I might need some visual proof, but I think the snake is Rattly, the snake from Diddy's Kong Quest. Unless of course, it happens to be a NEW Snake.

Thank you, SPPf! :)
DKR kicks the crap out of every Mario Kart game ever made. Custom tracks sounds oh-so-very kickass, and I hope they're playable on Wi-Fi. Its Wi-Fi on the whole just better not suck as much as MKDS's.

I've never heard of this rumored snake character, and that's saying a lot since I'm a semi-regular guest at DKvine. Also, how could you forget BUMPER on your list?

Bumper's pretty much replaced by Lanky. And Lanky would seem to be more likeable than that Badger. Either him or Donkey Kong, otherwise, that would re-name the game "Donkey Kong Racing!"

"Donkey Kong Racing!" sounds like a grown up game. i like kiddy games, so i'm gona stick to Diddy Kong Racing,

wasn't lanky a character in the N64 version of donkey kong. he could stretch his arms out, really long.

Really?
Ah, DK Racing, have that on my Nintendo 64... brings back memories :D Although I don't think it's better than Mario Kart 64. THAT'S a freakkin' classic (which I happen to own as well)

The fact that Bumper isn't in DKRDS totally ruined my day.
Next to Drumstick and the ever hillarious Taj, he was the best freaking character in the game. Ahh, DKRDS...gone is the chance for many a "HiI'mBumper...Oh"s to spring forth from your cartridge prison.

Bumper isn't necessarily written out, though. He just hasn't been seen in any screenshots, and has no reason to fall under the same circumstances as Banjo or Conker.

"E3 06: Microsoft's Rare working on DS game

Developer debuts on Nintendo's handheld with a follow-up to its 1997 Nintendo 64 kart racer Diddy Kong Racing.

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpot

Posted May 11, 2006 6:03 pm GMT

When Microsoft purchased longtime Nintendo partner Rare, it ensured the developer would not be making games for its rivals' home consoles. However, Microsoft's acquisition has continued to support Nintendo's Game Boy Advance with offerings such as It's Mr. Pants!, Donkey Kong Country 3, and Sabre Wulf. Now, Rare is expanding its support to the Nintendo DS.

The company is working on a DS follow-up to its 1997 kart-racing game Diddy Kong Racing, which its Web site said is "based on the N64 classic but improved and expanded in ways that only the DS allows."

Details are scarce, but the developer said it will use the system's touch screen and microphone and have support for eight-player match-ups from a single copy of the game, as well as Wi-Fi support. As far as gameplay goes, Diddy Kong Racing will feature new modes, weapons, challenges, and playable characters, revamped tracks from the original game, and "TT's Wish Races, where you can create your very own tracks.""

seeing as its quite a while longer you're allowed to talk about the N64 version.
discuss timetrials, glitches and memorable moments.

this forum has been lonely all day. Waaaa :(

Hovercrafts were awesome. I usually picked them instead of the cars. Besides how will you go on the water without them?

Hovercrafts actually made heavyweight characters useful. If you slid everywhere, you were probably using a lightweight.
