Glitches

Eight screenshots of the glitch. For more information, click the image

Few glitches have been found in Diddy Kong Racing, which is in contrast to other games from its time period. However, there is one prominent glitch which can acutally launch the player up out of the game's boundaries. It can be done as follows:

  1. Go to "Magic Codes", and enter the codes "FREEFORALL" and "ROCKETFUEL".
  2. Go to the course "Greenwood Village".
  3. Before coming to the first zipper, use a rocket. Any combination of rockets and zippers may be used, as there are two balloons in the area.
  4. Aim for the well at an angle.
  5. The moment that kart hits the well, pushing the joystick very far to one direction.

If it worked, the player will hit the well hard enough to bounce off the its edge and into the air over the buildings. After going over the buildings, the player will fall into an infinite blue pit, and automatically be sent back to the beginning of the stage. (Note: The best player for this glitch is Tiptup.)
