The menu's theme is re-composed in a banjo when the player highlights him. On the character selection screen, Banjo's theme instrument is the banjo. At the end of the world, the winning character races Wizpig again, who rides on a rocket missile for the rematch. However, Wizpig returns, and the racers go to his homeworld.

Eventually, the eight racers, with the help of Taj and T.T., drove Wizpig back to his home planet, Future Fun Land. All the characters compete in a variety of racing challenges to liberate the island and decide who would race Wizpig. In turn, he sends Squawks to contact his friends, one of whom is Banjo. In Diddy Kong Racing, when Wizpig invaded Timber's Island, Timber calls for Diddy Kong's assistance. There are also four battle modes of play - two standard deathmatch maps, a capture-the-flag style battle where you must nab eggs and hatch three of them in your home nest, and another where you must be the first to return ten bananas to your treasure chest (with the limitation of only being able to hold two at any one time).Banjo races in Walrus Cove of Diddy Kong Racing Up to four players can compete in the races, but in order to play new tracks, they must first be unlocked in the single player game. This gives the player the choice of snatching every balloon available and using it immediately, or storing the existing weapon, and using a more powerful version of it later. Each colored balloon on the track matches a specific weapon, and collecting the same type of balloon multiple times in a row powers it up (to a maximum of three times). The game also features a strategic method of using weapons. In this mode, in addition to coming first, you must also find the eight Silver Coins deviously hidden throughout the courses (some in alternate paths). DKR includes an adventure mode, which features bosses, an overworld to explore, many hidden secrets, the addition of hovercrafts and planes, and a unique way of racing called the "Silver Coin Challenge". Along for the ride are the Kremling spy Krunch, Bumper Badger, Banjo (prior to meeting Kazooie in Banjo-Kazooie), pre-sweary Conker, Tiptup Turtle, and Pipsy Mouse.ĭiddy Kong Racing is a racing game with similarities to Mario Kart 64, in that you race with a variety of cheery racers while using weapons.
