Not bad. There's a solid core, even if the game never fully comes together outside of Temple Heights and most of Candy's Missions (those "Avoid All Obstacles" missions can update their home to the death barrier). Character picks are fun, and the Kremling OCs are great - wish they existed in more than this. It feels like there's a phantom game after the Kongas/Jungle Beat that should justify this game's existence; the state of Donkey Kong as a franchise in 2007 definitely didn't support a racing spin-off like this. But it's not bad.
