Diddy Kong Racing: Difference between revisions

There are 10 playable characters in ''Diddy Kong Racing'', with eight available from the start and two being unlockable. All of these characters except [[Diddy Kong]] debut in this game. Some characters have discrepancies depending on the vehicle they use; [[Tiptup|TipTup]] and [[Pipsy]] have the same speed as Diddy on a car when they have 4 to 10 bananas and have the same speed as Diddy on a hovercraft and a plane, while [[T.T.]] has the same speed and acceleration as [[Krunch]] on a plane.<ref>William5000000 (Feb 25, 2017). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkeqPxKQ_Tk ''Diddy Kong Racing'' - Character Stats]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved April 5, 2020.</ref> This is the first game to introduce [[Banjo]], [[Tiptup|TipTup]] (later renamed Tiptup), and [[Conker]], three characters who appear in other [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]] games with Banjo being one of the main characters in ''[[Wikipedia:Banjo-Kazooie|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and Tiptup appearing as a minor character in Bubblegloop Swamp inside Tanktup's shell. Conker would appear in ''Conker's Pocket Tales'' and would've appeared in ''Twelve Tales: Conker 64'' until it was reworked into the adult-oriented title, ''Conker's Bad Fur Day''. Banjo and Conker would be removed in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', replaced by [[Tiny Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] respectively. However, Tiptup still appears in both versions.
