The green boost is such a game changer. I remember as a kid when playing Adventure Mode co-op with friends I deliberately turned off subtitles so that the secret wouldn't be revealed to them and only I would have that power. I am not a good person.
Love these gaming vids on the main channel now. I like them on the second channel but I feel this has a larger reach. I think your editing style is also perfect to show off game stuff. Would love to see you cover both games from the 90s or new stuff. Keep up the great work Al, and I hope the new gaming content angle works for ya. Can’t wait to see more.
I absolutely love your editing and humor in this format and as i haven't followed your gaming channel this is also completely new to me. Please keep making those videos they are quickly becoming my favorites
I had the DS version growing up, and I LOVED it! They don’t tell you about the boost trick in that version, so I discovered it on my own and I felt like a GOD! It’s a shame to see so many people hating on the DS version’s soundtrack though
This was the first video game I've ever played, when I was a toddler. Don't recall where I first played it and I'm 99% sure that place is long gone by now. I still don't have an N64, but when I get one, I'd rather get this sooner than later. -Even though as I grew up, I grew to dislike Rare.-
One day after I first moved into my house as a kid, it started to rain. Then the doorbell rang. Two kids I barely knew from school just gave us another N64 and some games from a yard sale (maybe theirs?) which was pretty cool. Among those games were Glover, Perfect Dark, and yes, Diddy Kong Racing. Such a great game.
I remember playing the DS version of this game when I was a kid and having a hard time beating the final boss. But unlike you, I didn't use the internet to find out how to beat the him. I just kept doing the challenging him until I eventually beat him.
I remembered beating Wizpig the first time, WITHOUT understanding the boost trick from the Strategy Guide from Nintendo Power. It was one of the greatest feeling wins I had as a kid. Also you didn't mention all of the other cool stuff you could unlock like extra characters, Trophy Races, Minigames and the Space tracks and second Wizpig race.
So the thing with Wizpig. Out of complete fucking boredom, this guy conquered his own planet and molded it into a massive amusement park: Future Funland, the final area of the game, and decides it would be awesome if he did the same to Earth. Timber wasn't having that, so he called most of the other original racers to his island to stop him. Including Drumstick, who went ahead to fight Wizpig alone like a goober, lost, and got turned into a frog.
This is one of the best games I've ever played. Both the original and the remake are top-tier kart racers. The only (commercial) rival Mario Kart will ever have.
I hope Nintendo can “Shake hands with Rare” for a full HD remake of Donkey Kong 64 (and this game getting a good remake [Not the bad DS remake] or a sequel would be cool too)
Funnily enough I had an NES and N64, but skipped the SNES in-between (I know, my loss) But yeah, I loved Diddy Kong Racing! Super fun game, and I remember my friend beating all the time trials to unlock T.T. the clock as a racer. Now I need to go binge the sound track.
Friendly advice to everyone who wants to try Diddy kong racing for the first time: Don't choose Krunch for the Adventure mode. He is considered by fans to be the worst racer in the game and easily D tier from S to D. I won't stop you from trying and if you have, more power to you. But for your first playthrough, do not use Krunch.
Okay ditty Kong racing lore is basicallya teenage house party. The tiger's parents went out on vacation and told the tiger don't be hosting races or wreck the island while we are gone. So the tiger does just that and challenges wizpig to a race. The tiger loses and the pig alien wizard gets control of the island. So the tiger asks for help from the cock who is supposedto be the best racer around(hidden frog cock character) who loses and is turned into a frog. Slso the tiger calls up his friends and is like hey I need your help. So the rest of the cast (bango,conker,ditty, the mouse,ect) come to help. But the Kremlins see ditty Kong racing off and sends someone after them to see what's going on but desides to help ditty and the tiger to race. Then the beat the wizpig and get control of the island before the tiger's parents return. -source the instruction booklet
You should play the DS remake. It adds more courses and new characters. If you beat all the courses' time trials you get the clock character Tick Tock which has max stats for racing
It's been a hot minute since I played this game. Maybe next playthrough I'll try the DS version. I recently hacked my 3DS so perfect time to emulate it
Did I see those prices right?? I have a original copy of Diddy Kong racing for my Nintendo 64 and I had no idea it was worth so much if those prices are correct
Yo Al, why did you reupload the video from your Plus channel to your main channel? I mean the thumbnail here is different (and funny) but why reupload the same vid to your main channel?
To paraphrase Back to The Future: "Hey, I've seen this one before"
"What do you mean "you've seen this", it's brand new." (Back to the Future reference)
@@merasmusentertainment I think it's a reupload pretty sure I've seen it too
Yep. That's reupload for you.
@@merasmusentertainment It’s a reupload from his gaming channel (PS: is merasmus really gaming?)
It's one of the best Kart racers of all time
So nice, he uploaded it Twice!
My thought exactly
Nah, man. He just wanted a second shot at his DYKG application!
I can't believe nobody has made a racing game featuring realistic monkeys with outfit selections.
King Neptune: Why this video tastes so good, I think I'd like to try it a second time!
Sonic All Star Racing Transformed is basically the spiritual successor of this game.
That Tigger laugh really got me.
The green boost is such a game changer. I remember as a kid when playing Adventure Mode co-op with friends I deliberately turned off subtitles so that the secret wouldn't be revealed to them and only I would have that power.
I am not a good person.
I’m really loving this new content style!
"If you win, you may touch the F E E T! :D" Thank unckey Al for your glorious voice.
Joke’s on those damned prices, my dad owned this game when he was young.

