Diddy Kong Racing is very similar to Mario Kart 64, though with some adventure game elements. Not only will the various characters (From Diddy Kong to Banjo of Banjo-Kazooie fame) be able to drive Karts, they can also use a hovercraft for water & road travel, and a small airplane.
The adventure modes elements come into play in the single player game. You are given a hub world which connects to others that consist of tracks. After beating these tracks, there are boss fights, or boss races, that pit you in a race against something that isn't your standard Kart/Craft/Plane fare.
Otherwise, the gameplay follows the standards of the Kart racer genre. Pick up power-ups, hit enemies, get boosts, race on wacky tracks.
A semi-sequel Diddy Kong Racing DS was released for the Nintendo DS in 2007.
