Amazing Technicolor Racetrack: All 5 space levels are extremely colourful even just by the terrain.

It also explains why Drumstick was turned into a frog- he tried to beat Wizpig and lost. Their enjoyment is derailed when an evil, intergalactic, pig wizard named Wizpig arrives at the Island and attempts to take over after he conquered his own planet's racetracks.

All There in the Manual: If you didn't read the manual, then you probably wouldn't know that the island was owned by Timber's parents, who left it in his care when they went on vacation.

The Ahnold: Smokey the Dragon sounded a lot like this.

Affirmative Action Girl: In the original game, Pipsy was the Smurfette the remake added Dixie and Tiny, presumably to ease this somewhat (though the idea was actually to cover the holes left by Banjo and Conker).

Affably Evil: Most of the bosses in this game are actually very polite, even if you lose to them.

Acrofatic: Despite being a Fat Bastard and a literal pig, Wizpig is actually faster on foot than on any vehicle.

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. The game thinks you’ve crossed it much sooner than you actually have.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. The start/finish line trigger on Graveyard isn’t quite right either. Sixty Four is hoping to fix this in version 1.2. You’ll be able to play just fine, but the AI gets confused and ends up flying the wrong way or into walls. However, it’s worth noting that planes do not work correctly on Legend of Zelda tracks in version 1.1 of the mod.

You can use all vehicles on each track, except for Graveyard, which only allows the hovercraft. It often crashes, and trying to select certain tracks will cause the game to freeze. Bugs and limitationsĭiddy Kong Racing x Ocarina of Time is quite buggy in its current state. This track offers multiple routes, and at first it’s a tad confusing as to where you need to go.Īt the same time, having multiple routes does make it a bit more interesting than usual. It blends in so well that you might’ve thought it was always there. Sixty Four has also used the available space wisely to get the most out of each environment.ĭodongo’s Cavern and Lon Lon Ranch are circular tracks thanks to the inherent design.īut in Temple of Time, Sixty Four has added a side corridor. The Ocarina of Time tracks are very accurate recreations of their original locations for the most part. Otherwise, all the other tracks are there, although I couldn’t get Crescent Island to run on console. Therefore, you lose Ancient Lake, Whale Bay, Everfrost Peak and Boulder Canyon. Diddy Kong Racing x Ocarina of Time includes Dodongo’s Cavern, Lon Lon Ranch, Temple of Time, and Graveyard as playable tracks.Įach of these replaces the first track in each of Diddy Kong Racing’s domains.
