Two sequels were planned, but both were subsequently canceled in the aftermath of {{wp|Microsoft}}'s acquistion of Rare in 2002. These included ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]], the latter of which was eventually converted into the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' title, ''{{wp|Banjo-Pilot}}''. However, Rare abandoned the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' franchise after four years due to the commercial failure of ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''. Around 2004, Climax pitched their own sequel idea to Nintendo, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing Adventure]]'', but it was ultimately rejected.
