you really didn't have to post a game tutorial here. Honestly, you're acting like a noob again. Shut up or leave.
Oi, he's allowed to post a thread like this. Quit being so aggressive, this isn't playground.
I've never had a chance to play it but according to everyone I know who's played it this is a great game, save for the race with Wizpig.

Yeah, I really like this game. Wizpig is a real pain, though.

I find it strange they put a character from a M rated game in a E rated game....

*woah a srs post from mr as holy sh***
at the time this game was made the game conkers was in was also in development, but it was originally supposed to be a light hearted kid-friendly game, but apparently they felt the need to make it more adult so it'd get more money (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RatedMForMoney)

But on the bright side, it did give us one of the most hilarious games on the N64   XD

The original Diddy Kong Racing was my first game for N64. It introduced us to Banjo, Conker, Krunch (later used in some non-Rareware developed Nintendo titles like the Mario soccer games) and Tip Tup (minor character in the original Banjo-Kazooie). I absolutely loved this game! While most people brag about Mario Kart 64, I've always felt as though this was the superior game. The characters were all 3D models, the upgradable items system was ingenious, and the adventure mode made single player more satisfying.

The DS remake was a huge letdown. The added touch screen/microphone features were poorly implemented, Conker and Banjo were removed, the items upgrades worked in a worse way (Ex. Red Balloon--1 missile->5 missiles->Homing missile), the boss battles were changed in such a way that racing was no longer the focus, and the new voices for all the characters sucked.

I think that's because they were made by Rare, they lost the rights to them.

The same people that made Banjo-Kazooie made CBFD.....that's why they hid so much junk in B-K.
Stupid Rare.

Anybody actually own Conker's Bad Fur Day? It's one of the few games for N64 that is hard to find... Not necessarily rare like Clayfighter 64: Sculptor's Cut, but just hard to obtain because so many people want it for the gameplay.

No. I want an answer to my question, damnit.

I have an N64, i don't have the game cause i don't want it not that i couldn't find it.

I have the DS remake.
Personally, I love this game. Especially the custom track option.

I WOULD have T.T., but no... I'm just terrible at driving the hovercraft :/
Title: Re: Diddy Kong Racing
Post by: Badnik96 on June 21, 2012, 09:20:18 PM
Yeah 027 had a lot of headaches over the hovercraft too.
Title: Re: Diddy Kong Racing
Post by: J on June 22, 2012, 12:01:18 AM
I'm think I've beaten T.T. on every single course....
....
Except Whale Bay.
Which is the ONLY pure-hovercraft stage in the game.
Add to it, T.T.'s stats are terrible, and is the only real prize you get for beating said trials :/

Oh, and I just remembered....
On my N64 that I got a while ago, I have a copy of this game for it(Not motivated to playthrough all of it again)
The advantage with that, is easier multi-player :3

Rare made the port as well, but yeah, those characters were removed due to licensing issues. Microsoft owns the publishing rights to the Rare characters, so they had to remove them from the joint venture with Nintendo.
