In the adventure mode, the player is placed on [[Timber's Island]] and tasked with collecting [[Golden Balloon]]s to access various challenges. There are a total of five worlds that can be accessed from the main Timber's Island hub, and each have four main race tracks, a [[trophy]] championship, a boss track, and - aside from the last one - a special battle minigame. Different vehicles are sometimes required for different tracks, and the player can change them at any time by speaking with [[Taj the Genie]], located in the center of the Timber's Island map. Each of the smaller worlds, meanwhile, instead has [[T.T.]] walking around the hub, who tells the player's progress when approached. | In the adventure mode, the player is placed on [[Timber's Island]] and tasked with collecting [[Golden Balloon]]s to access various challenges.

In races, [[banana]]s can be picked up to increase speed, while [[Weapon Balloon]]s provide items to use in the race. The color of the Weapon Balloon determines what item it will be, and collecting multiple of the same color in sequence improves the item's effects by up to a total of three levels. Collecting a balloon of another color cancels it out and replaces it with the new item. | |||
Golden Balloons can be found scattered on Timber's Island or won from races, either from tracks or from Taj on the island. All of the standard tracks have two Golden Balloons available: one from a standard race, and one from completing a [[Silver Coin]] collection challenge. The standard races must be completed first to race the world's boss, who then challenges the player to complete the Silver Coin races; after they are completed as well, the player can rematch the boss for a piece of the [[Wizpig amulet]]. The boss then challenges the player to complete the trophy race championship. Each of the first four worlds has a [[Wish Key]] hidden in one track which opens a gate to the respective world's battle minigame, which awards a piece of the [[T.T. amulet]]. | Golden Balloons can be found scattered on Timber's Island or won from races, either from tracks or from Taj on the island.
