Diddy Kong Racing for the N64 is better than Mario Kart 64. Change my mind

How's the PAL versions of Rare games on the N64? They got speed optimizations and are they full screen?

>> No.7172241

>>7172207
It's a better looking game, has more variety of play styles and challenges, and personally I prefer the way the karts handle too. It's a pretty hard sell

I can see why people like Mario Kart 64. It's a pretty solid game. One thing I really don't like though, is that the items are prioritised depending on your race position. You can do really well and suddenly get shoved to last place by a blue shell before the finish line.

Top 5 N64 game. Great single player, multiplayer, and it's pretty cheap in price.

Mario Kart has better looking car sprites and has an all-ages sort of appeal where Diddy Kong is too aimed at very little kids.

They all have five less frames on average which doesn't seem like much but with a system thag has notoriously low frame rates your going to want the most you can get, also some games like waverace are a full 17 percent slower
