There was one huge reason I loved this more than Mario Kart. I loved the fact that items were put in specific places, and you had to strategize when to use them more than in Mario Kart. In last place in Mario Kart, get a star or lightning bolt to get back to first with little effort; in this game, you had to be skilled to get to first place from last. Are there any other racers like this with no car damage and similar power ups? The game also had a terrific single player.
I love the DS version... but I think they should have kept the races where you gather the silver rare coins, and not the tap on the coin with the stylus mode...
@duckpinbowler13 lmao, im 25 and still got this game cartridge... so dont criticize a game released before you born. Original music is always the best.
Absofrickenlutely the BEST level in the game. Killer Instinct Ultratech reference, EPCOT ball, 90 degree turns, colorful level design, best track theme. Star City > Rainbow Road
Are you guys into video ages? I love video gaes, I'a ager, would liek to talk to the rsb of the aging ciountiy. Get somebody that wanyts gaer, was bored of her.
@coolcarly25 I got the game on emulator like a month ago and the Octopus was no problem for me, then again, I didn't play it when I was little. I had trouble with the second Walrus race.
@04tm34l3 the rooster was an unlockable character in story mode, achieved by driving over a frog with a rooster head. the clock is the guy you race in time trails, and i assume he could either be unlocked by cheat code or beating the tt challenge for every map
@04tm34l3 because you might not have unlocked them, they're the two unlockable characters, you unlock the rooster named Drumstick by running over him in toad form when you get all the keys I think, and the clock named T.T you unlock by beating all his time trial ghosts, do a good enough time trial, and his ghost will appear, beat the ghost on every stage and you'll unlock him.
@PandaLea21 I didn't find out until two months ago when I finally beat that game, and Diddy Kong Racing the only game I got the day it came out. I about urinated in my chair the day I saw the light house fly off.
@shadowzapdos Yeah, and when people used to rent out the copy you used so when you rented it again they got further on your file and you were like.....Hey XD
@SonicCrakpot yeah except no one ever rented it out that much so yeah... everyone else rented the PS2 games like silent hill 3 and 4 and resident evil and conker's BFD
people are always talking about wii and ps3 and xbox 360, i have a 360 of my own but i still play diddy kong racing often because it has the best music of all time and it is the funnest game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this was the first game i ever played, my mom would own at this game too, she beat it once then when she found out she had to do it again backwards she was like "screw this"
The DS version track is easier it has an alternative entrance down and fogets about controlling in the bridge version also don´t forget about the Killer Instict logos here...
@xAfterDawnx Wow. It's one thing to have an opinion like that, but 94 thumbs up? Wow. I thought the DS version was pretty good. What made it suck for you?
hmmm.....i have the german version...is the music different or some more levels in the english version..i played this game nearly every day and i don´t remember this song...
Sweet tune 5 stars thanks for the upload its like your in a amusement park I like the ds version much better but this version is also sweet and great too
The drums remind me of the old SNES Donkey Kong games... anyway, I love this song! It's so catchy and cool, cause the classics are cool like that! Oh, and the DS versions are seriously messed up, cause nothing does cool like the classics!
I absolutely agree. This seems like a lesser-known fact among game developers nowadays. Music in games just don't seem like what they used to be (except for SSBB, they did an EXCELLENT job).
IMO the best future funland soundtrack. I love the drums!
