TOP 15 Hardest Challenges in Diddy Kong Racing N64 | Adventure Two & 100% Completion (N64 Capture) 

Such a terrifying onslaught of challenges hidden underneath a bright and cheerful exterior. It's pretty amazing how much they've packed into this game. I couldn't get very far in it when I was a kid. I was way too intimidated by Wizpig back then.

So many of the coin placements for these were ridiculous. This game was so special with how much challenge was packed into this cartridge.

The worst part about the 8 coins challenges is that the AI can just be like "Meh! screw the player" and be super ahead of the race sometimes, making it impossible to win!

I remember doing most of the challenges with Pipsy. Not the fastest but the best handling let me time all the boosts properly. Lapping the entire field in Jungle Falls was my favorite part.

Diddy Kong Racing was so underrated and overshadowed. We deserve a remaster or sequel on the switch now!

20:27 Taj gives you a hint about the green boosts. If you have the captions turned on, right after beating Bluey for the first time, Taj tells you to let go of the gas right before touching a zipper. You learn and get better from there. But therein lies the problem. You need the captions on, which many players leave off. He only explains it once as it’s supposed to be a secret advanced technique.

I'm surprised the Octopus didn't make an appearance. Whale Bay and Greenwood Village are my picks for the hardest normal stages. Having to chart out 3 separate laps with no mistakes or master hard braking turns was really difficult for child me.

I spent so much time playing this game man, it’s a bit funny and weird though as I couldn’t remember any of the tracks but as you showed them it all came back. Probly cause all of my memories are of my frustration trying to unlock TT. It’s to this day one of my most difficult gaming feats. They just don’t make games like this anymore. The coin races were honestly easy compared to TT. Every track was an endurance. 3 lap races turn into 300 laps to beat.

Great video ! I hope we will see a "Banjo-Kazooie" soon, as a celebration of its 25th anniversary !

Man Wizpig.... Definitely remember yelling at the TV as a kid when having to race that SOB! Haha. I agree that he should definitely be up in the top 3. I wish i could remember more of how me and my brother unlocked TT. I wana say it was filled with alot of retrys. But that dam clock always annoyed me! Its like come on i just wana race as you! Haha great video like always 👏

My hat is off to you mate for you beating the game. Also a Subscriber from me. But second race against Dino I gived up. So I'm glad I did not Bother with the rest of the coins or wizpig or the Game after.

I just recently 100% this game again and I agree with your choices. 20:35 It is a must to know the BOOST technique which is letting go of the gas when you hit the boost to get the green for max speeds. As someone else mentioned, the game does mention the trick when you beat Taj the Genie in one of his races, but if one doesn't have captions ON, they wouldn't know I suppose. Another good TIP is for real sharp turns press and hold R and B at the same time, you can really cut tight corners quick, it's a game changer. The way I played the game, I used Diddy for all Adventure One, along the way unlocking Drumstick. After unlocking Drumstick, I used him to beat all of T.T's times. I tried with Diddy and others, they're just way too underpowered to beat T.T.'s times even if you are quick to get 10 bananas, which is another tip, get 10 bananas as soon as you can. Bananas can really boost your speed and your times will drastically improve. With Drumstick and bananas I was able to beat most of T.T's times on the first try, especially with the plane and hovercraft tracks, no problem. The three hardest T.T. tracks for me were Jungle Falls, Greenwood Village, and the worst Frosty Village. After unlocking T.T., I played Adventure Two using T.T. because he's a driving cheat code lol, and completed everything else with relative ease. Props to you for doing Adventure Two with Diddy or others, that's a challenge right there. The challenge is also adapting to using Drumstick compared to the lighter characters like Diddy because he turns so much wider but once you figure him out his speed will blow the others away, except T.T. Diddy Kong Racing is one of my favorite childhood games and I enjoyed your video.

Gotta leave it to RARE to put those few challenges that are difficult and stress inducing but not completely out of reach. The planets just have to align to accomplish them, lol. Awesome vid though, Jeff! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎮🔥 PS, it's really cool to see your viewer numbers tick up and on your way to 3.5k.

9:49 there is a safe route on this room, just go up and make sure you arent at the center

Super vidéo 😉👍+1like and su

Greenwood village where you got to collect the coins is probably the hardest level that I had to deal with the wizpig was the hardest until I figured out to let off a right before I hit a booster and it gave me a big boost after that the wiz pick wasn't nothing

This video is actually good. Also, would you do a Top 10 Hardest Missions in Perfect Dark on Perfect Agent?

loved this game way more challenging than mario kart 64 but both great

I've never beaten Wizpig. Ever. That first race is so hard.

When will they bring it to Switch!?!? 😭

Greenwood village

this game in general is too hard no wonder I never finished it
