'''Snowflake Mountain''' is the second world of ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|its Nintendo DS version]]. Snowflake Mountain maintains a consistent snow theme, having courses with frozen ponds, giant snowballs, and even a snowy village. Snowflake Mountain's lobby consists of the course doors mounted on the mountain cliffs with the [[Trophy Race]] located in a cavern next to the igloo, which houses [[Bluey's Course]]. The challenge level is located off to the right of the entrance. The player can enter the world by flying a [[plane]] over a cliff in the snowy region of [[Timber's Island]] hub, but the door to the world requires that they have at least two [[Golden Balloon]]s to enter. The boss of Snowflake Mountain is [[Bluey the Walrus]]. | |||

|Like the rest of Snowflake Mountain, Walrus Cove also takes place in an icy region. Despite its name, few walruses can be seen. The level mainly features a looping ice slide. | |||

|Snowball Valley features large snowballs that can crush racers, and they even become larger from rolling downhill. Its road is slippery and icy. The racers also enter an igloo shortly before the finish line. The player can also find the second [[Wish Key]] in an alcove, located at the end of a trail located directly left of the finish line. | |||

|Frosty Village begins with a huge downward slope that can be skipped with a Zipper and balloon. After the first cave, the player can turn right for a shortcut. After the second cave, there is water. All three vehicles can be used. It takes place around a village, giving it its name. In the remake, it is easier to take the shortcut. | |||

|The player races against the world boss, [[Bluey the Walrus]]. The track is snowy and is a downhill slide. Like [[Tricky the Triceratops|Tricky]], it only has one lap. There is a tunnel in one segment, and giant snowballs just outside the tunnel. When the player rematches Bluey, he races faster. | |||

|Icicle Pyramid is set in a three-story ice pyramid. Gameplay-wise, it is very similar to the [[:Category:Battle courses|Battle Course]]s of the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. A racer's goal is to simply attack the other racers with from red and green [[Weapon Balloon]]s placed over the stage. A racer loses if hit by an item four times. | |||
In the DS remake, Icicle Pyramid, as well as the other Challenge Levels, was replaced with a [[Wish Race]] against T.T. in the Adventure Mode, being playable only in multiplayer. | |||
