None of them had even finished the Fossil Canyon track. The music continued after the boost had finished, but I noticed one thing… The characters were all gone from the track. Once I went through it, the boost effect worked, though instead of hearing the boost sound it made a different sound that sounded like a giant clock bell being struck. When I approached it, it looked like I was going into some Solar Eclipse-looking object. That is, until I found one of those orange/red rings you could fly through to get a boost on the plane however, for some reason it was no ring at all. The characters all got off the starting line as I did, and for the most part of the race I was in last place. It was almost as if I was riding on T.T.’s shoulder and he was soaring through the level like Superman, but that didn’t make it anymore difficult. The race began as usual, though the 3rd person perspective was not shown in my character. The options for the Car and Hovercraft were eliminated. Though when I chose which vehicle to play, I could only use the Plane.

I decided to bring him to the tracks, and out of random, I chose Fossil Canyon. So when I chose T.T., he just remained silent, though the joyous music continued to play. I thought maybe the controller was broken, but everything checked out fine with it. (that took me forever to unlock, must I add), but it wouldn’t let me move it over to another character. When I started the game, everything seemed fine, until I got to the character select screen.
TT DIDDY KONG RACING CODE
Then I looked for the GameShark exclusive codes and came across one in particular entitled “SATAN” and I wondered what that was about, so I loaded my GameShark and typed that long code into DiddyKongRacings Cartridge. I had come across this one interesting site that had a whole variety of codes, such as infinite Bananas or even cheats you could already use ingame within its own code system. I got onto my computer and went to Google to type in Diddy Kong Racing GameShark Codes. So I decided, "Hey, maybe I could use cheats for DKR."

I had also realized I had an unopened GameShark Nintendo 64 that my relatives gave to me for Christmas (I didn’t know what the hell it was so I never bothered to open it) but now I realize what GameShark is and what its functions are. But instead I decided to just use my Diddy Kong Racing cartridge that I had once beaten as a child, with all levels, characters, etc. At this time, most games were being ported, remade, emulated, or brought back to us today.
