THE RUMOR ZONE Your Source For all the fake stuff about DKR that has been tossed around. PLAY AS WIZPIG True! See Section 13 Use the Gameshark and there is a code to enter to be wizpig. Must have updated gameshark! PLAY AS TAJ False! See Section 13 It Was Rumored That Taj would be a playable character after beating the Mystery Times A.K.A High Speed Racing Times.

STRATEGIES (DIFFICULTY) * Easy-mid ** Medium *** Mid-Hard **** Hard ***** Expert (ADVENTURE 1) DINO DOMAIN * SNOWFLAKE MOUNTAIN ** SHERBET ISLAND * DRAGON FOREST *** FUTURE FUN LAND * BATTLE STAGES * THROGHY RACE * BOSSES ** (ADVENTURE 2) DINO DOMAIN ** SNOWFLAKE MOUNTAIN *** SHERBET ISLAND ** DRAGON FOREST **** FUTURE FUN LAND ** BATTLE STAGES ** THROGHY RACE ** BOSSES *** World 1: DINO DOMAIN See Section 6 The best strategy that can be given for Dino domain is to stay on the road and use boosts, and the road jets as much as possible. World 2: SNOWFLAKE MOUNTAIN See Section 6 Stay on path don't slip off and use weapons on the opponents to take your lead. World 3: SHERBERT ISLAND See Section 6 This one, rainbows is the best technique, use a rainbow to catch up to an opponent and make a quick comeback. World 4: DRAGON FOREST See Section 6 this one use everything you can muster. Take em out with weapons, rainbow, boosts. World 5: FUTURE FUN LAND See Sections 3,6,7 This futuristic world is the easiest & the senery is very cool. The Levels are fairly Easy. Use T.T, Or Pipsy for most of the levels, and don't make to sharp of turns when using the plane. BEATING WIZPIG THE FIRST TIME See Section 7 Use a boost at the beginning and try to stay one step in front of him, hit most or all of the zippers along the way. And let him bump into you this will make you boost farther and faster. Wizpig cant win if your stuck in his path. This is a very good tactic at beating wizpig. Remember Wizpig is a lot faster than you or is that an ululation Pipsy is a sure fire way to beat wizpig. Use her or fail miserably but you'll still need good and sharp reflexes to pull this one off. TT's the best character on the island if you can get him old wizzy will be very easy indeed But if you don't have TT then Pipsy is the key. Also remember Practice Makes Perfect. BEATING WIZPIG THE SECOND TIME See Section 7 This for the most part is a little harder than the first wizpig race. Try and avoid hitting the asteroids and ledges. Pick up the Blue balloon that is wedged between the wall and the pillar and is located after the start, just as you go under the first ledge use the boost from the balloon and overtake wizpig, pick up the yellow balloons, power up and if wizpig tries to get in front of you (fire). As you enter the throne room get to the top to avoid being hit by lasers then at the end quickly fly into the corridor. Use the same strategy for all 3 laps. And if your hit by an asteroid hope you have a boost to make a come back. If you have TT of Course use him, but if you don't once more use Pipsy. STRATEGY - WITH CODES See Section 1 Use OFFROAD so you don't slow down & JOINTVENTURE so there's two racers that are on the same team you and your friend. This is mainly good on Track racing such as in all the worlds. Not the bosses. 10. GAMESHARK CODES Must Use updated version of gameshark to work.
