Unpopular opinion but I never found the greatness that many other gamers have found in this game. With that being said, this game is fun and offers a ton of content and variety starting with the obvious addition of other types of vehicles with boats and planes. Being a kart racing game at its core, I found the kart levels more fun, followed by airplane levels, and last boat levels which were a bit on the clunky side in terms of controlling and overall level design.

Graphics were great for the time, and the story-driven single-player mode added more weight to the game. There were a bunch of forgettable things in this game such as the "rest" of the characters (with the obvious exception of Banjo and Conker). Non-playable characters like TT and Taj also felt like run of the mill additions.

Overall, DKR is a fun kart racing game with a very ambitious setup but it does fall short in certain areas such as characters and some track designs.
