I love this version. There is a lack in voice acting and some music quality but all the added stuff more than makes up for it. Some different characters, the addition of Vine ruin levels, custom tracks, more music, DS download play, it was all so good for me when I was younger. EDIT: everyone else hates on it though, and you might too.
I was psyched when I first heard of this game, but when it came to playing it, I was pretty disappointed. Glad that we finally have a playthrough here on TH-cam with no commentary added, so thank you for that!
Sorry to hear that. I for think this remake is good. It's rough around a couple edges (I'm looking at you hovercraft controls, and boss rematch race), but I don't think this is a bad way to experience DKR
I remember playing the N64 and DS version as a little girl. It was my childhood game as long as I remember. That’s when Banjo is not very scary bear, but sadly I didn’t choose Conker and I don’t know him until 2011 ):
The gripes I had with this game, as someone who played the N64 until it breaks (well it didn't but I played it a lot) : - Changing the musics on some levels - Everyone has the same color of vehicles, yes that somehow made me irritated. You could have given Dixie a Light Purple as in the N64 sometimes Diddy had this color as a glitch during multiplayer, and Tiny the White color (Wizpig being Black and Taj being Purple). Heck if DK was there, he could have had the brown color. - The touch controls to make a super start, my mic was dead so I couldn't even use it for the overcraft - No more Silver Coin challenge for Story Mode, probably to avoid doing the races 3 times. - The Ballon game was... Not very good - The new tracks not implemented in the Story Mode, felt pointless. Could have been hidden on the map as a secret world with a secret boss like DK for example. The tracks are really good tho. - Dixie and Tiny really doesn't replace Banjo and Conker to be honest. Taj and Wizpig are great additions. Would have loved more racers still as I'm sure a DS game could have had more, like Mario 64 DS had. - I wish we had remake on the Switch, based on the N64 version. Sorta like how Crash Nitro Kart was. Would be amazing to have a Diddy Kong Racing game with twice the tracks, characters from Banjo-Kazooie and the Donkey Kong Country franchise, plus the bosses on the game. Anyhow it is still an okay game, but I think it's not on the same level than the N64 version. I think most of the issues are from lack of joystick on the DS, and that the controls suffered because of it, kinda like Mario 64 DS, I still prefer the N64 version because the controls are really better, despite having less content.
Man, this game is SO good! The music, the characters, the adventure mode, all of it just amazing! I just wish people would appreciate this version more.
I enjoy playing the Nintendo version when I was a little kid but I never beat the whole game now I'm playing this Diddy Kong racing Nintendo DS game on my cell phone
It's disappointing not getting to play as Banjo and Conker in this game as much as some of us used to on the N64 version. It's been that way ever since Rare was separated from Nintendo....This is all Microsoft's fault! And even up to this day, they don't even look or sound apologetic about it!
Plot twist: Diddy found out that Banjo was working with Wizpig the whole time. This, in turn, led Diddy to replace him with Dixie. Or was it Tiny Kong that replaced Banjo? Plus, Diddy was so fed up with seeing Banjo be overused in TAS videos of the original Diddy Kong Racing, leading everyone to believe that Banjo was giving Timber's island to Wizpig.
You Know that the DS Remake has new Mechanics than the Original Game. and Taj who was Supposedly to be Playable in the N64 version of the development then he was made to be Playable in the DS Remake.
Dude your a pro compared to me... I barely get a perfect score with the balloon touch challenges and I always get hit by the ship in the second wizpig boss!!
Bruh, I can’t even make it to the 2nd wizpig fight because I can’t get all the balloons in the balloon touch events! Edit: well dang, nevermind. I thought I had to get gold balloons for every door (which mean getting all 50 balloons in ballon touch which is impossible for me) but it just mean getting silver for every one. I just beat the game now :)
Funny how Rareware was still making games for Nintendo after the Microsoft buyout but only for their portable systems like the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS
@@ShadyGabe ahh... So it's an additional upgrade, not a necessity. Reminds me of CTR's wumpa fruit powerup, but simultaneously simpler and more complicated.
Is that just me or did Diddy just go and declare to everyone that they are some stinky losers while posting his big faces all over the place? Timber must feel really bad since it's his parents' island from the start.
@@FreeAimDog No skip or rush like cutscenes or talk chat some slow like story but action may same like TAS. And never mistake or fail and some glitch or trick.
@@EddieERL i was looking to see if someone did a TAS of all of T.Ts time trials to see how it would compare to him on n64 but i have not found any yet. not even in crash team racing they dont have any videos of racing ghost with TAS. it would be interesting to see how perfect pans out VS hard ghost time trials. or better yet someone racing normally then trying to race their ghost with TAS to see how it compares.
I see but not easy very trick on tas. But I have done T.T for all course have been unlocked on N64 version. Best for speedrun this T.T very high speed but some handling.
Regardless, while yes he is now in SSBU, back when Diddy Kong Racing DS was made, they couldn't use Banjo or Conker cuz of the fact that Rare was bought by Microsoft, and due to this, they couldn't add em in. So, Dixie and Tiny replaced them in this version

