Diddy Kong was one of the very few examples of a racing game ditching that mechanic and was one of the more successful games during the N64’s lifetime, so even back then, that mechanic was awfully dated.
I feel like it's the worst rubberbanding in any game I've played, but that might also just mean it's comparatively the best game I've played that has rubberbanding in it so it feels especially bad.
@@lilwyvern4 My most memorable experience with this idiotic mechanic was in need for speed carbo, where a speedtrap race still featuring rubberbanding was kind enough to spell out the actual speeds rubberbanding would accelerate the AI to, and it got as high as 870kph if you were leading by a wide enough margin.
I had a dream around the time this was being streamed and I dreamed that Vinny was playing Majora and it was going to be the last ever live stream he did. It was really nice and emotional, he would keep talking about how much he would miss doing streaming and how much streaming has changed his life for the better, he would reminisce on all the past times he had played Majora and bringing up old jokes he had done before when playing it. Vinny didn't explain why he was going to stop streaming but in the dream it was maybe 20 or so years in the future so that might explain why. It was comforting for me knowing that after so many years Vinny stayed persistent on streaming and making people happy, it was also nice to know that I had been with him through most of his journey too, laughing at his stupid jokes and funny voices, reminiscing myself on how much he has change MY life for the better. When I woke up I was scared as I thought that all of that might of been real, but as I went onto twitch and saw another new vod for Majora's Mask Randomized I knew that that experience would be something to happen much later on.
@@theangrywig3905 I actually just remembered how similar it is to whats happened recently as, it did feel a bit more emotional thinking about it as I was writing

Can’t believe he didn’t put this up sooner! That was a great and hilarious series of streams and it was for a good cause: helping those who has lost and/or suffered during one of the worst years to date.

If anything can you randomise just the music for a playthrough that to me is the funny and interesting part. Items being in random spots is ok but hearing a miniboss theme when you enter a shop is hilarious.
