The remake would ultimately be Rares last project related to the Donkey Kong franchise as a whole. The remake includes several new characters, a huge host of new vehicle upgrades, new items, an entire new world, new challenges, a somewhat unexpected "light-gun shootout" mode for each track, new music, track creation, new personalization modes. In 2007, Rareware remade the original, this time for the Nintendo DS. The plane can fly, but adding a third dimension to the race naturally makes some things more difficult.Ĭombined with a unique items system, the addition of bosses, a unique "Silver Coin Challenge" mode, and various different types of "battle," Diddy Kong Racing is actually fairly different from Mario Kart.The hovercraft can go over water or lava, but is squirrelly and difficult to control.The car is the standard vehicle, and the easiest to control, but can't navigate different terrains very well.While the tracks in Mario Kart have little in common with one another, the worlds in Diddy Kong Racing (which also served as the "cups") actually have themes to them.Īlso, David Wise, the composer for DKC, provides the game's music. While the original Diddy Kong Racing was, essentially, a capitalization on the Mario Kart formula, it was unique among kart racers at the time because it actually has a story mode, and even has a colorful Hub Level that connects all the differently-themed levels. With the help of his friends (and a Kremling who snuck along for the ride), Diddy (and Timber) set out to rescue the island by racing. Specifically, by racing each other, to gain gold balloons, to be able to race his minions, to claim pieces of his amulet, to open the pathway to his hideout, so then they can race him.
Timber's island home is in trouble-an evil sorcerer FROM SPACE named Wizpig has landed on the island from his UFO, and has claimed it for his own! The only way to oust the foul creature is by. While lounging at his pad and eating bananas, Diddy gets a message from his far-off pal, Timber the Tiger.
A Mascot Racer spin-off of Donkey Kong Country (sort of) originally released for the Nintendo 64, Diddy Kong Racing puts DK's pal Diddy in the spotlight once more.
