Nuts & Bolts is a platformer/racer. It's not quite Diddy Kong Racing if that's what you mean. You can get out of your car at any time and go it on foot. Banjo's abilities are more limited, but there's still some platforming in the game. It is mostly a racer though. That said, the racing itself isn't really like a normal racing game. That is, getting to a finish line is rarely the objective. Most of the time they seem to merge platforming with the vehicles, with objectives like making a car that can float in water, or one that's heavy enough to flip over a board. It's a fun game, certainly one of the funner ones Rare's made in a while.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