I have a blast playing this game on an emulator. It definitely deserved a sequel.
How would you feel about a Diddy Kong Racing sequel-*SHOT*
Love this game, I wanted to get T.T. but I gave up after a while.
I still listen to that OST. It's so good.
I had the DS version growing up, and I LOVED it! They don’t tell you about the boost trick in that version, so I discovered it on my own and I felt like a GOD! It’s a shame to see so many people hating on the DS version’s soundtrack though
The clear brush tool in the thumbnail is superb hats off to you AL
This was the first video game I've ever played, when I was a toddler. Don't recall where I first played it and I'm 99% sure that place is long gone by now.
I still don't have an N64, but when I get one, I'd rather get this sooner than later. -Even though as I grew up, I grew to dislike Rare.-
I never could beat this as a kid when i played it. It was one of the most infuriating car game on the N64 for me...next to Beetle Adventure.
Uncle Al liking Diddy Kong Racing/ golden era Rareware games is such good news
"Hey Elliot."
"Hey John."
"Did you know that Crash Team Racing took some inspiration from Diddy Kong Racing?"
It's funny how Diddy Kong crossed over with Conker of all people. We all know what happened to him later when he became adult
Al is slowly becoming a gaming channel.
Video Game Dunkey? No. Munkey.
One day after I first moved into my house as a kid, it started to rain. Then the doorbell rang.

Among those games were Glover, Perfect Dark, and yes, Diddy Kong Racing. Such a great game.
I am loving these game vids you do! Funny and to-the-point.
You beat the game twice and uploaded it twice. Best idea for this video and for the topic cause Diddy Kong was god tier.
So happy to see this review on the main channel!! Well done per usual, Al my man :)
Definitely not a hidden gem. This is a wonderful kart racer I highly recommend to all.
“Mario Kart doesn’t have to be your only racer”
F-Zero fans: “THANK YOU!”
Remember when we thought you weren’t Monke but Donke?
I remember playing the DS version of this game when I was a kid and having a hard time beating the final boss. But unlike you, I didn't use the internet to find out how to beat the him. I just kept doing the challenging him until I eventually beat him.
1:20 bro turned into king Julian 💀
A true masterpiece, sadly we couldn't enjoy iy

I like the part where Monkee ran very very very fast
I was one of the lucky kids to grow up AND own DKR. I still have the cartridge too. Yet I emulate it on my phone and play with an Xbox controller. 😆
A certified rare classic
2:04 ok, that got me lol
Uncle Al neds to be in the next diddy kong racing game.
Greenwood Village also appears as an easter egg in Jet Force Gemini, that game honestly deserves a remaster or remake. :(
So the thing with Wizpig.
Out of complete fucking boredom, this guy conquered his own planet and molded it into a massive amusement park: Future Funland, the final area of the game, and decides it would be awesome if he did the same to Earth.

