![]() If the player defeats Wizpig in Future Fun Land, obtains all amulet pieces and collect all the gold medals, the player will be able to play in a mode called "Adventure 2". Each world contains four racetracks, an unlockable battle stage and a race against a boss character. The worlds are opened up by collecting balloons, except for Future Fun Land, which is unlocked after defeating Wizpig for the first time and rank 1st place in all four Trophy Races of the original worlds. Players begin on Timber's Island, which consists of five interconnected worlds Dino Domain, Snowflake Mountain, Sherbet Island, Dragon Forest, and Future Fun Land. In "Adventure Mode", players control the racer of their choice to progress through the story. If a racer gets hit, two bananas will be deducted. A maximum of ten bananas will improve the speed, but can also be obtained to prevent other players from gaining speed. Additionally, racetracks contain non-regenerating bananas that add to speed when they are picked up. A total of two upgrades are available for each balloon. If multiple balloons of the same colour are picked up, the power-up will be upgraded to a more powerful version. Red balloons grant missiles to attack racers ahead, blue balloons grant a speed boost, yellow balloons grant shields to protect the player from attacks, green balloons grant deployable traps to delay other racers, and rainbow balloons grant a magnet ability that brings the player closer to the nearest racer. ![]() There are five different types of balloons: red, blue, green, yellow, and rainbow. Each racetrack has a set of boosters known as "zippers" that temporarily boost the player's speed, as well as featuring regenerating balloons of various colours that provide power-ups. The aeroplane is designed to access aerial areas it is good at acceleration and manoeuvring, but it has the slowest speed. The hovercraft is designed for both sand and water areas, but lacks in acceleration and manoeuvrability. The car is an all-round vehicle, but it is the slowest on surfaces such as sand and water. In Diddy Kong Racing, players can choose one of ten characters, who have access to three different vehicles: car, hovercraft and aeroplane. From left to right clockwise, the interface displays the player's current position, number of laps, bananas, time, and track outline. Gameplay Timber the Tiger racing in Fossil Canyon. An enhanced remake for the Nintendo DS titled Diddy Kong Racing DS was released worldwide in early 2007. A sequel named Donkey Kong Racing was in development for the GameCube, but was abandoned in August 2002, one month before Microsoft purchased Rare for £375 million. The game has sold 4.8 million copies since release and stands as the Nintendo 64's eighth best-selling game. The graphics, audio and gameplay were the most praised aspects of the game, with minor criticism directed at the game's repetition. Due to the delays of Banjo-Kazooie, Rare felt that they needed a stronger intellectual property to attract a wider audience for a game scheduled to release before Christmas 1997, thus making the decision to base a game on the character of Diddy Kong.ĭiddy Kong Racing received critical acclaim upon release. As time progressed, the focus of development shifted from a Walt Disney World-influenced racing game to a unique title named Pro-Am 64, in which Nintendo had no involvement. ![]() Timber Island is loosely based on the geographical landscapes of the United States.ĭevelopment began after the release of Killer Instinct 2, and was intended to be a real-time strategy game known as Wild Cartoon Kingdom in its early stages. Diddy Kong Racing features five worlds with four racetracks each, and the ability to drive a car, hovercraft, or pilot an aeroplane. The player can take control of any of the featured characters throughout the game. The game is set on Timber's Island and revolves around Diddy Kong and his friends' attempt to defeat the intergalactic antagonist, a wizarding pig named Wizpig, through winning a series of races. Diddy Kong Racing is a 1997 racing video game developed and published by Rare for the Nintendo 64.

When you’re getting rushed by the Dran in Losom you will regularly hit multiple at a time. Oh and in case you didn’t know, this weapon’s shots penetrate targets. Realistically, since this weapon fires 2 shots at once your actual crit chance is 70% (first shot) and then 100% (second) and your crit dmg is boosted by 50% (first) and then 80% (second). If you’re running Hunter + Gunslinger this nets you crit chance of 35% on your first shot and then 50% on your second shot (since the target is now likely to be bleeding). Going further you can use the Twisted Wounds mutator (causes bleeding on crit) and Abrasive Whetstone (more crit chance and crit dmg vs bleeding targets). Obviously you would also want to use Probability Cord for even more added crit dmg. If you find the mod too annoying and impractical to use you can try Burden of the Gambler for the added crit and crit dmg (it disables weak spots).

![]() My only other caveat is that sometimes people dawdle when drawing so you might want to occasionally impose a timer as a bit of a house rule. Even then some of the subjects are a little on the nose for younger members of the family, but that may not matter to you. There are two available, the original from 2016, yellow box, and a version from this year, green box, that has less risque cards in it. I would say that if you are going to think about picking up Scrawl to play with the family that you should be a little careful with the edition you get. None of that really matters though as what you inevitably end up doing is playing until you feel like stopping. Ostensibly there is a scoring system points are handed out to those whose final words or art most closely resembles the starting prompt and for the favourite drawing or words each player likes the most. Cries of ‘what’s that meant to be?’ and ‘you though this was what?’ resonate around the table. Each new reveal is accompanied by shock, laughter and people trying not to spit out their drink. With each card turned over your memories turn sour and dark as things inevitably take a turn for the worse. You’ll look at it fondly, remebering each line and stroke like it was only ten minutes ago. One by one you will turn over your stack of drawings and words, commencing with your original sketch. The real laughs come when your original work of art comes back round to its rightful home. “3 of the Spice Girls they are numbered” is a personal favourite. ![]() Drawing and interpreting is funny, frustrating and horrifying in equal measure as you try and decipher the scrawls, see what they did there, of the artistically challenged and sketch the words of those who have seen sights no one should see. They will look at you with a mixture….you get the idea. This new description now becomes the subject of drawing for the next person on your left. The ritual complete, they will put a new dry wipe sheet on top of your picture and write a description of what they have seen. They will curse your name and those of your family. Then at you with a mixture of disgust and confusion. The new owner of your work of art will look at it. Once done everyone passes their masterpiece to the person on the left. Every round each player gets a subject to draw. My regular group had grown in number and I was now seeking out games to potentially accommodate 7 players and I realised Scrawl fitted the bill as it would take up to 8 players and had a short play time. Whilst I had fun I’d kind of forgotten about it till this year. By the time your masterpiece of OAP Conga Line passes through your. Originally released in 2016 I had first played Scrawl when Tabletop Cafe was still open in Edinburgh. Start off with a loaded phrase, doodle it, then pass it on. Frankly it’s probably better if you can’t. Rule Randomizer to spice things up with new, weird rules. Scrawl Stopwatch to speed up the slow doodlers. This is a party game of Pictionary meets Telephone that requires absolutely no ability to draw. Scrawl: the game of disastrous doodles and godawful guesses. If you’ve listened to our Brainwaves Awards Show Special, you’ll know that I nominated Scrawl from Big Potato Games as my game of the year. ![]() Once again you can get fast and free shipping on their website or find the best price on Amazon.
