Diddy Kong Racing is a fun racing game for the Nintendo 64 game console. It was made by Rareware. This game was the first spin-off from the popular Donkey Kong Country series. It was released on November 14, 1997, in North America, and on November 21, 1997, in Japan and Europe.
How to Play the Game
Diddy Kong Racing has gameplay that is similar to Mario Kart 64. It also has a special adventure mode. In this mode, you explore different worlds. Each world has several race tracks, a battle area, and a race against a boss.
You can choose to use a car, a hovercraft, or a plane. Some tracks might make you use a specific vehicle. Each track has boosters that make you go faster. You can also collect balloons that give you an item to use during the race.
You can choose from 10 different characters to play as. Two of the game's characters, Conker and Banjo, later became stars in their own games. Conker went on to star in Conker's Bad Fur Day, while Banjo starred in Banjo-Kazooie.
