I didn’t realise anyone thought Diddy Kong Racing was better than Mario Kart.
I absolutely believe it's better. The soundtrack, level variety, and vehicle variety all blow it out of the water.
I don't believe anyone thinks this
Diddy Kong Racing has a better story than every Mario Kart put together.
Mostly because Mario Karts don't have a story.
Mario Kart is a party game you play with people you want to casually hang out with one night.
Diddy Kong Racing is a game you play with someone (or yourself) over the course of many nights and sink into the story, fun worlds and characters, while taking on the racing challenges.
Mario Kart is a social lubricant party game with tight, balanced, and fun racing chaos. Diddy Kong Racing is a game with heart and soul and humour and exploration and a story.
tl;dr: I think this
Specifically on the N64, with regards to these games? I absolutely do and I don't think there's actually much to discuss.
I know people that do
I'm going to check in and say, I think this.
