'''Frosty Village''' is the fourth and final track of the [[Snowflake Mountain]] area of [[Timber Island]], the eighth main race track, and the ninth track overall in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and its [[Nintendo DS]] remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. A minimum of 9 [[Golden Balloon]]s are required for racing on the course, and 16 for the [[Silver Coin Challenge]] ([[Balloon Touch Challenge]] in the remake). As its name suggests, Frosty Village takes place in a snowy village downhill, as well as some cave segments. There is also freezing water that bounces racers upward. The [[car]] is the default vehicle for this course, but the [[hovercraft]] or [[plane]] can also be used either upon its completion or during a Time Trial. The official ''Diddy Kong Racing'' website suggested racing as Banjo on this track.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19990128230443/http://www.dkr.com/frostyvillage.html ''Diddy Kong Racing'' website (Frosty Village)]</ref>


The track starts with a huge downward slope which may be totally skipped with the combination of a zipper and a blue balloon. After the first cave, if the player turns right they will find a shortcut with three zippers. After the second cave, one must be aware of the water, which only the hovercraft and/or plane may traverse over.
Part of the music for this course bears a resemblance to the Christmas song "{{wp|Winter Wonderland}}".


In the Nintendo DS remake, several large rock spikes are removed from the mid part of the level. This makes it slightly easier to take the shortcut.

The track starts with a right hand turn that leads to a viaduct that leads to a hill. At the bottom of the hill is a small village with three houses, and a right hand turn leading into a cave. The cave leads to a winding path, adorned with a lot of lampposts and Christmas trees. At the end of the path is another cave, which leads to a section with a small lake on waterfall on the right side of the track. At the end of this is a small cave that leads back to the track's starting line.

In ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'', several rock spikes were removed from the mid-part of the level. This makes the shortcut slightly easier to take. Fences and more houses and streetlamps are added throughout the track.
