Diddy Kong Racing

Dizzy · 07-29-2008, 07:25 AM

Who doesn't love this game? One thing that appealed to me was the open exploration, which MK64 is so clearly missing. The DS version had some nice features, but somehow failed to live up to the original.

BTW, just what the hell is Bumper?

I haven't played that for ever. I've never played th DS version but the origanal was awesome.

SephirothKirby · 07-29-2008, 08:46 AM

I didn't play the DS version, what made it unable to live up to the N64 version?

I figured Online Play would help.

Also, Bumper is a Badger.

Dizzy · 07-29-2008, 12:21 PM

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure.

Maybe this should go in the Nintendo forum.

Maybe it shouldn't, because this DKR is an old game, and this is the retro forum.

I loved Diddy Kong Racing for N64. I never got very far, though. Maybe I shoudl get teh DS version or something.

Rainbow Dash · 07-29-2008, 01:57 PM

Retro Forum, eh?

Robotazy · 07-29-2008, 02:59 PM

This looks like the Mario Forum to me.

**X-3** · 07-29-2008, 03:46 PM

Haha, oh wow. I thought this was the Retro forum, being that it was just one space below it.

This would be a good topic for the Retro Forum, or the Nintendo forum, as Chunky suggested.

**Valigarmander** · 07-29-2008, 06:07 PM

This game roxxors.

I could never finish all those MOTHERF*CKING COIN CHALLENGES, though.

Blake · 07-29-2008, 08:20 PM

Yes this game was great. 'Jointventure' FTW. Me and my sister played this game many times.

For even better gameplay, it's real fun the play TRUE mirror mode.

What you do is just take a mirror and face it towards the TV. You then play the game through the mirror. Easier said than done. It takes about a half hour to get used to the reversed controls (right is left and left is right) and of course, the track appears to also be in the game's 'mirror mode.' Beat the entire game on mirror mode and then go back and play normally, heh.

Oh and of course this mirror mode works in Mario Kart or any other racing game for that matter(but I can't imagine doing it with games besides MK and DKR). 'True' mirror mode works espiecially well on Toad's Turnpike with the game's mirror mode when the cars come racing at you.

Fun, fun times.

^ Oh dude, that sound hard. xD

I'm so gonna try that this afternoon.

Seeking Attention · 07-30-2008, 02:49 PM

Why is this in the Mario forum? It's more retro/Nintendo forumish then Marioish.

Luigiman7 · 07-30-2008, 04:55 PM

you're late.

Why wasn't Donkey Kong in that game?

The game was originally going to be Donkey Kong Racing. My guess is that they used Donkey Kong so much up to that point it was a good move to thrust one of the supporting characters into the spotlight, so Diddy was as good as a choice as anyone.
