Donkey Kong Racing

Donkey Kong Racing was a cancelled Donkey Kong game sequel to Diddy Kong Racing for the Nintendo GameCube. Not much was revealed about Donkey Kong Racing except that it was going to have new types of Animal Buddies such as a gigantic Rambi and a purple Enguarde.

Unlike Diddy Kong Pilot and Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers, Donkey Kong Racing was never confirmed as cancelled, but due to the lack of information on the game's development for several years, as well as the fact that it was planned for the now-obsolete Nintendo GameCube, the game has been deemed "unofficially cancelled."

Confirmed characters in the game included Donkey Kong, Tiny Kong, Diddy Kong, Taj the Genie and Kiddy Kong. Rideable creatures seen were Rambi, a gigantic sized Rambi, a small red Rambi, a small Rambi, Enguarde the Swordfish, a purple Enguarde, Ellie the Elephant and some Zingers. Creatures rumored to be ridable include Expresso the Ostrich, a Chomps shark, a Necky and an Army.

It is unknown if all the characters from Diddy Kong Racing were going to reappear in this game, but with the inclusion of Taj it seemed likely. It is also unknown if any other character from the Donkey Kong Country/Land series or Donkey Kong 64 would appear.

The slogan for Donkey Kong Racing is "LET'S RIDE" as it is seen at the end of the trailer. Taj can be seen riding on a Zinger while passing it.
