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 [[Zinger]]s. Creatures rumored to be rideable 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 (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series and the ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' series or ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' would appear.

According to the Space World press release,<ref>[http://cube.ign.com/articles/136/136565p1.html "Donkey Kong Racing Spaceworld 2001: New shots of the CG intro."] (accessed July 19, 2012)</ref> the game would have featured the ability to "upgrade" the animal rides by collecting food and prizes during the races. Multiplayer for up to four players was planned, as were "real-world phenomena" happening during the races, such as swaying trees and fading sunlight. The player could switch between animals during the races and the rider could fall from its ride, forcing it to run on foot to catch up with the animal.<ref name=NintendoLife />
