And then (yes, there's more), you have to beat all of your opponents in a sequential series of races (called the Trophy Race), which later on helps you to seek out new worlds. This time, the bosses are much, much harder. And as if that isn't enough, once you've beaten all the bosses, you go back and race them a second time to win pieces of an amulet. Here, you collect the eight silver coins dotted around the track and take first place. Once beaten, the boss grants a second new mission - a Silver Coin Challenge. Success reveals a boss, who is then raced against. These are accessed by winning straight races. All 30 courses (five worlds) are built perfectly into a giant Overworld, and although many of the courses are short, there are lots of objectives besides just straight racing that make them versatile and deep.įor a start, there are boss characters. What's most exciting about Diddy Kong Racing is its consistent, organized, strategic gameplay. That said, it's the best kart game we've ever seen. The game lacks the originality of Rare's Blast Corps, and is deep down, a Mario Kart 64 clone. It's Rare's version of Disneyland, just in time for the winter holiday. It feels almost cynically calculated in its look, feel, delivery, and even, ironically, in its timing. Diddy Kong Racing is an excellent follow-up to the somewhat controversial Mario Kart, improving on all of the game's weaknesses and inventing a few new additions of its own.ĭiddy Kong's main drawback is that it's numbingly cute, certainly too cute for its own damn good. Everyone with their head screwed on will do just that, and frankly we're glad. The game beams with bright primary colors and cute characters, and it screams to be compared with the game from which it originated, Mario Kart 64.
