| JEMC said: From someone who hasn't played Diddy's Kong Racing, is it really that different from Mario Kart? It's just that if they are about the same, I don't see why there should be 2 cart games on the same console. |
Not only do you drive go-karts, you also get to drive hovercrafts and planes! (Leaving room for excellent level design where planes can race against hovercrafts, and so on.) It also takes more skill than Mario Kart since poor drivers don't get item advantages, but rather the same items as the leading players.
The music also played a huge role, in my opinion. The composer still works at Rare, but given how Retro made a great soundtrack for Donkey Kong Country Returns I don't see why they wouldn't be able to do it again.
Not to mention their experience gained through working on Mario Kart 7!
