'''Wish Keys''',<ref>''Diddy Kong Racing DS'' instruction booklet, page 11.</ref> originally referred to as '''keys'''<ref>''Diddy Kong Racing'' instruction booklet, page 17.</ref> or '''Gold Keys''',<ref>Leung, Jason, Pelland, Scott and Shinoda, Paul. ''Diddy Kong Racing'' Player's Guide. Page 19.</ref><ref>Prima Path. ''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 32.</ref> are a set of four [[key]]s that appear in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. Each Wish Key is hidden in a racetrack of all four worlds and unlocks the Challenge Level door of its respective world. After each key is retrieved, the character can choose to either win or quit the race.

All four keys are large golden keys in the original version. Their role was slightly changed in the DS remake, where each Wish Key unlocks a [[Wish Race]] against [[T.T.]] Each one also received their own redesign except for the one of [[Dragon Forest]]. Most of their redesigns are based on their respective world theme. The [[Dino Domain]]'s key has a skull design, [[Snowflake Mountain]]'s key is made of ice, and [[Sherbet Island]]'s key resembles a golden anchor.
