Conker everytime

megadaffy.bsky.social•51 days ago

Was either Bumper or Timber.

jargle.bsky.social•51 days ago

Pipsy! And then when I unlocked him, Drumstick! And then when I unlocked *him*, T.T.!

darkwingj.bsky.social•51 days ago

Conkers

mgdoberman.bsky.social•51 days ago

Timber or Pipsy

robertbevill.bsky.social•51 days ago

Seeing Conker there is like that pic of Luigi Mangione hanging out with his friends

alienatedyouth.bsky.social•51 days ago

Diddy or Tiptup. I've always favoured nimbler, lighter racers in games like this (it's why I've always been a Toad main in Mario Kart 😁)

jporras53.bsky.social•51 days ago

I love pink, but she was so cute. I loved this game. Hated the coin challenge, though.

acegamersam.bsky.social•51 days ago

I was always playing as Tiptup growing up !

Probably had something to do with the Ninja Turtles movies from the 90s and choosing Squirtle as a starter when I first got Pokemon Red 🙂

laduwade.bsky.social•48 days ago

It doesn't matter

chaosmaster237.bsky.social•51 days ago

Pipsy was my go to as a kid! Got my friends to hate her cuz I kept winning with her😆

eyebleedmedia.bsky.social•51 days ago

Pipsy The Mouse!!! Fight me!!!!!!!

I remember being able to handle turns better with Pipsy so.... Pipsy carried me through that whole story mode.

puzzomolto.com•51 days ago

TipTup! I didn't understand he had low top speed or anything like that, I just like turtles :)

heisman64.bsky.social•51 days ago

It was obviously Diddy, but my second pick was always Tiptup.

recollect64.bsky.social•51 days ago

Timber, the king of Pro-AM 64 🐅

kbernst30.bsky.social•51 days ago

Tiptup or bust

zelse007.bsky.social•51 days ago

I think I used Diddy until I unlocked Drumstick. Once i figured out how to drive with him, you could zoom!

myvideogames.bsky.social•51 days ago

100% Pipsy

cultofjenova.bsky.social•51 days ago

I always did Diddy, couldn't get used to the way other characters handled for some reason

woodworking-nerd.bsky.social•51 days ago

Am I the only Banjo racer here? Lol

segadude.bsky.social•51 days ago

Timber

jaconian.bsky.social•51 days ago

A combination of Bumper for most of the game, then used Tip up while trying to unlock TT and beat Wizpig (but never could).

hunkynchunky.bsky.social•51 days ago

Pipsy! Mostly cause she’s cute 😆

digityze.bsky.social•51 days ago

I was the boring kid who always picked Diddy Kong or Banjo. Could never beat Wizpig...

bryguy2365.bsky.social•50 days ago

Banjo!

danielthedeity.bsky.social•51 days ago

Conker

yeahthatspunkrock.bsky.social•51 days ago

Conker obv.^^

void-emergent-fox.bsky.social•51 days ago

A baaaaad fur day.

trashburgr.bsky.social•51 days ago

Timber. I mean, he’s a tiger!

rairailessthan3.bsky.social•51 days ago

I dont remember his name but the tiger. Ive always loved cats.

retroblast.bsky.social•51 days ago

Timber! Yea, and then he never appeared again lol.

paulmacgill.bsky.social•51 days ago

Tiptup! I like turtles

malckierob.bsky.social•51 days ago

Conker

waifumonsta.bsky.social•51 days ago

My go to racers in Diddy Kong Racing were Pipsy the Mouse and Timber the Tiger 🫶🏻

bellomancer.bsky.social•51 days ago

As much as I love my Rare mascots Banjo and Conker, I always had to be the main man himself, Diddy Kong. Just felt right.

I pray for anyone who plays Krunch, unless they're cracked and just trying to flex.

laura-the-chef.bsky.social•51 days ago

And if i felt crazy i would go with conkers

laura-the-chef.bsky.social•51 days ago

Either Diddy Kong or the mouse

stopstopping.bsky.social•51 days ago

diddy

cyram11590.bsky.social•51 days ago

Diddy Kong because I’m basic.

digfadayz.bsky.social•51 days ago

This game deserves a spiritual successor at the very least, it was so good!

digfadayz.bsky.social•51 days ago

Timber!

selinaria.bsky.social•51 days ago

Diddy all the way until TT unlocked! GOATed racing game

onebigboss.bsky.social•51 days ago

Bumper! 100%. Loved that little guy

deangullberry47.bsky.social•51 days ago

I don't care who, as long as you repeatedly press A>B to make them say their name over and over

glasswhale.bsky.social•51 days ago

TT, because it took a hell of a lot of effort to unlock him!

jaconian.bsky.social•51 days ago

Spent so much time trying to unlock TT but never did

glasswhale.bsky.social•51 days ago

It was a real arduous task especially with the later stages, you had to be even more perfect than with the wizpig boss races.

Definitely felt like a war of attrition when I completed it as a kid 😅

timojanse.bsky.social•51 days ago

Team Timber! The eyes man. The eyes.

betametroid87.bsky.social•51 days ago

Timber, because according to the story in the manual, he's the protagonist, and I felt bad for him that the title doesn't acknowledge that.

viewtifulo.com•51 days ago

Tiptup, for no particular reason 😅

eorthstapa.bsky.social•51 days ago

One of the two secret characters not on this screen! Diddy Kong Racing was such a joy to play, I feel like most of my friends defaulted to Banjo or Conker though.
