Sub-series | Banjo; Conker |
Parent franchise | Donkey Kong |
Donkey Kong Racing games have been produced since 1997 with Diddy Kong Racing for the Nintendo 64. In the vein of other Donkey Kong/Diddy Kong sport games, it features Donkey Kong/Diddy Kong and his all-star cast competing in a racing game.
Since its first generation on the Nintendo 64, a long hiatus was caused by Rare's buy-out by Microsoft, and two DKR games that had been in production had to be cancelled. In 2007, two games of the series were eventually released and brought the series back to life.

Featuring ten playable characters (two of which would later both receive their own games, Banjo and Conker) and 25 different racecourses, Diddy Kong Racing was a success receiving the Player's Choice title. |

Diddy Kong Racing DS
|
Years later, after Microsoft bought out Rare, two planned Diddy Kong Racing games had to be cancelled. Nintendo and Rare teamed up again to create Diddy Kong Racing DS, a remake of the original with many notable differences, including Tiny Kong and Dixie Kong replacing Banjo and Conker, and Wi-Fi matches. |

Donkey Kong Barrel Blast

Known as Donkey Kong Jet Race in Europe, Donkey Kong Barrel Blast was made for the Wii. Instead of vehicles, the characters ride on rocket-powered Bongos. The game was originally intended for release on the Gamecube, but was moved to the Wii. The game includes Miis. |

Cancelled Games
Title and System | Synopsis |
---|---|
Diddy Kong Pilot | Diddy Kong Pilot was the planned sequel to Diddy Kong Racing, but instead focusing only on flying and nothing else. Due to Rare being acquired by Microsoft, Rare was already far at work into the game and instead of scrapping it altogether, the game was removed of all Donkey Kong references and was turned into Banjo-Pilot. |
Game Boy Advance | Was originally unveiled at E3 2001. |
Donkey Kong Racing | Donkey Kong Racing is another cancelled game, this one focusing on Donkey Kong instead of Diddy Kong. It would feature new Animal Buddies such as a gigantic Rambi and a purple Enguarde. After the buy out of Rare, the game was seen as vaporware. |
Nintendo Gamecube | Was originally unveiled at E3 2001. |
Playable Characters
Template:Spoiler With six Mario Kart titles, the list of characters that can be found from within these games is quite large. Below is a list of all the characters found in each game.
