Yesterday or so, i saw a "McCabinet" in the play area at McDonalds with the title screen "Mickey Mouse USA" that was a blatant rip-off of "Diddy Kong Racing".

Even the level in DKR where you are on the beach, the only major change was the ship was removed from the level!

This is crazy.

Only other changes were character, item, and vehicle models.

This was at the McDonalds at the corner of the Arizona Loop-101 and Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard (aka Bell Road) in case you are a local and like snooping around arcade cabinets.

Google Satellite View

Just be warned, if they see you playing for more than 3 to 5 minutes and you look over age 14 or 15, they will remotely reset the cabinet over and over to make you go away, in case you might be a pedophile.

Theoretically, I only recall experiencing this once though, if resetting the McCabinet over and over doesn't make you leave, they display on the McCabinet's screen, the video input from the camera in the cabinet.

Yep that's the game. They didn't put much effort into the mod, imo.

I've played this game and recall that the physics and tracks are very different from those of Diddy Kong Racing. It's basically like saying that Diddy Kong Racing is a Mario Kart rip off.

The rendering done by the engine is virtually identical. I didn't actually stand there and play the game, I damn well know enough that it is in-fact the same engine used in Diddy Kong Racing, despite physics adjustments. For example, in this game the carts are slow as hell.

Also I damn well know the starting title screen demo track is nearly identical to the one beach track in Diddy Kong Racing, minus changes where you drive into the pirate ship, and adjustments in track overall length.

This is what goes through my mind every time i go to McDonald's:
YouTube :: McRoll'd

Yes, this is the same music from the "Crazy Stick Fight" or whatever cartoons on NewGrounds.com.

They always act like I am going to rob them.

It is probably because I look like this when I enter:

what i see:


what they see:

That is not very related to the topic. And I suggest you try Mickey Mouse USA by emulation, you will notice that the physics and the way cars are driven is very different from that of Diddy Kong Racing, and if only one track is similar but the rest are different, I wouldn't call it a rip-off (Rip off would be if they just changed the characters and disguised the tracks, but here something very different happened.)

here we go! NewGrounds :: Madness Combat 4
-edit-
NewGrounds :: Madness Combat 8

In one of the Madness Combat videos is the music "McRoll'd" synthesized.

I can't seem to find it.

-edit-

NewGrounds :: Madness Combat 5

Apparently, he updated this video and it no longer has the original ending nor music.
