/vr/ - Retro Games

I wish more kart racers had something like DKR's coin races, they were fun and added a lot of challenge to tracks you've beaten already.

The only thing like it was the CTR races in CTR, but even then there's only 3 tokens and they're easy to get once you've found them, like 99% of the time they're just hidden in shortcuts you'd want to take anyway. Not at all like DKR's silver coins where the game might just be like "get that silver coin that's just just 10 seconds off course over there and then win the race afterwards, if you're so great"

DKR in general had a lot of pretty fun challenges. I really liked how its final boss was basically just a race you had to do perfectly, no items or shortcuts to cheese it with. That first Wizpig race was like a time trial ghost that could run you off the road it was great. I know people hate the first Wizpig race because they think it's bullshit but they're just shitters. So many kids got filtered by that race, there was a time where getting to the space world without having to beat Wizpig was like the kart racer equivalent of finding the triforce in OoT, which I guess it actually predates.
