'''Future Fun Land''' is a planet featured in the game ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its remake ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. It is the homeworld of [[Wizpig]], an evil pig-like alien who attempted to conquered his own planet and many others, with [[Mushroom World]] next on his list. Luckily, [[Diddy Kong]] and his pals beat him, with Wizpig challeging them to a race on ''his'' turf. After racing on various tracks on and around Future Fun Land, Wizpig was again defeated and all the conquered planets presumably returned to peace.
'''Future Fun Land''' is a planet featured in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|its Nintendo DS version]].
