The Unreleased Donkey Kong Racing

"It's no surprise to anyone that this game was cancelled, as Rare left Nintendo shortly after the Gamecube's release to pursue greener pastures. Nevertheless, we can only hope that some of the ideas behind Donkey Kong Racing get incorporated into a future racing title. "



Donkey Kong Racing was meant to be a fully realized update to the formula created by Diddy Kong Racing on the N64. The game was supposed to feature several classic Donkey Kong characters, racing around at breakneck speeds on the backs of various animals. Rare's goal with the game was to create seamless, real-time worlds that blurred the definition of "race tracks." There was also some sort of system in place to upgrade your steeds by eating various food items scattered throughout the levels. "

@StevenUlyssesPerhero Lol, to your question "does mine carts count as animals?" the answer is No,

[StevenUlyssesPerhero]

@Darkdrago909 Yeah, that's all well and good, but it remains to be seen... Do minecarts count as animals?

[Darkdrago909]

@StevenUlyssesPerhero I'm not trying to hate on this game, i mean the gameplay is awesome, but its just weird that a monkey rides a Rhino, :\

[StevenUlyssesPerhero]

@Darkdrago909 Since Nintendo realized that there was a franchise in Donkey Kong independent of Mario and said to Rare "Yo, make a game from this shit!" and they did, and in that game, Donkey and Diddy Kong (No relation as far as we know) could ride on the backs of rhinoceroses, swordfish and I think some other animal that I can't quite remember. Do minecarts count as animals?

Now that Retro is considered the new Rare, I don't see why this game can't still be made.
