The Mysteries of Diddy Kong Racing

[@jiggylookback]

Drop a like if you want this on Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pak!

[@DKCfan10]

I would kill to have it on there, though I always figured that the outdated portrayal of Conker kind of prevents it from being added. It seems kind of arbitrary, but given that he went in a vastly different direction, throwing that old depiction of him on a modern platform could potentially be a problem for Microsoft if they ever want to do a new Conker game. Or I’m just crazy

[@jiggylookback]

@@DKCfan10nah it wouldn’t effect it at all. It’s history not a new title

[@DKCfan10]

Yeah I guess so. I’m still sure Conker and Banjo are a big part of why the game isn’t getting rereleased

[@conker2185]

Of course

[@karmachameleon7148]

I want this added so bad!!! Loved this game as a kid. 😊

[@chicagolondongirl2906]

Actually, the greatest mystery of this game is, "Why is Conker not an alcoholic?"

[@jiggylookback]

Oh man I sort of cover that in a theory video about Berri on my channel

[@troymartin4260]

This was when he was still young and had not yet been exposed to drugs and booze

[@MrOakridge]

This was back when Conker was still planned to be a family-friendly character, with Twelve Tales still in active development. He only became an alcoholic years later.

I think canonically, the characters in Banjo-Kazooie can just speak in English. The textbox and jibberish is just how we hear them talk.

[@alexkulis7295]

I believe in the official Nintendo player's guide for the game, it established that the bosses were brainwashed by Wizpig when he arrived if I am recalling from my childhood correctly.

[@jiggylookback]

It says it in the manual. I put it up on the video if you didn’t read it. It’s up there :)

[@jiggylookback]

Thanks I really appreciate that!! :)

[@RosbifChaud]

The reason why we didn't get Donkey Kong Racing is not a mysetery! That's because Rare was bought by Microsoft during this era.

[@jiggylookback]

Well not necessarily because we still got starfox adventures and such. It still had a chance. But it certainly didn’t help! The game almost transitioned to a Sabreman safari game for a while too that looked fun.

[@davidbarkhausen7739]

It wasn't far enough into development for them to finish before leaving. I kid you not, I was so disappointed when I heard Rare was leaving that I called NOA. They were like, well now we have new partners like Sega... -.-

[@jazzjackson9817]

It wasn't meant to be a star fox game.

[@matthewdivoll3453]

@@jiggylookback Star Fox Adventures was literally a month away from release when the buyout happened. It had probably already gone gold, and promotional materials were already all over the place. It would have been a horrible financial and PR decision for both companies to cancel the game at that point. While there HAVE been games cancelled that close to release, they are extremely rare (no pun intended) and have never been a major IP. Donkey Kong Racing was definitely cancelled because of the Microsoft buyout. Two other Donkey Kong games for the GBA - Diddy Kong Pilot and Donkey Kong: Coconut Crackers, were in development at the time of the buyout, and following that, were reskinned into Banjo Pilot and It's Mr. Pants Time, respectively. Microsoft was okay with Rare continuing to release games on the GBA because they had not yet entered the handheld market, but anything in development on the Game Cube had to be cancelled or released on X-Box instead, and because their partnership with Nintendo had ended, they could no longer use Donkey Kong or related characters.

[@Vecktrez313]

This game is so unique, I always loved the themed world lobbies. Imagine all the potential after so many years if there was a remake of this. I dont think there are other racing games that have tried to replicate what was done here (as far as I'm aware).

[@jiggylookback]

I don’t think I’ve seen any racing games quite like this one. The adventure mode really stands out. I would love a remake. Or at least an NSO release with online play!!

The third N64 game I ever owned, got it with BK in early 1999 after getting the N64 for Christmas 1998. One of my favorite games for the system. Bumper has always been my main driver (I hate whole "Bumper went to jail" stuff)

[@jiggylookback]

[@bluediamonddirector]

@@jiggylookback Yeah for Christmas 1998 with the system we got Starfox 64 and Star Wars: Rogue Squadron. Then DKR and BK shortly thereafter for our birthday (me and my brother).

Crash Team Racing was the only other game that came close to this level of charm. A racing game with a hubworld, with collect-a-thon elements, where you can collect and discover many neat secrets in the hub world alone. I remember being a kid and just flying around the hub world in a plane and having a blast. There was so much soul that went into this game, it feels like the only place where you can find “soul” in games now a days is in indie games.

