Diddy Kong Racing was one of my favorite games as a kid. I remember the anxiety WizPig gave me when he was stomping up behind me on the first race. Lol

"I'm VERY excited for more" : blankest face ever. 100% thab, approved.

I just realized, if Thab posts one of these videos each friday, so once a week, it's gonna be 394 weeks until all the N64 games will have been finished and turned into a video. At this pace, this is a journey that will last more than 7.5 YEARS. Incredible.

This was one of the first games I bought in 1997 when I got the N64. I also had the player's guide and, watching this video, made me realize just how much tougher this game would have been without that. I don't know if I would have discovered some of the vital secrets like letting off the gas right before hitting a boost or the location of all the keys (which wasn't even shown in this review). It also told how to do a really tight turn (I think A, B, R, and a turn direction) which is absolutely vital on the silver coin races. Seeing him drive straight into the water after getting one of the silver coins made me wonder if he even knew about it because a tight turn can save you in those moments.

I haven't played this game since the late 90s but hearing him say how difficult he found some of the courses (I remember Greenwood Village silver coin and Wizpig race 1 very vividly) validates my accomplishments as a 12-year-old beating this game 100%.

The multi-player levels were so much fun. I absolutely miss the hell outta this game

8:26 yes, it is a design choice, the mines he lays wouldn't do anything on a huge track if you get ahead of him. with laps they can still hit you a lap ahead

I remember as a kid I never beat wiz pig the first time, so when I revisited the games like 5 years ago I was throughly surprised to find out there was a 5th world, Amazing game! Nothing but Bangerz from Rare back then

Love this game, I wish they would remake it for Switch or something

[Yewtewba]

I never could beat all the time trials to unlock TT. I did love using Drumstick the rooster though, unlocked much more easily by running over a frog that had a rooster comb.

As for Wizpig, I found the first race super hard and the second almost trivial. With brake-turning the plane, steering was extremely accurate.

I think my favorite thing about this is seeing Thabeast in a different setting than Mario. It’s like watching Lebron play his favorite Winter Olympic events.

The music in Haunted Woods is the best music in any game ever IMHO.

This game is basically:
1. Fun
2. You get to wizpig and stop playing

[ricciocruz]

As a kid, this game was interesting, infuriating, & satisfying. As racing games go, Diddy Kong Racing was the most fulfilling. This video was a trip. Loving the series.

[conora.]

To this day, this is still my all-time favorite racing game

Man. A friend and I rented this one time from Blockbuster. The first hour we HATED it... But we rented it, so we kept playing for the whole weekend and ended up beating it. It was absolutely awesome and we loved it by the end! Fantastic game.

I remember the rumors around the 101% completion of this game; they said that you could unlock a boss multiplayer mode where you selected your boss and raced, one of them was a Giant Donkey Kong.

[JohnRunyon]

Dang man, I had almost completely forgotten about this game. We had it when I was a kid, I'm pretty sure it was one of our first games for the N64. (Not super surprising, it was one of the earlier games after all)

And yeah... I remember my brother also struggling for ages trying to find the world and raging about them hiding it behind the waterfall :D

[squeebtopia]

This is a fantastic series, not only are the videos edited in a way that makes things move along quickly and precisely, you are also a great commentator. You talk about things in an efficient manner while also adding enough of your own flair to keep things interesting and entertaining. Keep up the good work! :)

[beanpwnz]

Yessss so excited this series is just beginning.

[jameshackney]

Really enjoying this series and love the review of the games. Really hope you keep up with this idea. These games bring back so many memories from my childhood, I remember when most of the n64 games came out if that explains how old I am lol, thanks for the nostalgia thab it very appreciated.
