Yet another Rare Classic from the N64, Diddy Kong Racing came out to a decent fanfare, with Rare originally planning to name it Pro-Am 64; the decision was made to turn it into Diddy Kong Racing as they felt it needed a stronger IP to pull interest.

In Terms of Gameplay, I would most certainly say that Diddy Kong Racing is far more fun then Mario Kart 64, and the addition of a full Adventure Mode with boss battles; made it a fantastic journey.

Unlike the other characters, T.T. requires a lot of devotion to unlock. You have to set records on every level, and if you get a fast enough time, T.T. will request you beat his time. If you beat his time on every level, he will be unlocked. Also for those curious, while the name T.T. likely stood for "Time Trial." Rare has given T.T. an alternate name, as Diddy Kong Racing DS calls him "TickTock." There was also a different T.T. in the form of Trophy Thomas who was in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts; though he is not a clock, but rather a cheetah.

There are several mistakes made throughout this run, as unlocking T.T. is considerably harder then not, and I wanted to make this authentic to how it actually feels. So this is pretty much a raw upload, with any mistakes I made maintained.
