Template:Series-infobox 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 but features only Donkey Kong characters.

Since its first generation on the Nintendo 64, a long hiatus was caused by 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.

Featuring ten playable characters (two of which would later both receive their own games, Banjo and Conker) and 25 different racecourses, Diddy Kong Racing was a success receiving the Player's Choice title.

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 Wi-Fi matches.

Cancelled Games

Title and System Synopsis
Diddy Kong Pilot

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 Banjo-Pilot.
Game Boy Advance Was originally unveiled at E3 2001.
Donkey Kong Racing

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. It was seen at E3 2001. After the buyout of Rare, the game was soon reworked into Sabreman Stampede for the Xbox 360 but, this iteration of the installment was cancelled.
Nintendo GameCube Was originally unveiled at E3 2001.
