he save the island in time, or will Wizpig hog all the glory for himself?

How to progress through the game: Diddy Kong Racing DS is unique among racing games because it?s more than just a series of cups and challenges ? it?s a full-fledged adventure. The game starts in a hub zone (a portion of the island that serves as an access point for all other areas), but where players go after that is up to them. They can drive over bridges, through oceans and around volcanoes as they enter races in a quest for balloons that let them unlock different portions of the island. And when they?re not racing, they can explore their surroundings and try to discover the many hidden secrets of Timber?s Island. But don?t think this is a leisurely Sunday drive ? players have to speed through a huge variety of racing challenges if they want to complete the adventure and save their friends from Wizpig?s nefarious schemes.

A bloated space pig has taken control of Diddy Kong?s island paradise, and only you can stop his nefarious plot. Players take on the racing challenge of a lifetime as they drive, hover and fly their way across the massive island. This remastered take on a Nintendo 64 classic is sure to rev the engines of adventure racing fans everywhere.
