There were no cars or go-karts, but 3-wheeled vehicles.Д«ut when - and more importantly, how - did Pro-Am 64 actually become Diddy Kong Racing? Musgrave fills us in: вЂњPro-Am 64 had gotten to a stage where it was being called exactly that the title screen was done, and it had all new IP invented characters.

In June 1997, the game was known as RC Pro Am 64.

Nintendo had no involvement in DKRвЂ™s early stages and Rare was free to develope their racing game as they want: and thatвЂ™s how Adventure Racers became a sequel to RC-Pro AM, an old Rare title published for the NES.

At this point of development, DKR was known as вЂњ Wild Cartoon KingdomвЂќ and the world was a lot more theme-park based, with a central HUB that interlinked the different attractions (idea that was keep in the final game).ДЄs the Wild Cartoon Kingdom concept convinced the bosses at Rare, they decided to organize a whole team to work fulltime on the game, and the project evolved into вЂњ Adventure RacersвЂњ. We had a go at it, but in the end it looked like the racing game had more legsвЂќ.ДЄs Rare did not want to just create a carbon copy of Mario Kart, they decided to add some adventure elements in the game, that were influenced by Disney World. I rendered a few catapults, but other than that it didnвЂ™t go anywhere and died after a month. вЂњJust before Diddy Kong Racing, there was a monthвЂ™s worth of work on a strategy game that I did with Chris Stamper, but that was in the style of Command & Conquer and not related. Musgrave confirms that this was never the case. The previous work did not get wasted as they used some of the RTS assets (as a mammoth) to populate the racing game in its early stages of development. The RTS proto did not last long and soon the team decided to evolve the project into a fun racing game, that would have been more compatible with N64 gamers. As we can read in an interesting retrospective article on the game published on GamesTM (an english magazine) and reported by MundoRare, originally DKR was born as a prototype for a new Real Time Strategy game for the N64 with a caveman / time-travel theme, worked on by a team of four (Chris Stamper, Lee Musgrave, Rob Harrison and Lee Schuneman). Diddy Kong Racing is an arcade / multiplayer racing game developed by Rare and released for the Nintendo 64 in 1997.