[@jiggylookback]

Yes! It has soul! Thats a lot of those Rare games on this generation. The secret sauce that makes em special.

Honestly, I hadn't even thought about the game not being on NSO, but it's definitely a crime. I'd kill to see it, B-T, and DK64 (which I'm surprised about since it was ported to Wii U) I got hopeful when Jet Force Gemini was added, suggesting new deals with Microsoft/Rare, but now I wonder lol... I have some concerns about potential forced lag, which was annoying enough in Paper Mario, tho

[@benamisai-kham5892]

[@wearywanderer1912]

I'm loving your channel! Such unique and interesting mysteries.

[@jiggylookback]

Thank you! Trying to be different and unique

[@Nonjola]

Not a mystery, but a small fact that I found about Diddy Kong Racing that I found: There was a character planned named "Roo", a female, yellow kangaroo wearing boxing gloves on her hands. Roo was just a prototype for Pipsy.

[@WahRizz]

And astromouse was another prototype i think

[@Nonjola]

@@WahRizz That was the cancelled game that would feature Pipsy as the main star.

[@jiggylookback]

Maybe I’ll do a cut/lost content video at some point

[@trglavcnik1]

Sounds like the main protagonist for Kao the Kangaroo which is a 3d platformer.

[@viddysgamingviddyos4710]

Outside of these unusual mysteries, this game was one of the first games to intrigue me as a kid as to what is to be found through exploring. When the TT Door got mentioned, I wondered what that was. I would see a couple of balloons around Timber Island and feel compelled to explore every corner on a plane. And of course, there are the four keys across four racetracks that also encourage exploration. Or the way you unlock Drumstick. If there's any videogame that introduced me to explore every pixel of it for content as a kid, it's this one. So bring it to Switch Online!

[@jiggylookback]

Yes bring it to NSO!!! Let’s goooo

[@PyroJiro]

I dont think there's a lore reason why Banjo talks in this game but talks Rareanese in the Banjo-Kazooie games. Pretty sure its just a stylistic choice. If my memories not hazy (I may be making this up without realizing) I actually remember one of the guys from the old days of Rare mentioning on Twitter that they wanted the game to be voiced, but settled for the gibberish we know now due to memory limitations. I forget who it was, but im pretty sure its the person who was uploading all sorts of concept art and documents on twitter a couple years back if this isn't a total false memory on my part.

[@jiggylookback]

It probably was a memory thing…I seem to recall something similar but I do like diving into hypothetical lore and theories to explain it haha

[@1337gamer15]

I remember the weird indent in Spaceport Alpha near the start line, where it looks as if a race key could have appeared. Future Fun Land doesn't have a battle arena though. In the remake they did put that balloon upgrading powerup there though. I mean I guess it's obvious that Future Fun Land was at one point considering having a battle arena but was cut due to time constraints, and its key would have appeared there.

[@jiggylookback]

I love that stuff! Thanks for sharing that!

“Diddy have any previous ties to this island?” Great pun!

[@therealstickfingers]

Great vid! You should've quickly mentioned the ds port of this game and question if the two games are connected in some way. Also, the Wizpig ghosts always freaked me out as a kid. They were up there right next to the ghost hand that plays the piano in BK and the ghost in Lego Racers for the N64.

[@jiggylookback]

Multiverse! DS and N64

[@X2011racer]

They're the same game story-wise, but Banjo and Conker's existence is retconed for obvious reasons. Not to mention that Nuts & Bolts was coming out a year later, and Nintendo wouldn't want to promote a competitor's upcoming game. Back then, Nintendo and Microsoft were fierce rivals.

[@あれくす]

This game needs a remake hardcore.. I loved it as a child. I would totally play a remake or a sequel

[@jiggylookback]

Yes it does!!!

[@finRatman]

I just bear DKR for the first time a few days ago, so good timing with the video haha! The game was too hard for me back in the day.. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the characters in Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie talk gibberish because of memory issues with N64 cartridges. Having just a couple voice lines for all characters like in DKR saves a ton of space.

[@jiggylookback]

Well yes technically, I really wanted to explore a lore theory on why they talk like that. Just good fun :) but yes I believe you’re correct! And thanks so much for watching. Glad you beat DKR I thought the Wizpig races were really hard as a kid.

