Diddy Kong Racing was a popular racing game for the Nintendo 64. It involved various characters from the Donkey Kong series such as Diddy Kong and Crunch.
There are three ways to race: airplane, kart, and hovercraft. Each track requires a different vehicle. Tracks can only be accessed through the acquisition of golden balloons by winning races or completing tasks. Once each race in an area is completed, a bonus challenge will be accessed, such as racing a triceratops. To access each world and its tracks, you must drive, fly, or sail to the desired area.
The character Conker was later used in the adult game Conker's Bad Fur Day and could not be transferred to the DS port.
Diddy Kong Racing DS is a remake of this game released for the Nintendo DS.
