Diddy Kong Racing was one of those N64 games that tricked you into thinking it was just another kart racer—until you actually played it. Yeah, you pick a character (Diddy, Banjo, even a weird turtle named Pipsy), but then it throws you into this weirdly ambitious adventure mode where you’re unlocking tracks by winning balloons and taking on bosses in hovercrafts or planes. The racing itself is tight, but the real magic is how it mixes things up—one minute you’re drifting around a candy-themed track, the next you’re dodging lava in a jet ski. Still holds up, honestly.
