ITEMS
There are many types of items throughout the whole game of DKR. Below is a list and description of each item.
SPEED-INCREASING ITEMS
These are not for eating! Collecting these will increase your speed. When you get 10 bananas, you'll be at your maximum speed. You lose 2 bananas when you get hit by a missile, mine, or bubble. We are not filling up on bananas before a race!
Banana
These are on the course that can boost your speed for about 2 seconds. As you can see, there is a zipper for each vehicle. Just touch a part of it and you'll take off like a rocket! Just remember to face the right way when you do! To go through a hover or plane zipper, go right through them.

Zippers
BALLOONS
You'll find many balloons during a race, each color has a different item. You can only carry one at a time.
Collecting one balloon gives you one missile. To upgrade to a Homing Missile or 10-Shot Missile Pack, collect 2 or 3 red balloons in a row. It's best to shoot at a straightaway or upclose. Unless you have a homing missile.
Red Balloon
There are 3 types of boosts: An orange, blue, and purple boost. They temorarily increase your speed. The most powerful boost is the purple boost. When you use it, be ready for a kick in the tailpipe!
Blue Balloon
Droppers are weapons you lay on courses. You can get an Oil Slick to a Spiked Mine to a bubble. Droppers can even be on water. It is best to use these on tailgaters. Try putting these right behind an item so others can't see the dropper as they collect the item! The bubble is the best and might put someone in last place automatically.
Green Balloon
The 3 types of shields are an Alpha, Star, and Lightning. Shields protect you from everything. Anyone who touches your shield spins out of control! The Lightning Shield lasts the longest.
Yellow Trophey
Collecting 3 Rainbow Balloons will get you a Yellow, Red, and Green magnet. Yellow and Red pull you up to the vehicle ahead of you to their position while the green magnet will pull your target towards you.
Rainbow Balloon
You'll see these in Adventure Mode in the Silver Coin Chalenge races. Collect all 8 of these and finish in 1st place to complete a Silver Coin Challenge race.
Silver Coin
You'll see these in Adventure Mode. You'll need a certain amount of baloons to open doors. It's almost like money. You win a balloon when you win a race.
Gold Balloon
This is the trophy you would win if you win the Trophy Race.
