Poor Bumper went flying a few times and just like with Krunch, there were a great many restarts. Bubbler dropped mines in his wake, so you had to try and get ahead of him as well as dodging his traps. Every boss in the game gets a head start on you, but at least Tricky only rushed forward. Did this go well?Įven out of water, Bubbler has a bit of an underwater effect when he speaks.īubbler proved a brutal opponent. Winning each race will net you a balloon to unlock other tracks, and the second run with the silver coin challenge will net you another one.Īnyway, Krunch managed to beat Tricky again with much difficulty, at which point he was rewarded with a piece of Wizpig’s amulet and offered a spot in the trophy race. Except in this case instead of one huge boss rush at the end, the worlds are split into two halves, marked by a race against that world’s boss. See, each of the first four worlds of Diddy Kong Racing has something of a re-fight mechanic like you would see in Mega Man. Once Krunch collected all 32 coins in the world, Tricky would face him again. Each of the four race tracks had eight silver coins that had to be collected before coming in first place. With much difficulty, Krunch managed to beat Tricky to the top of the spiral mountain (not that one) and he was offered the chance to take on the Silver Coin Challenge. Man, Krunch is not suited for sharp turns. There were an awful lot of resets here too. This doesn’t actually have any impact on their performance as far as I’m aware, I just thought it was funny. And so I began my strange little relay system, looking for the character who, logically, would be least fit in each of the environments. So this time around, I thought it might be nice to try this through a sort of relay system and get a feel for five different characters instead of sticking with one all the way through. I think I swapped between Banjo (yes, that Banjo), Conker (again, yes, that Conker), and Krunch. Now, I usually only stuck with one or two characters whenever I played. *NOTE: I have not been paid to say the above statement regarding the EON Super 64. This thing is amazing and I have never been so thrilled to be able to record N64 footage, be it video or stills. And since I picked it up at PAX East before everything locked down, I decided to try out my new EON Super 64 adapter. I actually had a dream the other day where I was racing the first boss as Krunch the Kremling and as soon as I finished up Dreamfall the other day, I swapped out my Xbox and N64 and made it a point to play this first. I grew up on this game, struggled a lot back then, and now I’m back to talk about it. Eight characters (apparently ten if you can unlock the other two), each with their own hidden speed, acceleration, and handling stats, and twenty race courses spread across five worlds. So Diddy Kong Racing is a pretty simple game. Maybe it’s the little brother or player 2 thing. This came out when I was a kid and, having grown up with Donkey Kong Country, I always loved Diddy Kong just as much as I do Luigi. Mario Kart is one, and another is Diddy Kong Racing. Personally, I tend to shy away from sports games, multiplayer-only titles, and a lot of racing games. For instance, it looks like the track 19 ditty (sndlap) would've been played at the start of lap 2, and track 02 (finlp_1b) would've been played at the start of the final lap.Everybody has their preferences when it comes to the games they like.
