| Description DIDDY KONG RACING may have the Technicolor fantasy backgrounds and cute characters (like Timber and Conker) from a child's daydream, but this is no playground. Only consistently good and strategic play will win and advance your chosen cutie. There are 30 courses over five different happy-time worlds, all part of a giant Overworld. Racing is only part of the player's challenges, which include boss characters to defeat, stacks of silver coins to collect, multicolor balloons to snag, and yellow floating bananas to gobble up. After achieving success in a series of straight races, you then have to complete missions handed out by the pesky bosses. Each mission is harder, and after you manage to collect enough trophies for them you still have to race cute opponents in a sequential series of races to complete and win the Trophy Race. But there's help in the form of cool new weapons and vehicles, including a plane and a hovercraft. The game is beautifully rendered in all its bubble gum glory, and play is enhanced by the development of Realtime Dynamic Animation, which enables polygons to be more flexible and cover more area of Overworld. Special Features DIDDY KONG RACING is a Technicolor blast of adventure and racing featuring cute characters, great karts like a car plane or hovercraft, dozens of single-player and multi-player modes, evil bosses and challenging missions

Top Reviews  Excellent Racing Platformer 10 of 11 people found this review helpful. It isn't common to see a game directed towards a pre-teen audience be as explosively fun and popular as Diddy Kong Racing. Unlike Mario Kart 64, this game features something unique to other racing games: a well detailed adventure mode. In fact it's extremely similar to 3D platformers such as Super Mario 64 or Banjo-Kazooie. You drive around the beautifully rendered 3D world, find Levels (or "domains"), and then within those domains, you must race and win. The object of the game is to collect Gold Balloons (similar to Power Stars in SM64 or Jiggies in Banjo-Kazooie), which can be obtained by winning races. Some of the later courses in the game require a certain amount of Gold Balloons in order to access them. The game has bosses that you must defeat, powerups you can use, and characters you meet to help you on your quest. Although this is a racing game, I would consider it closer to a 3D Platformer, and a great one at that. Definitely pick up this title. Review ID: 10000000001570989 Was this review helpful?

This game was very good and I love the Battles, but i just think that they were trying to make another part of Mario Kart and that wont happen, not unless you have the Mario part.