[@cartervoltfire4933]

Diddy Kong Racing isnt on Switch because Banjo, Tiptup, and Conker are now owned by Microsoft. Renting the rights to use Banjo in Smash Ultimate guarantees a hefty payout but paying for all of the Rareware characters without charging us somehow isnt a 'good business move'

[@matthewdivoll3453]

Yet there are other Rare properties on NSO, like Jet Force Gemini, Blast Corps, and even Banjo-Kazooie itself. I don't think that's what's holding it back. I think they're just saving it for later so they still have some big titles to release in the final year of the Switch's life.

[@cartervoltfire4933]

[@smashers6971]

5:14 I mean the answer is pretty obvious, the Rareware buyout happened, and the only characters from that trailer Nintendo owned at the time were DK, Diddy the animal buddies and Kiddy. Yea the DK64 cast had to be bought back in exchange for the Banjo Kazooie cast.

[@jiggylookback]

That’s right. I forgot about that! Or maybe he’s tired cause he did it so much? LOL I mean we do have spaceships and rockets here so maybe they took one of those.

[@Knockoff_Zacian]

The reason why the bosses don't race against Wizpig is because they've been hypnotized from him once and he can do it again, So they offer the amulets to the best racer instead and hope they can become faster and beat him at a race to Wizpig he sees you as a joke that you couldn't beat him due to your size but for others like the Triceratops & Dragon he knew he wouldn't be the fastest because he's outmatched in their abilities

[@jiggylookback]

Yep. I did show the manual that says how they’re under his spell.

[@LancerkingNoel]

Banjo can speak, but in Banjo's games there is a lot of dialogue, so making audio files for it would make the game heavier and also have the player having lo lissten to dialogue insttead of music, which was the games biggest approach Triceratops thing... Just don't go mixing things. StarFox has a game with an ending where Fox and Falco become racers in Fzero, and the fact DKR can relate to DKC, and DK can link to Mario games... 2 characters of same species on different planets, that's all Magical Elephant Bosses Vs Wizpig, the Bosses likely lost to Wizpig, that's why they are counting on you to beat him Taj is weaker than Wizpig but is preparing you to be able to race Wizpig

The biggest mystery of all really is why we never got that sequel on the GameCube. Yes, I know that Rare was bought by Microsoft but Nintendo could’ve easily still created a game with another studio. Besides, DK and crew need more games anyway. Let’s hope this game comes to the switch online soon. I’m excited for it too!

[@jiggylookback]

I agree 100%

[@X2011racer]

Nintendo was already busy with Mario Kart Double Dash!! and there's also the issue of character copyright uncertainty. Remember, Nintendo had to ask Rare permission whenever they wanted to use Donkey Kong in a Mario spin-off during the N64 era, and all references to Donkey Kong Country had to be kept to a minimum.

[@jiggylookback]

Wow that’s crazy. I don’t think I actually knew that part!

[@MartKart8]

I remembered in the Juke box, when the cheat is added there's a song that plays , that's not used anywhere in the game, it sounds like it's meant to be in a course, I think it's a violin that's playing?

[@jiggylookback]

Yeah there are some “unused songs”

[@mattb6522]

Good video! I mean, I think the main reason Diddy Kong Racing isn't on Switch Online is that Nintendo would need to get licensing permission from Microsoft and they just don't care (or want to). It really is a shame, but if Banjo-Kazooie can make it onto Switch Online, I don't see why they wouldn't be able to work something out with Microsoft. I always thought that all of Rare's game worlds were connected somehow as some of their own characters had cameos in their other games. I had assumed that Star Fox Adventures took place before Diddy Kong Racing, so that the Tricky you met in Star Fox was the same one you raced in Diddy Kong Racing (just obviously older).

Krunch was supposed to be equivalent to Bowser stats wise, but something went wrong with the coding and Krunch's Speed Stat defaulted to 1.

[@jiggylookback]

It really freaking does

[@SgtTankDempsey]

I had the DS remake yea it sucks that they removed Banjo and Conker, but removing Taj accent was the biggest crime. Also, I'm gonna say it. Donkey Kong Racing idea was bad. I would rather have Diddy Kong Racing 2 with the vehicles instead of animals.

