I thought of this after discussing things with both Glowsquid and Bazooka Mario on the [[MarioWiki:Featured_Articles/N/Donkey_Kong_Barrel_Blast|FA nomination page]] of [[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]. We know that ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' on the N64 was intended to have two sequels, ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'' that ended being canceled. It later got a remake on the DS instead. I also removed ''Barrel Blast'' from this page, as it has never been officially stated as a sequel to ''Diddy Kong Racing''. But my point of this discussion is to rename this page, as Donkey Kong wasn't playable in the original ''Diddy Kong Racing'' or its DS remake, and I don't get how the page is named "Donkey Kong Racing", even if Diddy was the main character in DKR (and was supposed to be it in "Pilot").

But Glowsquid also had a valid point in the discussion we had: "It's true that Rare did try to follow Diddy Kong Racing with various cancelled projects so I suppose having the page makes sense, but in real-world term, the "Donkey Kong Racing series" consist of one game, and a remake of that one game. Can you call that "a series"?
