I loved this game as a kid, way more than super mario kart because of the racing diversity.

I just remember the only way I managed to 100% the coin races (first place and coins) was to co-op mode it with my sister. One of us would do the race and get the coins while the other would get the power ups and hinder the cpus.

I just remember one epic hovercraft race where I stopped 2-3 cpus at the finish line to get first in the race.

Such a fun game and I was totally surprised they didn't make more. I'm guessing Mario Kart was just more popular and sold way better, regardless of at the time which one was the better game. DKR was incredibly well done for it's time imo.

In time trials, do you guys rapidly press the "A" button while in a kart? It makes you go faster (about 90mph or something).
Apparently, it's a glitch.

I never heard about that. All I did to go faster was practice to find the one angle that made the car go flying and doubled my green boosts. Not all levels had such angles but on most I didn't need to time trial more than twice anyway.

I learned about the rapid A press about a year ago. When i was a kid me and my cousin would beat this game ALL THE TIME. Me and him redid it a few years ago and we got 100% story in 1 day (like 8 hours or something). With the rapid A its almost impossible to lose a race, if i use it i can easily lap all of the computers on any track.

It makes the game boring, but we should do a DKR story mode completion MM some time.

Dont worry jeff, i own DKR.
If we are gonna do a smoke and play off we need two copies!
Also, we will need to smoke a bowl every so often so it's fair.
=)

Maybe we smoke when we first start, and then we smoke everytime we clear a boss and/or area?

Did you know you can do a barrel roll in this game? It's totally useless but still kinda fun...
I believe you can avoid homing missiles with it.

luigitoilet you should get someone to photoshop the (now extinct) archon toilet, but make all the archons luigis instead. Would be hilarious.

Also, will cease.

Anyone up for an online game? I'll be available between 4pm and 9pm GMT (1am and 6am JST if that helps) all week as I'm borrowing a computer that actually works.

EDIT: spoke too soon, that computer is too slow for it to be playable. :(

Playing on Kaillera is a BLAST.
I played Smash Bros. and Mario Party with my buddies on an old forum of mine and it was fun as hell.
