Template:Distinguish2 Haunted Woods is the fourth and final course of Dragon Forest, the sixteenth main race track, and the final prior to Future Fun Land in Diddy Kong Racing and its Nintendo DS remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS.
The player must have at least 22 Golden Balloons to race on Haunted Woods, and 37 to unlock its Silver Coin challenge (or 35 to unlock the Balloon Touch Challenge in the Nintendo DS remake). The stage's default vehicle is Cars, but racers can use Hovercrafts after completing the course twice or via Time Trials. The official Diddy Kong Racing website suggested racing as Timber on this track.[1]
Layout
The course immediately has a right turn that leads into a medieval village, and a fountain. There are two paths around the fountain, but they both intersect with one another quickly. The track then leads into a long passageway and a castle gate, before heading into the woods. As the driver enters the woods, they are confronted with ghostly Wizpig heads, but the track soon loops around to a bridge leading back into the castle and then the finish line.
In the DS remake, the dark sky was changed to a green canopy ceiling.