[@jiggylookback]

I’d rather have the cast of diddy Kong racing but it’s my understanding they had vehicles AND animal buddies

[@SgtTankDempsey]

@@jiggylookback I still hope Nintendo goes back to a Diddy Kong Racing game unless Rare also owns the characters in that game

[@jiggylookback]

Every character except diddy basically is owned by Rare

[@torvosheza]

amazing race game

[@jiggylookback]

Yes it is

[@natejoe9924]

I I love Star Fox adventures in my family does too I know it got a bad reputation but I like the adventure part of the game I'm not a big fan of the space shooter games add all I don't like them that's probably why I like Star Fox adventures more than anything

[@jiggylookback]

I like both old school and starfox adventures tbh!! I loved that game tho!

[@natejoe9924]

@@jiggylookback yes I really like the Star Fox adventures on the GameCube I thought it was pretty good

[@robertlauncher]

The most annoying “Reason” I always hear is that it’s some licensing issue with Rare. Let’s get this straight. Nintendo owns Donkey Kong. Nintendo owned Donkey Kong when Rare created their reimagined vision for the series. Nintendo is not going to give another company the rights to something based on their character. I’m 99% sure everything in the DK franchise from Kremlings to Wizpig are all owned by Nintendo and not Rare

[@robertlauncher]

You don’t get the rights to things you create for someone else’s franchise unless it’s a special agreement between the parties, and Nintendo had zero reason to do that for Rare when DKC was created.

[@jiggylookback]

I don’t think Wizpig is. But def Dk and company are all owned by Nintendo. The other characters I believe are Rare. People like to blame that buyout of Microsoft for everything but it really didn’t. They still released games they were working on on the GameCube and gamboy advance!

[@jiggylookback]

@@robertlauncher yeah I know for a fact everything in DKC is owned by Nintendo but DKR is an interesting case because Banjo and Conker are def owned by Rare. I believe the other original characters are also Rare. It’s weird

[@robertlauncher]

@@jiggylookback Oh yeah that second comment was made before I saw you responded. Just an elaboration on what I meant, not a response. My bad

[@jiggylookback]

@@robertlauncher all good! No worries

[@emanttnf]

I'm gonna be honest, the mp in this game isn't that great. I just 100% this game & I can't say that most ppl would bother to beat it. Pretty fun learning curve, but something tells me that Nintendo curates more "inviting" games for their NSO sub

[@jiggylookback]

Whhaaaaa it’s a phenomenal kart racer! Used to play multiplayer all the time! Would love to race against really good players online.

[@angelganon8213]

Banjo can also say uhoh and whoa

[@jiggylookback]

That’s true!

[@CyberFoxy87]

I was disappointed seeing the race games we were going to get and end up canceled -_- Hope they re-think that now that there are systems powerful enough to handle it

[@jiggylookback]

Right? Me too.

[@CyberFoxy87]

@@jiggylookback I remember that Diddy Kong Race game in Nintendo Power Magazines years back and thinking that would be awesome Getting to see your video clips of it is even better

[@jiggylookback]

@@CyberFoxy87 internet archive has a couple of them! It’s awesome

How do you know Banjo's not multi lingual?

I don’t! Haha

I thought this was going to be a real mystery video not a shitpost

[@jiggylookback]

Sorry you expected something else. There are a million of those videos out there. I’m sure you’ll find it. Don’t need to crap on my comments 👍🏻

[@Gyozamang]

@@jiggylookback it’s called feedback and that’s what the comments are for. I’m not saying anything about you as a person 👍

[@jiggylookback]

Well thanks for clarifying. It’s hard sometimes when I put a lot of work into my videos. Get a little defensive :P appreciate you taking the time to engage

[@sicSwine1994]

Some of the theories are not that deep. T.t was a last minute decision.

[@jiggylookback]

All good fun. It’s just about way overthinking it

[@daniellesiak6209]

A video to perfectly show how lame todays generation can be to literally pick apart every single thing because every movie/game has to be inter connected in its own universe with lore on every single tiny thing. He speaks cause its two words and cartridge space says no to paragraghs. There are houses in a level because what do you want no scenery? I dont think Rare were thinking elaborate back stories to snow balls and homes. And so on 😴

[@jiggylookback]

This comment is super lame. This is purely made for fun. Don’t suck the joy out of it. And idk what you’re saying about today’s generation. I grew up with this game.
