Diddy Kong Racing Walkthrough Pt 11: Vs. Tricky (2nd time)

This race can be a pain in the ass if you don't make the right moves at the start. There are a few tree trunks at the beginning of the race that Tricky will knock over after he passes by them. They cover about 90% of the track when they fall, so you must always be ahead or neck-to-neck with Tricky. He is also fast at the beginning, faster than you, however he slows down a tad when the track gets smaller.'

First, get a super boost at the start, but do NOT stay in the middle of the track. Veer to the left or right. Pick up a red balloon and fire a missile at Tricky to slow him down. Missing isn't really an option, as if you do, he'll probably get so far ahead you'll run into a fallen tree. If you succeed, veer to the left and pick up the boost. You should be ahead when the track gets smaller. If you aren't, restart.

Be sure to pick up boosts along the way. The shortcut isn't necessary, and if you don't have a boost, don't bother taking it. It is certainly helpful, however. There are more palm trees by the end of the track than there were in the first race.

Winning will unlock the Trophy Race for Dino Domain and you'll also get a piece of the Wizpig Amulet. Before we take on the Trophy Race, we'll find the Key for Dino Domain and play a mini-game.
