Beating the boss a first time unlocks a new challenge which when completed grants you the chance to race a harder version of the boss. Already this racing game has more depth then most did at this time. Story is progressed by beating all the races in an area which unlocks the areas boss (and they are no pushover). Okay so it is nothing special story wise but growing up this was more than enough to keep me hooked. Timber gathers his friends up as they tackle various races and try to reclaim the island from Wizpig. Essentially Timber the Tigers island is taken over by the evil pig-wizard suitably named Wizpig (That’s a sentence I never thought I’d have to say). Yeah it was a racing game but there was so much more to it than just standard racing. First of all it’s a racing game with a story, you actually have a reason to be racing on all these wacky courses and that in itself made it all the more memorable. Mario Kart 64 was probably peoples go to racing game at the time but Diddy Kong Racing always stood out more to me. In particular this was one game we always played. I often went round her house after school and we’d spend pretty much the rest of the day playing on it. As I’ve stated before I never had a Nintendo 64 growing up, instead one of my best friends at the time did. Diddy Kong Racing, oh how the nostalgia is strong with this game.
