It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.

Diddy Kong Pilot is the name of a cancelled Game Boy Advance racing title starring Diddy Kong and pals racing around courses in Planes. This build was entirely redone from the original version, before finally becoming Banjo-Pilot in 2005.

History

No information regarding this build of Diddy Kong Pilot was publicly known until October 3, 2011, when a former Rare employee, with the pseudoym "Transparentjinjo", posted a gameplay video of the build. According to the YouTube title, the game's build date was marked "February 19, 2003".[1][2] About a month later, the game leaked onto an unrelated Rare fansite.[3]

Gameplay

One of the modes is Cranky's Challenge, where the player has to be first to collect every Banana Coin.
