Diddy Kong Racing Nintendo Retrospective

Diddy Kong Racing focuses on high-speed, entertaining racing action as well as a large dose of adventure and exploration. Diddy Kong and seven other characters will race through 20 beautiful 3-D courses on one of three vehicles: a cart, hovercraft or plane.

Diddy Kong Racing also features Rare’s proprietary Real-Time Dynamic Animation Technology (RDA). This programming technology allows the game to include large, colorful and highly textured characters in a massive environment. Real-Time Dynamic Animation Technology squeezes the most out of the Nintendo 64’s hardware, allowing for environment mapping and specular highlighting whenever appropriate.

Diddy Kong Racing also features a Versus Mode that allows two to four players to compete using any combination of vehicles. A variety of scenarios in Versus Mode make for even more depth of game play.
