This game is so slept on, especially when compared to Mario Kart 64. Unlike MK64, this game has an actual single-player campaign that's worthwhile to boot, hidden collectibles to find, challenging bosses, and its battle mode is just as solid as MK64's. It was even ahead of its time with the different vehicle types, which Sonic All Stars later became known for. DKR is the definitive cart racer for the 64 IMO.
Hugely underrated and better than Mario Kart 64 in every way.
I love any kart racer that A) Let's you reach really high speeds (which this game allows through the zipper technique) and B) Has a single-player mode with an overworld. This is just an incredibly solid kart racer with those two things, so of course I love it.
This is like the Majora's Mask of kart racers on the N64. It's good but people call it underrated to look cool. It's a pretty generic kart racer with some other vehicles added in that admittedly don't control very well.
this is just better mk64. still not great but so much better than that other piecea shit
O primeiro jogo de corrida da vida? AHAHA Talvez.
Quantas histórias e momentos com essa obra de arte.

Better than Mario Kart 64, ngl
Relentlessly fun. Though I forgot how short the tracks can be, every other aspect of this game is filled to the brim with enthusiasm. Wise's compositions for this will forever have a spot in my brain. I would love, love, love, love for Nintendo to bring this back in some form, as long as they preserve what made it so unique from other racing games at the time.
The madmen put a full single player story mode in a racing game!!!!!
diddy kong sucks but the game is weird and fun
I have more nostalgia for this one than Mario Kart 64, even if I know it's not as good, and I'm sure it's aged very poorly. Such fond memories of this game. The atmosphere was really weird, I loved exploring the hub area, having planes was great, the cast was a bunch of goobers. It had that same "scariness" that the movie Fantasia did to little kid me, if that makes sense to anyone.
Diddy Kong veio pra competir com Mario Kart e trouxe inovações muito bacanas em relação aos veículos diferentes, especialmente os veículos aéreos.
my cousin's house was bumpin whenever we turned this travesty on.
While this game isn't as good as Mario 64, it's not like it's a huge step down. The levels in this game are pretty good, and the challenge is outright brutal.
I would recommend if only because the plane racing is still quite a bit of fun.

The pinnacle of kart racing games. Sorry Mario Kart, you're fun but it's not the same, call me when you add Hovercrafts and Planes.
Every once in a while I have a dream where one of the fucked up original characters from this roster has their own actual game
unlocking TT is one of my great gamer achievements. it wasn't worth it.
tiddy kong
grueling. flawed. repetitive. also, one of my favorite racers of all time.
even with the overly difficult bosses and sometimes cruel placement of vital items, diddy kong racing is extremely satisfying to master and is filled to the brim with variety and fun

Collectibles? Story? Bosses? Planes? Boats? on my mario kart game? YES, nowadays this might not look like much but back at the 64 era, it was way ahead of its time. Even though not all ideas on this game landed perfectly, it was real impressive the amount of things they did with it. I did enjoy mario kart 64 more back in the day but looking back at it, this game was the superior one. Some really good music too. Rare was way too good back then.
Fuck Bumper.
All my homies hate Bumper.

Very strong game that time has started to forget.
Better than Mario Kart 64 in every conceivable way.
Can't wait to beat up ☆IKEARAGAO☆ in this game too!!
The music, the characters, the actually good "story" mode for a racing game, this is some good ass stuff and that isn't mentioning the fact that there are three vehicles for some sweet racing action. the best kart racer.
The 90s Kart Racing game that was so good, Mario took years to get over it, and Crash Bandicoot immediately ripped it off.
Una especie de Mario Kart pero más variado y menos pulido.
you know the racially insensitive elephant is actually a really cool guy he's just misunderstood.
Definitely one of the best kart racers due to how fun the single player adventure mode is. The track design, while not as memorable as Mario Kart’s, is a lot of fun and has a lot of variety due to the 3 different vehicle types. Another unique thing about this game is how the power ups work, there aren’t a lot of them, but you collect different power ups from different colored balloons instead of getting them at random, and you can upgrade your power ups by collecting multiple of the same type, which adds a layer of strategy. The single player is also way more difficult than you’d expect, but it’s never unfair and really gives you an incentive to learn the tracks and make use of every power up. There’s not a lot of issues I have with this game, but it could definitely be better.
I still remember as a kid my friend's mom teasing me for tilting my actual body when turning in this game lul
replayed it through an emulator in like 2014, it held up pretty well
