Diddy Kong Racing

Year of release: 1997

Preferred platform: N64

Donkey Kong's younger, cuter cousin took kart racing to new levels on the N64, adding planes and boats to the racing equation.

'Diddy' took full advantage of this with some excellent multi levelled tracks and power ups making for an excellent little racer.
