Diddy Kong Racing is a 1997 racing game developed by Rare for the Nintendo 64, featuring Donkey Kong series characters like Diddy Kong racing across tracks in multiple vehicles. It evolved from a canceled RTS and racing prototype, was repurposed to fill the Banjo-Kazooie delay gap, became the fastest-selling video game of its era (Guinness World Record-holding), sold ~4.5 million copies, and was made by a team of just 14.
