Diddy Kong Racing: Characters by Trivia

There is something mildly interesting about every character in Diddy Kong Racing. This quiz features a factoid for every playable character from both N64- and DS-versions, as well as the bosses.

A lot of this info you can find from DK vine, especially from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UnHpZINN3c

Species works if you don't remember the character's name.

Hint

Answer

This rich kid had their starring role stolen twice. I wonder if they hold a grudge.

Timber

In the time between their first appearance and DKR DS they had hit puberty, unlike their sibling.

Tiny Kong

The only friendly boss who doesn't appear in the ending cinematic of DKR 64.

Bubbler

This cosmopolitan has been seen in a train to Zürich with Mario, as well as an early build of Sea of Thieves.

T.T.

An old friend of real life comedian Ryan Stiles, who is often concerned for their well being.

Conker

The fastest driver among the (not literal) "worms". Which is why they were cursed by the game's baddie.

Drumstick

The only character to have a track (race or battle) named after them.

Smokey

Was prominently featured in the trailer for Donkey Kong Racing. Had the game come out, maybe they could have ridden a member of their own species.

Taj

More interested in procreating than racing. They were even named after a love suite in Spiller's Harbour.

Tiptup

Probably had their childhood years explored in a different game. Though it's possible the kid just shared their name and species.

Tricky

In addition to their own prominent role in DKR, other characters of their species were introduced in Donkey Kong Land, Donkey Kong 64 and Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Wizpig

Dipped their toes in the waters of Red Warf. No goldfish shoals, though. The GameBoy could not handle that.

Dixie Kong

Was originally sent to spy our heroes before joining them in an uneasy alliance. But not so uneasy he wouldn't join the conga line at the end of the game.

Krunch

Would later get the chance to live as a walrus, a dino and an octopus. But only their partner would experience the joy and power of dragonhood.

Banjo

Was originally designed to be a space adventurer before turning into a humble resident of Snowflake Mountain. Though I guess DKR turns into a space adventure by the end.

Pipsy

Was brainwashed into being half of the brainforce behind a mysterious killing robot.

Diddy Kong

Shares a name with a popular childrens' TV-show and their titular character. Also they wear a dickey.

Bluey

Was arrested for public indecensy. Maybe they were just practicing their honking animation out of the car?
