'''''Donkey Kong Racing''''' games have been produced since 1997 with ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]]. In the vein of other Donkey Kong/Diddy Kong sport games, it features Diddy Kong and/or Donkey Kong and an all-star cast competing in a racing game. It is very similar to the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] but features only ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' characters.
 
Since its first generation on the [[Nintendo 64]], a long hiatus was caused by [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]]'s buy-out by Microsoft, and two DKR games that had been in production had to be cancelled. In 2007, two games of the series were eventually released and brought the series back to life.

|Years later, after Microsoft bought out Rare, two planned ''Diddy Kong Racing'' games had to be cancelled. Nintendo and Rare teamed up again to create ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', a remake of the original with many notable differences, including [[Tiny Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] replacing Banjo and Conker, and [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi]] matches.

!''Diddy Kong Pilot''
[[File:Diddypilot.png|100px]]
|''[[Diddy Kong Pilot]]'' was the planned sequel to ''Diddy Kong Racing'', but instead focusing only on flying and nothing else. Due to Rare being acquired by Microsoft, Rare was already far at work into the game and instead of scrapping it altogether, the game was removed of all Donkey Kong references and was turned into ''[[wikipedia:Banjo-Pilot|Banjo-Pilot]]''.

|''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'' is another cancelled game, this one focusing on Donkey Kong instead of Diddy Kong. It would feature new [[Animal Friends]] such as a gigantic [[Rambi]] and a purple [[Enguarde]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ThbbN3o5yw It was seen at E3 2001.] After the buyout of Rare, the game was soon reworked into ''[[wikipedia:Sabreman (series)|Sabreman]] Stampede'' for the Xbox 360 but, this iteration of the installment was cancelled.
