26. Mickey's Speedway USA (N64)
Following on from Mickey's Racing Adventure, the GBC collaboration between Rare, Nintendo, and Disney, there’s a lot about Mickey’s Speedway USA that is curious. Although you get the distinct feeling that Rare was coasting with this licensed title, it says a lot about the studio's sheer talent that it could churn out a game of this quality while simultaneously producing classics like Perfect Dark and Banjo. It undoubtedly lacks the variety and imagination of Diddy Kong Racing, or the character and track design of Mario Kart 64, but technically it shines, showing what was still possible in the year 2000 on the N64.
25. R.C. Pro-AM II (NES)
A sequel to one of Rare's most memorable NES hits, R.C. Pro-Am II offers more varied circuits to race around as well as a new upgrade system. In multiplayer, the game is incredible fun, even today.
24. Diddy Kong Racing (DS)
Diddy Kong Racing DS is good but not quite great. Generally, it's very well presented with clear menus, pleasant visuals, and nice sound. However, the controls aren't quite there, probably to do with the fact the DS only has a D-pad, so it just doesn't feel as good as the original N64 classic. If you had to choose between this and Mario Kart DS, there's no competition.
