    I never played Diddy Kong Racing but I keep hearing people shower it with praise. What makes it so good and different from Mario Kart?

    it has a hub world (in 199X idont remembr when it came out)

    very cozy

    also it has planes and boats so its basically mario kart 8

    it’s more of an adventure then just a kart racer like mario kart (although it’s a typical shallow nintendo story lol). has a hub world to traverse

    it has different vehicles - plane, kart, hover boat

    has unique challenges in the story that arent just races where the goal is to come in first. for example, one “race” in the story isn’t really a race but you are in an arena style map and the goal is to collect and bring a certain amount of dinosaur eggs to your base before the other racers, but you can steal their eggs and they can steal yours. plenty of other unique types of matches throughout the game as well

    has boss battles

    racing is pretty smooth, wayyyyy less items to completely obliterate you if you are in first. there are only a few item types, but each item type has 3 upgrades

    i mean a lot of it for me has to do with nostalgia i’m sure lol, but the game is soo good

    yeah nintendo lucky they get away with releasing the same s*** for 32 tracks for mario kart because the game looks nice and s***

    if they were orced to innovate they would have a cool campaign too by now

    Is you alive brodie @neodogged Thread title getting dusty and we got fam sneezing out here. That NEW Direct was almost 3 months ago now.

  • May 3, 2021

    diddy Kong racing is an all-time classic

    it’s like the super Mario 64 of racing games because the hub world is huge, has secrets and makes progression/exploration more rewarding

    icicle pyramid was my favorite multiplayer map

    imagine if diddy Kong racing got the new Pokémon snap treatment

    This year is Donkey Kong’s 40th anniversary (on top of Zelda and Metroid 35, Pokémon 25). I wonder if they’ll give us any new DK content soon.

    Hell yeah

    Even though @Chilla aint ever played Diddy Kong Racing 😒. That would be dope if he was OP. He legit had the nicest OP on KTT1

    Or @isellpixels

    Are any of you guys down?

    Honestly we really should get a new OP soon

    Especially with E3 right around the corner. We need the thread updated more then once a season lol

    Never really came to my attention when I was a kid I had Mario Kart 64 and thought that was all the racing I needed at that age.

    I would be down to become OP again but I don’t know who handles that stuff on KTT2, and I’d preferably want @neodogged to be notified so I don’t steal his spot without him giving me the green light.

    You right, let's keep it this way for the rest of the year. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

    For sure. Man we got E3 coming up next month and we've got Switch Pro rumors and BotW 2 and probably several other heavy hitters coming up. If the thread title is still stuck at "NEW Direct!" then we gon lose all kinds of exposure in the video game section

    Tbh thats on them not checking the "Nintendo thread" pinned in this sxn, an updated title wouldnt change that. We should put a list of games to play in OP tho so maybe people stop asking for recommendations (and also stop saying switch has no games )
