While it’s nice to just race on some tracks in Mario Kart 64, I prefer the exploration Rare gave players with the hub world.
However, the things it does to expand upon this is what makes it a better, and in my opinion, a more fun game.įirst, I love the fact that it’s also an adventure game. Sure, Diddy Kong Racing is a kart racing game with similar start-up screens, similar play mechanics, and similar weaponry compared to its competition.
I suppose Diddy Kong Racing is a little me-too in a lot of aspects, but there is one characteristic I put above all else – how fun it is. I am generally harsh on games that act like they have their own identity, but are really just carbon copies of another idea. I have long been a supporter of original ideas. Some would claim Diddy Kong Racing to be a generic soda, while Mario Kart 64 would be the “original” Coke… but to me, the argument is more Pepsi vs. I’ve never taken the opportunity to shut down the notion that Mario Kart 64 is a better game, so allow me to do so with a simple metaphor. This is an argument I’ve only brought up with close friends, a couple of who completely agree with me.
I finally said it, and guess what? It feels good. Diddy Kong Racing is better than Mario Kart 64.
