Planes are one of the three vehicles inDiddy Kong Racing and itsNintendo DS port, the other two being thecar andhovercraft. The plane is capable of flying up to higher locations that the car or hovercraft cannot reach normally, usually higher, alternate pathways. The plane can fly across nearly any terrain or obstacle. It has its own way of making a rocket boost. The pilot starts to go slow upside-down and then flips it fast and forward, unleashing teal fire and black smoke. Green fire and rainbow smoke are released if the A button is let go. Planes do not appear in any other games, though they were planned for the2001 and2003 versions ofDiddy Kong Pilot before becomingBanjo-Pilot.

Like the car and hovercraft, each character's plane had its own color inDiddy Kong Racing, but in the remake, every plane is colored yellow by default. DespiteKrunch's vehicle color being orange in the original version, his plane in-game seems to take on more of a dandelion hue. InDiddy Kong Racing DS, the player can enterTaj's Wishes Menu to customize the paint color of a plane and upgrade its speed, handling, and acceleration. However, altering the acceleration has no effect, as every plane has the same rate of acceleration regardless of which character uses it. The player can also create a unique, customemblem for the planes, similarly toMario Kart DS. The plane colors in the original versions are as follows:

Aside from traditional courses, planes are also used in theFire Mountain battle stage, the race againstSmokey, and the second race againstWizpig. Compared to the car and hovercraft, the plane is the least available in the courses, but is usually a default vehicle in courses where it does appear. It can only be used in 11 of the 20 courses, or 15 of the 24 courses in the Nintendo DS remake. Planes can be used in the following courses:
