Interestingly this game was first planned for the Nintendo GameCube to be played with the bongos, but ended up being a Wii title with motion controls. I'm not completely opposed, but the bongos would definitely been more fun! This game seems to get some flack and I initially agreed with it being a bad game, but you honestly just need to give it some time and practice. Important to note that it's only necessary to shake the motion controls to accelerate. Once max speed has been gotten, you only need to shake left or right to make corners. Everything else is just mastering the barrels. Longplay covers all of the unique stages through the championship mode as well as all of the challenges
I know this game is notorious for its weak ratings and harsh critics and the black sheep of DK games. However I have to admit I really enjoyed this game despite its flaws. Sure it would've been nice if it would've been released for the Gamecube with the Bongo controls, but the Wii Motion control is quite interesting as well plus I loved the boost mechanics. There is a tutorial mode (Cranky's Flight School) where you can learn all relevant gameplay mechanics, the game has many unlockables to offer and the soundtrack is nice as well. Overall while far from being perfect (the tracks are somewhat uninspired and the motion control can be a bit exhausting if playing for a long time), I had my fun with this game.
I think this is the very definition of a gimmick video game. But despite the weak ratings and what the critics say, I have to admit that this is one of my guilty pleasures in video games. Yeah, the motion controls are annoying and feel tacked on, and it probably would've been better if it used the Gamecube Bongos, and the tracks feel really uninspired, but I liked this game and still think it's pretty fun. The best racing game? Heck no, but it's still pretty decent.

Why didn't you choose Tiny Kong for the Diamond Cup?
I remember getting this hoping it would a spiritual successor to “Diddy Kong Racing “, though not quite, I still enjoyed it.
Ooh, had a lot of fun with this one on the Wii! Thanks for doing playing this!
I didn't know this game existed UNTIL this video came out and the game is SO FUN to play!!!
If it weren't for Scott, nobody would've remembered this game.
Mookie:virginity is out of the spotlight again
I don’t see why this game wasn’t successful, it looks fun

Nice review. I think most of the negative criticism is from people who haven't tried the game enough. Takes a bit of time to get used to
If I knew this was a thing back then, I would have played it for laughs and that's it.
If Illumination is going to make a Donkey Kong movie then I hope Tiny Kong, Candy Kong and Kalypso appear in the movie
Thank you for we don’t have to play this!
Hahahah
Just so you know, this game's titled Jet Race in PAL regions.

Agree with you. Need to give the game some time to get used to the controls and after that it gets pretty fun
I always choose Tiny Kong. She's my favourite
I just don't see why Longplayarchive didn't choose her for this video in the first place... He must have something against her.
I forgot this game was real
Man the only donkey Kong enemy I hate is the zingers