Memorys... such beautiful memorys
I still find it shameful Conker and Banjo got replaced by Tiny and Dixie Kong
They were the IP of Microsoft because rare was bought out in 2002.
They could've gone with Donkey & Lankey Kong!
Lankey Kong for this would be sick@@azurecorviknight4189
I really wish Microsoft didn’t buy Rare. I really wanted Conker back. Even though he’s now dead, he was such a great character...
Seenl6 Eight I wanted Banjo back as well

it's best you stay away from this. DKR is one o my favourite games and this definitely isn't known too much intentionally
Banjo and Conker aren't in this port. Not gonna play it.
I didn't know it existed either, I found it on ebay looking for Mario Kart DS and it was well worth the $10.
Really i found it somewhere and I played all the time as a kid
Difficulty wise N64 version was much harder than this remake..
True
Yes it was worth it tho
I stopped playing because I'm just not good at collecting silver coins on N64 lol
@@xavier76thman Lol same I hated collecting silver coins.
I hear in the N64 version T.T was absurdly hard to beat
I was psyched when I first heard of this game, but when it came to playing it, I was pretty disappointed. Glad that we finally have a playthrough here on TH-cam with no commentary added, so thank you for that!

No Banjo and No Conker

I haven't played this game in a long time. I miss it...
Noah Watts me too I used to have but can't find it anywhere
Me.too :(
I remember i dropped mine in my couch and it was long gone after that.
@@214iby the same happened to me except I dropped Nintendogs and cats
The game is getting rare to. I went to 4 or 5 game stores and nothing. Had to order it for almost 20 dollars.
This game was my childhood
This was my first DS game that I played as a kid
Me too dude! And I got this again!
Jérémy Vigneault I got it for Christmas.
Me too, I got it on my birthday a long time ago.
@@themariomedic8753 me too
I used to play this all the time when i was younger. I wish i still had it
I would give anything for this game to be released on the switch, it was such a fun childhood game :(
And yes. It would be pure awesomeness
I'd rather play a rerelease of the N64 version on the Switch.
It's a shame Conker wasn't in this.
Because Rare made him adult-oriented
And banjo
They couldn't have either of them in...They're owned by Rare
Banjo and Conker are both owned by Microsoft
Didn't watch this yet, saw this comment, all I needed to know
Does nobody here care that he brutaly crunched both screens to 16:9?? UUUgghhh!!

The reason for conker and banjo was cuz Microsoft bought them from Nintendo so they were replaced with nintendo characters
I remember I play this game on my childhood
My Secret World by Imagine (Ubisoft Entertainment) was released a year later for the DS (which included online play)
OOH SH*T WHAT MEMORIES :'D
Man, this game is SO good! The music, the characters, the adventure mode, all of it just amazing! I just wish people would appreciate this version more.

