Played a ton of it on the weekend with my nephew. Still fantastic. I spent a ridiculous amount of time just sitting on the character select screen.

My wife and I were playing through this not long ago. I was playing as Tiptup the turtle, if I recall. I'm... OK at the game. My wife grew up with it, along with Rare's Banjo-Kazooie series, and therefore rocks at both.

It's a good game. Good concepts without being too much of a Mario Kart clone.

That's Cool!

The game was amazing for its time. I'm surprised Mario Kart never tried to adapt the adventure game aspect this game started.

A Mario Kart game with boss races, somewhat of a story, some Silver coin collecting, etc.

I have never played this game.... but I have the nintendo power preview tape....

*CyberCubed* · 08-23-2013, 10:01 PM

You should sell the DKR promotional tape. People will pay big bucks for Nintendo Power promotional material especially since its so rare.

I sold all my Nintendo Power advertisements/extras/subscribers bonus stuff on ebay like 2 years ago and made nearly $500 off of all of it.

People on ebay will buy anything of Nintendo's that's rare and old. I literally find old Nintendo Power or junk that's been sitting in my house for the last 15 years...and I can sell it to some random guy on ebay for quite a bit of money. It's a feel-good feeling.

tmnt transformer · 08-23-2013, 10:06 PM

I might just do that...

*Eiko* · 08-24-2013, 05:08 AM

Love this game. Use to play it all the time back in the day.

I could never bring myself to do that. I've got every NP issue, all seven Nintendo Fun Club newsletters, all four Nintendo Power Advance guides, and even Pocket Power. I know I could make a truckload of money selling all of those, and I seriously could use the cash, but I just can't do it.

I did, however, sell a tape from the Nintendo Power supplies catalog that showed you how to get the ten toughest starts in Super Mario 64. I didn't get a whole lot for that, but every little bit helped since I was trying to save up for a trip.

A classic Rare N64 game. One of my favorite games back from my childhood.

I liked the setting a lot. The world was pretty cool and fun to explore.

Man, didn't you hate those bosses? Cheating bastards.

*sdp* · 09-01-2013, 01:50 PM

The DS DKR enhanced port was pretty good as well.

This game was okay, but I just couldn't really get into it. It just felt like a huge downgrade to MK64.

Darth Knuckles · 09-18-2013, 02:56 PM

This a game that I played a lot of during the Nintendo 64 days. I was usually Timber. I liked it quite a bit and for a stretch I even played it more than Mario Kart 64. I just recently moved my Nintendo 64 and Gamecube games and consoles to a new area so I may have to play this game soon.

I always sucked at this game!
