Original DKR developer Rare was hard at work on a GameCube sequel to the Nintendo 64 racer that involved
riding animal pals like Enguarde the Swordfish and Rambi the Rhino instead of cars, hovercrafts, and planes.
A scene in which Spot's
animal pals, cigar - smoking parakeet Pretty Boy (Jerry Stiller) and fey cat Jolly (David Ogden Stiers), hitch a
ride on the top of a train, is both delirious and disgusting.
