Diddy Kong
"Diddy Kong Racing" is a 1997 racing game for the Nintendo 64 developed by Rare. It is the first game to spin off from the "Donkey Kong Country" series. It currently stands as the Nintendo 64's sixth-most best selling game. A racing game like "Mario Kart 64", "Diddy Kong Racing" also has a distinctive adventure mode and allows players to choose between three different vehicle types; cars, planes, and hovercraft. This game debuts Banjo the Bear and Conker the Squirrel, who appeared later in their own franchise games. Banjo and Conker were replaced by Dixie Kong and Tiny Kong in "Diddy Kong Racing DS", an enhanced remake for the Nintendo DS released in 2007.
