Smashboards Creates: Diddy Kong Racing Sequel!

[Terry Bogard]

Diddy Kong Racing is quite the game! Compared to Mario Kart 64, it has more playable characters (with two secret characters), three different vehicle types, and best of all, DKR has 20 tracks compared to MK64's 16. Is it any wonder that many people (me included) fell in love with it? To show my love of it, I want to imagine what a sequel would look like. Unfortunately, I know that Rare and Nintendo aren't working together anymore, which is why my ideas are sequels in a more spiritual sense, but if you want to imagine a more proper sequel exclusive to the Switch 2, that's okay too! I'll be posting my ideas soon! In the meantime, ask yourself this:
What would a Diddy Kong Racing sequel look like?

My Ideas #1: Mickey's Speedway USA 2

Between my two ideas, this is the one that I don't have much faith in. Disney seems content with Disney Speedstorm (their current kart racer), and even if that game didn't exist, I really don't have a lot of ideas for a sequel to Mickey's Speedway USA. The only reason I'm including it as a possible spiritual sequel is because MSUSA is seen by some (including me) as a pseudo sequel to Diddy Kong Racing (due to the game being made by Rare and running on the same engine as DKR).
