As a kid it was great to have both, they have both multiplayer, with powerups. DiddykongRacing had more Variety in Tracks, with its boats and planes, and Lava,snow and space themed tracks. Both good Games
Popped my Diddy Kong Racing in about 6 months ago to see how it held up.
It doesn’t.
The gameplay in Mario Kart is way better. The racing in DKR feels clunky. I realized the main reason I liked DKR back in the day was because it had a single player campaign and a lot of secrets to find. I still respect it for those qualities, but it is not a better racing game than Mario Kart.

Mario Kart was played for racing, and balloon battles. Diddy Kong Racing was all about Fire Mountain (the game where you capture the eggs).
PLANES!
Pfft, icicle pyramid is better
Yeah but Mario Kart didn’t have a soundtrack CD shaped like Mario’s head that broke CD players.