Uncle Al transition int being dunkey 2
But where is donkey kong eps 3?!??!?!
0:44 just like hudson hornet said
I give a good bet, it'll be ported to the NSO expansion pack in the summer. I mean, it sounds perfect for the summer season.
Diddy Kong is a Beloved Secondary Mascot of Donkey Kong.
Nice. You have found your niche. Keep it up uncle Al
This is one of the best games I've ever played. Both the original and the remake are top-tier kart racers. The only (commercial) rival Mario Kart will ever have.
1:02 boy be sounding like Tigger lol
That's what I'm saying!
well i love the DS version only more bc i played that before the 64 version and uhhhhhh you have Dixie and Tiny YAY
i really enjoy these videos, the only flaw is they're a bit...short but it's funny and simple, perfect format for square brains
Having a new Diddy kong racint game, or a new donkey kong game in general would be a blessing I hope we get one day
Sniper Monke intensifies
Love your Videos AL keep them up!
Do more of these.
I hope Nintendo can “Shake hands with Rare” for a full HD remake of Donkey Kong 64 (and this game getting a good remake [Not the bad DS remake] or a sequel would be cool too)
God i love this channel
this is definitely one of the kart racers of all time
What a holy thumbnail that is
Funnily enough I had an NES and N64, but skipped the SNES in-between (I know, my loss)
But yeah, I loved Diddy Kong Racing! Super fun game, and I remember my friend beating all the time trials to unlock T.T. the clock as a racer.
Now I need to go binge the sound track.
This puts a smile on my face :)
“Touch de feet” DLC when
Friendly advice to everyone who wants to try Diddy kong racing for the first time: Don't choose Krunch for the Adventure mode. He is considered by fans to be the worst racer in the game and easily D tier from S to D.
I won't stop you from trying and if you have, more power to you. But for your first playthrough, do not use Krunch.
Wait, I feel like I've see a similar video to this before.
Kirby Fans: Waiting For Nintendo to revive the series racing spinoff :DK Fans
It's absurd what a difference the green boost makes. It honestly feels like you've hacked the game or something
I wasn’t even born yet I missed the n64 but my first real game console was the DS
I loved that game. Was hard but fun. Beating T.T. And getting him was so hard.
@Cool Lawson Tully Boy Tube ❤️
I LOVE THIS GAME!
this is a cool looking funni monke kart game, indeed
but i'm more of a Bbandikoot racer
I still need to get around to playing this game since I picked it up for around $25 at my local retro game store
Jeez, I wish I knew carts for this kart racer went for so much online. I think I have a copy laying around and I don't even have a 64 anymore.
Wario:Wait a minute I hate golf
bro didn't even mention space land and the true final boss
Can’t wait to see what he thinks of the DS port-
Okay ditty Kong racing lore is basicallya teenage house party.

have you played the DS version? it’s similar but just a lil different + kinda stank DS controls but otherwise a solid remake
What’s Al’s stance on Donkey Kong appearing in the new Super Mario Bros. Movie?
Uncle Al Plus subscribers, including me saw this video a month or so before this channel uploaded it
How do you feel about the DS version? That was the only one I played but I remember it having a good online mode for the time
Do a pizza tower animation!
i too skipped the n64 until later
I'm glad everyone else gets to see this vid!
I love you uncle al :)
No way we're the same age?! I always assumed you were an older guy. Man I really gotta work on my career more.. lol
Wizpig scares me
Great video as always!
Play the Nintendo DS port now.
You should play the DS remake. It adds more courses and new characters. If you beat all the courses' time trials you get the clock character Tick Tock which has max stats for racing
That's a pretty damn big if, even with the zipper trick.
Also they're making a new Donkey Kong movie man a movie is so so much better than a brand new game don't you think?
It's been a hot minute since I played this game. Maybe next playthrough I'll try the DS version. I recently hacked my 3DS so perfect time to emulate it
Beautiful
3:32 ....would it piss anyone off if I said I have TWO of these?
Noice
If you each 300 or 290 please make a movie and I have the story for you
The Karting game, For the MONKE,
Must get, CDawgVA to play this to~
I realized he posted it firsf in his Al plus
Now here
i have this game
Wizpig in a Nutshell: 2:10
Anybody watched The Rhino and The Redbill animated short?
I have. And it was good.
Did I see those prices right?? I have a original copy of Diddy Kong racing for my Nintendo 64 and I had no idea it was worth so much if those prices are correct
Yo Al, why did you reupload the video from your Plus channel to your main channel? I mean the thumbnail here is different (and funny) but why reupload the same vid to your main channel?
Maybe to get more traction? If it was that reason he should probably delete the vid from uncle al plus
