Diddy Kong Racing's Individual Level leaderboards have been around for quite a while now, but not all of DKR's content has been available on it. This game presents a wide variety of unique challenges that are all required to be completed for full-game RTA runs, but we've never before hosted a place to track and compare the best times for every challenge in the game.

Today, that changes. Welcome to the new Levels leaderboards! Here's all the new stuff in detail.

Change notes:

• All Time Trial runs have been archived. Go to dkr64.com to see time trials!
• Vehicle specific levels have been archived in favor of IL subcategories. Click into a level to see separate categories for each vehicle.
• Silver Coin Challenges now have their own subcategory on every track in the game! (Adventure 2 coins is not yet implemented.)
• Magic Key races now have their own subcategories on Ancient Lake, Crescent Island, Snowball Valley, and Boulder Canyon.
• In Bounds for Glitchless Any% now have their own subcategories on Hot Top Volcano, Windmill Plains, and Spaceport Alpha.
• Wizpig 1 and Taj Challenges in Car, Hover, and Plane now have 3-lap and 1-lap categories. These races are essentially time trials, making 1-lap runs a valuable category to keep track of.
• Tricky the Triceratops now has a Glitchless category with Tricky Skip banned.
• Bubbler the Octopus 1 and 2 and Bluey the Walrus 1 and 2 now have their own subcategories.
• Wizpig 2 and Smokey the Dragon now have an In Bounds subcategory.
• Fire Mountain, Darkwater Beach, Icicle Pyramid, and Smokey Castle have been added as new levels! These categories will each be frame counted to ensure competitive leaderboards, as the minigames do not offer a timer.
• Many runs current and obsoleted have been moved over into the correct new level categories. Congrats to those reclaiming old WRs!

In total, these changes added up to around 37 new categories on our leaderboards. That's a lot of content! And it was a lot of work to get all of our current and obsoleted runs moved over into the new level categories. So please, if you find that one of your old runs was moved into the incorrect category, reach out to the mod team! We want our boards to be as accurate and as organized as possible.

Sometimes however, organization is not completely in our control. Speedrun.com's Level board does not discriminate against subcategories within the levels themselves. This causes a frustrating little issue on the Levels page, where subcategories that are faster than the default category will show up as being in first place...

Take Frosty Village for example.

Leah here has the fastest default vehicle time in Car with a 59.40. However, her Plane time is faster at 55.63. Even though these are completely different categories, the site does not consider them to be different and displays them both at the top. MorKs run in "3rd Place" here is also a Plane run.

While this is unfortunate, and completely out of our control, the true leaderboards still work great, and this format for our levels is the one that makes the most sense for our boards.

That's all we have to update you on for now. The new level boards are OPEN for submissions, so please feel free to submit any and all of your Silver Coin, Key, and In Bounds times!

Thanks!
