I think that there will probably be DLC for Mario Kart 8, but wouldn't it be cool if one of the DLC Cups was a "Diddy Cup" with four retro tracks from Diddy Kong Racing and Diddy Kong as a DLC character? It would be cool, feel like extra, and make sense in the world of Mario Kart! Plus Diddy Kong Racing was amazing.

I'm pretty sure Rare owns the rights to Diddy Kong Racing, but not the characters, meaning they can't make a sequel to the Xbox One or something


Whoever owned the rights to Goldeneye 64 didnt care when Rare used weapons and levels from Goldeneye in Perfect Dark.
And I am pretty sure Rare cannot own Diddy Kong Racing because Diddy Kong as name/character whatever is owned by Nintendo.

I believe Nintendo could remake DKR but without Conker or Banjo. The other characters should still belong to Nintendo (only Banjo and Conker where absent from the DS version of the game because Rare/MS owns them)  Unlike Banjo and Conker and Killer Instinct etc. Rare made DKR and DK64 FOR Nintendo.


BTW did you know that: 
This dinosaur here                                                     Is the same character as this one:
:
Tricky! He first appeared in DKR (he is grown up there)

If DonkeyKong is in the same universe as Mario and StarFox and F-Zero because of Fox's Father being sucked into a wormhole and ending up as a F-Zero pilot. And in hyrule are Mario paintings and even characters etc. Smash suddenly makes more sense ;)

Also
Oh yeah Samus in Mario:                                     Mario (on the left) visiting Kirby:                Tetris where all began:

enough of that :)


I would love to have a DKR Cup and a WaveRace cup and a F-Zero cup etc.
