Which element of DKR is most important to consider in any game trying to be like DKR?









Diddy Kong Racing was great and I don't know many games trying to do what it did so well. What's come out since its original release that helps scratch that itch?

Voted Overworld, but all of these are essential to the DKR experience.

sonic all star racing transformed is probably the closest thing I can think of, and also probably the best kart racer in 20 years

but at the end of the day nothing really compares to what DKR tried to do

I mean, they remade Crescent Island from DKR in Crash Team Racing during its development to prove that they could do it on Playstation, then modeled the entire game after that.

So CTR, Nitro Kart, and Nitro Fueled definitely are the most obvious successors, almost directly so.

"Multiple vehicles" is winning the poll, and yet that's arguably the thing in the poll that's been done more times than anything else.

I think the thing in DKR that was most novel was just the idea of hiding hidden collectibles in a racing game

Yeah, I am surprised you haven't played some of the Crash racing games because some of them are heavily inspired by DKR

Going in a different direction, DKR feels like a precursor to the open world ChoroQ "CarPG" games. They used largely traditional racing but greatly expanded on the exploration and secret-hunting aspects.

Outside of that, definitely some overlap in structure with CTR. The multiple vehicles thing has been done a fair few times, with MotorStorm coming to mind as a more modern implementation. And let's not sleep on the parallel evolution exhibited in Sonic R, which took mid-race collectables and secrets even further than Rare did.
