I feel that Nintendo should make diddy kong racing that way they have a new kart racer to satiate gamers and it gives them a stepping stone toward the design  direction  they might take with MK9.

I've been waiting for a new Diddy Kong Racing for over 20 years. IMO it was a much better game than Mario Kart 64. 

Absolutely.  It was my favorite racing game until Mario Kart Wii.   At this point, I don't think we are ever going to see a sequel though.
