Diddy Kong Racing on the N64 was arguably the best kart racing game ever. You can race karts, hover crafts, and planes in a variety to landscapes. The game also offered a unique mini adventure when you weren't racing.
These are all in the DS version, but there are a few faults that soil this game's fun. While some of the stylus usage can be fun, most of it is pointless or in the way. You have to spin a tire before the race to get your boost built up, but then you have to drop your stylus to press the gas button or you'll fall behind. Another irritation is that you can NOT change your controls. I would be more comfortable having my "Use" button be R or X.
Other than those key things the game is trying to capitalize on the touch screen WAY too much.
All in all, I miss the original and if you've never played it, you're missing out.
