Trying to play what is apparently the best racing game ever.

Diddy Kong Racing
Thanks Microsoft and Rare for ensuring that we never see an update to this one. Unlike every other Kart ripoff this works because of the different race styles.

I honestly didn't even know I had this @darthsmeagol. And it's in like perfect mint condition too.

Come on now, you had to see this answer coming! 😂
Please let me show off that Pipsy is my favourite! 🙏
Though TBH, I'd get ALL the taglines! 😁

Sadly, I have low expectations of this actually happening. Maybe if stupid Nintendo finally came to their senses and brought the GOAT racing game to NSO, the admins would finally answer my prayers...

Honourable mention - Multiversus. Mainly because I think it'd be cool to have a Bugs Bunny Main or Gizmo Main tagline! And if the rumour of the Animaniacs coming to the game is true, I will most definitely want that one!

Hooray!!! I got my "N64: a visual compendium" from @bitmapbooks today! Of all of their books, this one is definitely the one that interested me the most! I have such fond memories of the N64 as several of my all-time favourite games are N64 games!

And this book sure didn't disappoint as it's freaking incredible! It's so well designed and it's jam-packed with very interesting info and interviews about the N64 as well as a whole bunch of games.
I've already read about more than a dozen of the games in this book, but I had to start with Diddy Kong Racing (I do have a reputation to maintain 😂)! I'm looking forward to reading all the articles next.

A special thanks to @seth for trading prizes with me - proving yet again that C3 is the best place on the web!

Diddy Kong Racing
I've never met a person that didn't enjoy this game. This game had 20 levels that could be completed in a kart, raft, or airplane. That would be difficult today to create such encompassing levels. I'm hopeful for a one day sequel or at least bring it to the Switch Expansion.

I'd say I've actually put more time into this than any Mario Kart. Our s such a good racing game, and it deserves to be brought back, either through the Switch expansions as a port, or a fully realized new version!

Diddy Kong Racing
This one holds a special place in that it was the first N64 game I was able to really play through. While the racing mechanics may not have been quite as refined as Mario Kart 64 (and even that is debatable), it had a 1-2 player adventure mode that was unmatched and a choice of vehicles to use was also something MK hadn't gotten to yet. This is at the top of my wishlist for an HD remaster and/or addition to N64 Online.

Diddy Kong Racing
Gotta say this was probably the superior Kart racer on the N64. Between the adventure mode and the battle mode, the different modes of travel, and the map design and music, I can't say there's much that could be improved. Some of those bosses straight up cheated, though!

This is really tough for me to answer as there are several games that hold a special place in my gaming nostalgia memory bank. This is the first N64 game I ever played and owned. While the mechanics don't quite hold up decades later, the fact that you could have a racing game that also let you explore an overworld and the tracks themselves was a wonder to me. That really tapped into my love for platformers.

Ask me again in a month and it could be @donkey-kong-country-2-diddys-kong-quest or @banjo-tooie or even @donkey-kong-64

One of the best ever. Loved playing this as a kid for the 64.

Scavenger Hunt: Electricity

Diddy Kong Racing
Surely you knew I was going to pick a Rare game…
But not just a Rare game, but 4 Rare games (since that’s how many photos I can use in a post)!
1) Diddy Kong Racing - the electrifying course that is Spacedust Alley! And for good measure, I tried to capture as many 3s as I could in the screenshot!
2) Donkey Kong 64 - Cranky’s Lab has electricity going up and down that spiral thing.
3) Banjo-Tooie - in Grunty Industries, you have to find several batteries to unlock different areas of the map.
4) Donkey Kong Country 3 - probably the most annoying DKC level ever! The lightning bolts are unpredictably random!

Rare had some absolutely great codes in their various games, like DK mode and paintball mode for Goldeneye.
But their best code had to be JOINTVENTURE in Diddy Kong Racing. DKR's adventure mode was awesome! But to be able to play the adventure mode with a friend just made the game even more incredible! @mariomaestro and I have beaten this game together 3-4 times over the years!

Honourable mention as well for the various codes for the Rogue Squadron series!

Diddy Kong Racing
This is quite simply the best racing game of the n64 era. Being able to have 3 different types of vehicles on the same course was a game changer. The characters are fun, the races are well balanced, and the music is especially catchy. Years later it still holds up.

My friends and I used to get into massive multiplayer contests that would stretch on into the wee hours of the morning. For some reason this game doesn't get repetitive or too frustrating. The game also leaves enough room to grow and improve. I am looking forward to getting back into it now that I am older and (hopefully) wiser.
