The problem with a Diddy Kong Racing sequel is that the roster is filled with RARE characters. It was essentially RARE's take on Mario Kart. Aside from Diddy Kong himself, they would need a whole new cast of new characters that have no iconic impact.

With Link, Splatoon, and Animal Crossing being added to Mario Kart, it has evolved into something like Smash where it features many Nintendo IPs rather than just Mario. With that in mind, many might see a new Diddy Kong Racing and question why they did not just add him to Mario Kart since the games are so similar. It might look like a quick cash grab with unfamiliar characters and I just do not see how they can pull it off and have it sell without RARE.

I loved DKR, but my hopes for a sequel left when RARE went to MS and took their IPs with them.
