But they managed to do it, and with the full marketing power of Nintendo behind the game now that it was their only 1997 holiday release, Diddy Kong Racing did gangbusters. Now that Rare had settled on Diddy Kong, it was time to change up the game’s visuals and story, which the team had less than six months to do to meet their deadlines. But, the Banjo-Kazooie team wanted to work on their game more so that it would measure up to the behemoth that was Super Mario 64. At the time, the N64 game that was meant to anchor the 1997 holiday season was Rare’s own Banjo-Kazooie. So now you’re saying to yourself - wait a minute, I’ve never heard of an RC Pro-Am game for the N64, how did this become Diddy Kong Racing? Well! While the team quickly developed the racing game they internally called Pro-Am 64, even creating new characters and fully 3D models - things took a sudden turn in July 1997. That’s right, while many might think Diddy Kong Racing was a knock-off of Mario Kart, Rare’s RC Pro-Am is actually considered a precursor to Mario Kart! Oh what tangled webs we weave. But the first Mario Kart, Super Mario Kart, debuted in 1992 on the Super Nintendo, years after RC Pro-Am.

Wait a minute - racing plus combat, that sounds similar to Mario Kart. What made the original RC Pro-Am series so innovative when it came out during these “olden” NES days of 1988 was that it was not just a competitive racing game - RC Pro-Am also featured vehicular combat.
