DKR is the best racing game, I even say it is better than all of the
Mario Karts.
It just has cool tracks, good story (which Mario Kart lacks in), and
good old fasion duking it out with your friends action!
(okay that last sentance was a littlewierd at the end)

TipTup is the best!

...  All of the Mario Kart games?  Obviously you haven't played Double Dash yet.

Well your right. Double Dash is great fun :D
I still like DKR, because it has the old feeling of oldness

In what way?  The grainy graphics?  The shallow yet fulfilling story?  Or just that it has the option to manage your memory card?

Not impossible
just highly unlikely
It's not that Mario Kart lacks in story, it's that DKR has an unnecesary story added on to it. A racing game does not NEED a story.

I spent a lot of time in DKR.  It was a fun game, certainly better than Double Dash.

That being said, F-Zero GX wipes them all away.  Like, totally leaves them in the dust and/or smashes them to bits.

...  Well then again, I guess everyone deserves an opinion  :?
Or is it just a few who deserve that choice to have an opinion on only giving opinions to an opinion starved world where an opinion can draw blood...  (get it?  O Pin ion...A pin yon...  I dunno what yon means..  but for the sake of my progress let's just say it means anger)
...  Welp I lost myself...

I didnt really like DKR much. It was a little bit too hard for me.

As for the other one, like I said earlier, MKDD=Evil!

F-ZERO GX is my favorite and I do believe it is the best.

Another one of my favorites is Need For Speed Underground.

Rush 2049 is still my favorite racing game.  Shame it'll be a while, or maybe never, till another rush comes out.

F-Zero GX is great and all, but Rush 2049 was just....well, its hard to explain. 

F-Zero GX was too easy though, everything but some of the hard/very hard story things, which were more "aggrivating" than "Challenging"

likewise, i have yet to play MKDD.

You're right about that.

I always thought DKR was many things, but never the best racing game.
1 - Slow.  Even in the planes, you're going like 10 mph.  How can a plane go that slow?
2 - REALLY juvinille.  I was always expecting smiling flowers and rainbow unicorns (?) to start prancing around.
3 - A good game.  Just because it wasn't my favorite, I still thought it was good.  The three-craft system was nice.

As far as what I think the best racing game is, F-Zero GX takes the cake with Episode One Racer in a close second.  (Two pretty similar games)  I disagree that it was too easy, since dying once means an instant end to the race with only a few lives.  I also like the mario-kartish point system.

1 - Slowness for me dosen't faze me
2 - I like really juvinille stuff, because it makes me look back at my younger years
3 - I have too say the same about the three-craft system also

I still think it is great.

Yeah man, like woah, you're crampin my style!

And also, I nevr thought about the 3 car thingy.  I also liked that, it was very unique to any other game...  And now that I think back...  I hate DKR  because of the freaken genie guy...  Evil or Very Mad  grr he pissed me off.  But I also hated the control on most of the vehicles, it seemed like it always pulled in every direction at once and when you move you stop like a rock...  And oh the medal things or w/e (can't remember what it was)  of doing that to get to the next track...  Why?  Why can't you just go on ahead?  Oh well, better luck next time Myke =(

Thats actually something i disliked about the game.

they had 8 balanced racers, but then the two unlockables... mainly T.T. was FAR better in just about every circumstance, nothing could compare to his speed.

Balance = good.

You're right about T.T., but other than his unfairness,it is really awesome.  Still TipTup beats all when it comes to me.

You mean Wizpig?  Anyways, T.T. is hard but all you need is skill and a little luck.  Most of his times are easy,  only a few are difficult.

I forget how but I unlocked him... There was also the rooster but unlocking him wasn't all that hard (if I remember, you just run down the frog to free him)

I liked how you had to unlock tracks or the tracks you race to get the coins (so hard!) and the keys to unlock the battle tracks

DD bugged me though I didn't play it much

To run over the frog to unlock him.  You have to beat all the normal tracks,  excluding the space tracks.  You'll find a frog with a rooster comb.  Run over it.  He then is freed and playable.  Drumstick's the name.  Can't forget DKR character names.  Never have, never will.

DKR!!! THE HARDEST RACER IVE EVER PLAYED!!!!!

the general races were fine, it was the flipping bosses that did my head in! Hundreds of attempts at beating Wizpig! HUNDREDS I SAY!!!! and that's just the normal mode, thats not counting the even more attempts to beat Mirror mode, which I dont think I ever did...
