Diddy Kong Pilot (2001 build)

Diddy Kong Pilot is a canceled Diddy Kong based video game for the Game Boy Advance, supposedly to be a sequel to Diddy Kong Racing. Not much else is known about this game, besides the fact that it was actually re-developed into Banjo-Pilot.

Luckily, on September 15, 2011, a YouTube and Rare member Transparentjinjo posted a gameplay video here of this game on how progress was like while still in development as of September 7, 2001. A ROM version was released on January 13, 2013 and can be found here.

Overview
Diddy Kong Pilot was supposed to be the next game in the Diddy Kong Racing line of video games, to be released for the Game Boy Advance. It was presumably the sequel to Diddy Kong Racing, due to the screenshots of flight gameplay very similar to Diddy Kong Racing ' s, though exclusively flying likely to the Game Boy Advance's limitations. The character cast returns Diddy from the previous game, and was to include Donkey Kong, Dixie, Cranky, Candy and an unnamed Kong know to most as "Redneck Kong". The only other Kremling character in the game was to be King K. Rool.

Aside that, the game was also going to have a tilt sensor, much like Yoshi Topsy Turvy does. As the game was not far in development, other stuff happens; only the title screen has music and most of the courses are unfinished. Also, some courses are all still glitched. The modes in the game include a racing mode, story mode, dogfight mode, battles mode, a Clock Race mode and a options mode where the only option is whether to use tilt control or not.

Diddy Kong Pilot would have also featured a story mode where all of the characters would have their own story to play through.
