all games are not created equal

Diddy Kong racing was awesome!  Like Mario Kart the game was entertaining as both a multiplayer and single player game.  It had all of the same great characteristics and charm. 

However, unlike Mario Kart, DKR had an awesome story, challenges to unlock, and a sweet world to explore.  DKR also had multiple vihicle to use race with.  The boat was nothing special, but the plane was great. 

Mario Kart was an awesome game and the levels in 64 were great, but it just didn't go far enough.  It failed to make the game deeper with a story line.  IMO it just wasn't as challenging as DKR either. 

Both were great games, but DKR took cart racing to another level.
