Item Description
Car, hovercraft or plane: in Diddy Kong Racing the vehicle is a choice you make on track after track, and that one idea is what made Rare's Nintendo 64 racer feel like so much more than a Mario Kart rival. Diddy Kong Racing DS is Rare's own 2007 remake, published by Nintendo and rebuilt around the dual screens and stylus rather than simply ported.
The heart of it is still the Adventure mode. A bloated space pig named Wizpig has seized Timber's Island, and with help from Taj, the island's elephant genie, you race through themed worlds like Dino Domain, Snowflake Mountain, Sherbet Island and Dragon Forest, collecting golden balloons to open new courses. Each world builds to a one-on-one boss race against a giant rival, from Tricky the triceratops and Bluey the walrus to Bubbler the octopus and Smokey the dragon, and piecing together Wizpig's amulet leads to a showdown with the pig himself, with Future Fun Land and the tougher Adventure 2 still waiting beyond.
The roster got a shake-up for the DS. Banjo and Conker sit this one out, replaced by Tiny Kong and Dixie Kong, and Taj and Wizpig join T.T. and Drumstick as unlockable racers, with Krunch, Pipsy, Tiptup, Bumper and Timber ready from the start. Rare packed in DS-specific extras too: Balloon Touch Challenges that have you pop golden balloons with the stylus, new tests from Taj, four brand-new tracks to unlock, a billboard editor for adding your own artwork to the courses, and a sound recorder for making your own effects. Up to eight players can race together over local wireless.
Reviewers in 2007 were split on some of the new stylus gimmicks, but the racing underneath is the same smart, collect-everything design that made the original a holiday smash in 1997, with three vehicles that each handle in their own way and courses built to test all of them. It is also the only official remake the game has ever received, which makes it the way to take Timber's Island on the road and a fascinating look at how Rare reworked one of its own hits.
