[TAS] N64 Diddy Kong Racing by xenos in
Ойындар
This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/946M
TAS originally published on 2007-08-18
Annoyed with the success of the Mario Kart series, a bunch of Rare characters got together and held a racing competition of their own. Along with the availability of several types of vehicles, this game has something of a storyline to it and full completion requires reloading a saved game after the credits run for the first time. More races occur after the initial credit roll, so don't stop watching once the ending plays.
Note: There are encodes of higher resolution in the discussion thread.

The Brazilian instruction manual says that Banjo put a lot of stuff in his backpack, because he hasn't partnered with Kazooie during the events of the game.

I know this is an old comment, but I was thinking this last night. I've basically replayed the game in about a day (and part of the previous night). Helps to be a skilled adult that knows and understands advanced techniques but this game felt so much longer as a kid. Doesn't help that I got terrified of the Wizpig head slowly completing and that I was too anxious to beat the silver coin challenges outside of Dino Domain and most of Snowflake Mountain. Even as a teen, the DS version too me so much longer to beat though I did 100% that one. tl;dr game wasn't as long as it seemed as a kid.

Still amazing to remember that this was both Banjo's and Conker's first game before they got their own spin-offs (and Banjo, with Kazooie, would get invited to Smash as well) And DKR is such a good game, got a ton of nostalgia with this one Hopefully a newer TAS will happen that demonstrates and optimizes a lot of the glitches though, I know this TAS is super old (2007) and a lot has changed since then - the game's still huge in the speedrun community to this day

Absutely insane!
This game still feels unfinished.. like, for example, take Spaceport Alpha.. to the right, next ro the finish line, there's an open space which is a perfect hiding spot for a key, or some sort of collectible, and also right at the end after beating wizpig a second time, there's an end-credits scene that cuts off before the game restarts on its own..

Technically this is Timber’s game, since the game takes place on his parent’s island, but the game had Diddy Kong on its name for marketing reasons. Although one might argue that a separate Timber game would’ve been great because it could allow other places in Timber island or even expand upon the tracks we already know in a facet different than being seen as race track themselves.

Oh no, Banjo, you didn't. Wizpig survived that crash. Didn't you see that ship or hear that laugh at the end of the celebration? It would have been better for the story if Wizpig would have been stuck on that planet, and perhaps it would have been cool if he accidently crashed near an army of Kremlings led by King K. Rool, which chases him all around the planet.

Small characters accelerate to top speed faster, but their top speed is lower. Also the small ones turn better. Large ones have a higher top speed, but accelerate slower. I think Krunch has the highest top speed, other than TT and Drumstick, but I guess banjo is most efficient for a speed run when you factor in his acceleration as well.
