A fresh twist on racing
Donkey Kong Jet Race was an unexpected addition to the Donkey Kong franchise, bringing the familiar characters into a high-speed jet racing game. Released for the Wii in 2009, the game featured Donkey Kong and his friends racing in jet-powered vehicles across a variety of colourful tracks. The gameplay was fast-paced and included the use of the Wii’s motion controls to steer the jet and perform stunts, adding an extra level of fun and excitement to the experience.
A new type of racing game
Unlike traditional racing games, Donkey Kong Jet Race allowed players to perform tricks in mid-air, which could give them a boost in speed or help them avoid obstacles. Players could choose from a range of characters, including Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and more, each with their own unique abilities and jet. The game’s tracks were set in vibrant environments like tropical islands and frozen caverns, keeping the gameplay visually fresh and engaging throughout.
Great for fans of Donkey Kong
While the Donkey Kong franchise is usually associated with platforming adventures, Jet Race provided a fresh take on the series, offering fans an exciting new challenge. With fun multiplayer modes and the ability to unlock additional characters and jets, the game was perfect for both solo players and those looking to compete with friends. If you’re a fan of Donkey Kong and enjoy racing games, Donkey Kong Jet Race was a fun and unique spin-off worth checking out.
