Can we admit it was way ahead of its time? Pure kino

It was great, I had both this and Mario Kart 64 as a child, and even though I liked the aesthetic of Mario Kart better I think DKR was the better game.

Unlocking the space levels was kino, completely unexpected for me when I was a kid

I am now of the opinion all Rare N64 games are actually bad except Conker's.

I used to like them but I'm 50 years old now, it's time to grow up.

>ahead of its time
how? its great but its design is very of its time

>>716094431
There are more bad Rare N64 games than there are good ones, yes, but DKR still holds up to this day.

the mouse was OP

I was surprised that it's actually kind of challenging even as an adult
I know I'm shit at video games but I actually had to practice some of those coin races and fucking wizpig

BRING IT BACK NINTENDO! PUT IT ON THE VIRUAL CONSOLE!

>>716094491
T.T. was objectively the most powerful one, and Drumstick being the runner-up if T.T. was banned. If NO unlockables are allowed, then going with Tiptup or Pipsy was your best bet. The heavies were the worst ones in this game, unlike Mario Kart.

for me the whole hub/story mode was pretty advanced for a kart racing game that came out in 97

>>716094491
I'M TT

CRT, F-Zero, DKR are superior to mario kart and ahead of their time.

But bing bing wahoo o algo

>>716094021 (OP)
As a single player game it absolutely destroys MK64. The only thing MK64 had going for it was better item variety and better multiplayer. DKR, besides looking better and having a very fun single player mode, also has a great OST. David Wise is so good

I'm a sucker for a good Winter/Christmas-themed levels and it has a few good ones

It mogged Nintendo on a technical level by having full 3D models instead of sprites and making the thing a small adventure, instead of just tracks.
It even mogs Mario Kart World. Nintendo had all the resources in the world to finally give the new Mario Kart a story mode / overworld and they did open warudo instead.

kino

Rare's games are usually hot garbage. DKR is one of the few exceptions.

>>716094585
I can't count how many times I had to restart on that fucking dragon

>>716094021 (OP)
Mickey's Speedway USA is also good.

>>716094431
Blast Corps was great, fuck you.

>>716094021 (OP)
As good as MK is, I still prefer DKR to this day.

Was never able to beat the game.

>>716096372
Never heard of that actually

>>716094021 (OP)
Yes. It took mario decades to add water skis when dkr had hovercrafts.

>>716101237
it was developed by rare

I consider the MERRY code to be mandatory part of any DKC 3 play through.

Kino choice. The entire soundtrack overall is fucking incredible and it's still one of my favorite OSTs to this day.
