- A great racing/adventure game"Diddy Kong Racing" is the only game of its kind. Unlike a lot of people might think, it's far from being a "Mario Kart 64" clone. It has all the great racing that you'll find in other racing games, but adds an adventure feel to it. Your goal is to get all the balloons and amulets in the game. You get balloons by winning races, but that's only the beginning. Once you win all the races in one of the worlds, you have to go race a huge boss. Once you outrace the boss, you then have to do the Silver Coin Challenge (find the silver coins in all the races and win the race). Then you must race the boss over again, but this time it will be twice as hard. Finally, after you do that, you've beaten that world, but you must get the gold in the Trophy Race.
There are a few worlds in "Diddy Kong Racing," and they're all huge. You will race in three different vehicles, a go cart, hovercraft, and an airplane. You also have weapons that you can use during all the races. There are different colored balloons, which will give you weapons such as missiles, oil slicks, magnets, and shields. In all of them, you can get powerups by getting more than one of the same colored balloon, in a row. For example, get a red balloon and you'll get a missile, but if you get another red balloon before you shoot that missile, you will get a powerup in the form of a homing missile that will chase your opponents down.
"Diddy Kong Racing" also has great replay value. There are two battle stages and two other cool bonus stages that you can find and play anytime, up to four players. As you find the racing and bonus stages, they will become available where you can play them anytime in multiplayer. There is also a Time Trial mode and there are two hidden characters that you can find. Pretty much, this game is overloaded in replay value and you'll never get tired of playing the multiplayer games. It's also fun to beat the game over and over. "Diddy Kong Racing" is not only a great racing game, it's a fun adventure. I recommend "Diddy Kong Racing" to anyone who has a Nintendo 64.