Really wonderfully amazingly well done. :) Keep doing a great job.
I Wonder what Walkthrough you will do next my friend. :)
I have this game ,and it's a little bit harder ,but when I used to have it on Nintendo 64 growing up it was a lot easier.

Yea well, what can ya do? At least we got Banjo as a dlc fighter Smash Ultimate now so hey, its not all bad
The blame could also be put on Nintendo for not buying Rare when they had the chance.
So nostalgic...
The memories 😭
I played this game so damn much lol I freaking loved this game, maybe I can play rn.

I play this game when I was little.
Awesome TAS
I forgot this game existed
I enjoyed it too, don't know what happened to it
And Banjo never got his invite...
But he got his invite to smash at least!
Sonic did not like that.
my childhood
You Know that the DS Remake has new Mechanics than the Original Game. and Taj who was Supposedly to be Playable in the N64 version of the development then he was made to be Playable in the DS Remake.

Same
Look before you leap!~ Honey peeps!
When Kong plays it’s TOON!

This game is really cool but it’s not the same without Conker and Banjo
Diddy kong for switch man!!!!
Do the coins make you go faster like the bananas did in the original? It never states if they do or not.
Arcade version would be dope or Pokémon go even Mario kart tour dlc love the glide missions ❤❤❤ mk8 also sonic transformed ctr vs!

Tool assisted.
TAP = Tool Assisted Playthrough
In other word, the Computer is laughing at you, not the original uploader.
Hey Eddie Roskell. Can you upload the adventure 2 please? Its unlockable after complete the normal adventure
RE! MAKE! THIS! GAME!
Some really err... strange things happening with some of the soundtrack in this version.
If only Mario kart ds was that smooth
That would be the opposite; Diddy Kong Racing DS runs in 30 fps, but Mario Kart DS runs in 60 fps.
Ikr lol
MKDS absolutely trumped DKRDS, while DKR trumped MK64. MKDS was so much more original while DKRDS was a stripped down port.
How did y’all find this
Is it just me, or does the hovercraft swerve a lot more in this version?
R.I.P RareWare
36:53 you are awesome!
It was a little hard playing this game on my cellphone 2 years ago
i really didn't knew there was a DS version of this game, looks clean like the SM64DS i must say now that I know about this
This was my First Mario Kart, then it was Mario Kart DS.
I don't know why, but I thought you'd unlock Donkey Kong at the end of the game...
And instead, you get Taj for Adventure and Wizpig for Adventure 2
Taj sounds way less entusiasthic about everything
I was thinking the same thing. It just sounds weird.
I didn't speak English growing up and bever had any idea what was going on in this game, but i enjoyed it nonetheless
Funny how Rareware was still making games for Nintendo after the Microsoft buyout but only for their portable systems like the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS
Sucks they took out the barrel rolls and flips in this version
How u get the last piece of TT amulet??
are conker and banjo in this game too because they were in the nintendo 64 version
Not in this version, as Microsoft owns them now.

What do the tokens with the up arrow do? And why grab only one per race instead of more?
They are Power-Up Tokens, which upgrade any standard weapon into a special item. What it turns into depends on the balloon color you get.
@@ShadyGabe well that's kinda dumb. In the N64 version, you just pick up 2 or 3 of the same kind
@@SmashCrafter321 that’s still in the game, this is just like a fourth upgrade that you need a specific item to access.
@@ShadyGabe ahh... So it's an additional upgrade, not a necessity. Reminds me of CTR's wumpa fruit powerup, but simultaneously simpler and more complicated.
Did Conker get replaced in this port? If so, who replaced him?
Replace to Dixie Kong and Tiny Kong.

Nah, this game should have been a sequel or something different... the "new" and extra content doesnt do justice to the N64 version.
It IS a sequel. Fandom claimed that it's set ten years after the original, with Banjo and Conker gone and Tiny and Dixie took their place.
