This is my playthrough of "Diddy Kong Racing" for the Nintendo 64.
I'm doing character playthroughs. That means I'm using every character on a seperate playthrough.
I'm playing as Timber. He is a tiger whom his parents left in charge of their home island. He's my favorite character. He may be handsome, but I don't prefer him over Diddy, like most people do.
Next character playthrough is Banjo.
Previous character playthrough was Conker.
Part 1 of 22:
- Story Intro
- Timber's Island
- Ancient Lake
- Fossil Canyon
- Jungle Falls
- Hot Top Volcano
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Timber's stats
- Weight group: Middle
- Acceleration: 3 ~ Average
- Turning: 2.5 ~ Slightly below average
- Top Speed: 3.5 ~ Slightly above average
Timber's acceleration is average, and his top speed is slightly above average. However, his handling is slightly below average. His top speed is slightly better than Diddy's. Powersliding is mostly needed. Braking skills are probably needed as well. If you're skillful enough, you should manage just fine as Timber.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How the game works:
AIs cheat by using a power up whenever you do, as well as honking the horn. 60% of the time, there is always a chance that you will be hit a homing missile. If you get enough distance in 1st place, the AIs will stop hitting Zippers behind you.
Rules of play:
- No race losses
- No restarts (even after getting the key needed to unlock battle stages)
- Hits no Zippers in normal races and silver coin challenges
- Uses no blue balloon boosts in normal races and silver coin challenges
PLAYTHROUGH NOTE: I know I've done a no damage playthrough of this game as Diddy Kong, Tiptup, and Pipsy, but that's because they were recommended characters, including T.T., even if he's top tier. Since the other characters, including T.T., don't have handlings like Diddy, Tiptup, and Pipsy's, I'm doing playthroughs with taking damage, regardless of how good I am. But the rules that were applied from playing as Diddy, Tiptup, and Pipsy still applies for the other characters. I just don't have 'Takes no damage' listed above.
NOTE: I tried not to use Zippers or blue balloon boosts for the normal races and silver coin challenges, like in my original walkthrough. The only time I use them is when I'm getting the key to unlock a battle stage, and when I'm doing the trophy race. 10 bananas are more than enough to win normal races and silver coin challenges. Yes, bananas do increase the top speed of the character that you're using.

@indiigo14 If I didn't know any better, I'd say Timber is your favorite character.
