'''Diddy Kong Racing''' is a kart racing game for the [[Nintendo 64]]; released in 1997 it became the fastest selling video game of all time, selling 800,000 copies in two weeks. The game is [[Rareware]]'s take on the ever popular kart racing genre, popularised by [[Super Mario Kart]] on the [[SNES]], and includes a number of Rare's signature characters. What sets it apart from the traditional kart racer is its adventure mode, where players drive, hover or fly through a series of worlds, unlocking subsequent courses as they complete those prior. The game features twenty racing tracks, four battle arenas and a number of boss challenges whereby the player must beat a single island denizen in a one-on-one race. | |||
== | ==Story== | ||
Diddy Kong Racing begins with an evil, space-faring pig named Wizpig invading the peaceful Timber's island where the game's main characters reside. In order to defeat Wizpig the allied heroes must complete a series of races in the island's varied domains, each one culminating in a challenge from the area's boss. Timber Island's greatest racer, Drumstick, challenged Wizpig and failed, being transformed into a frog as punishment and leaving the island's fate to those less suited. | |||
