Template:Infobox Diddy Kong Pilot was a planned sequel to Diddy Kong Racing, but with flying as the only means of transport. However, Nintendo found the game substandard[1] and did not want to publish it, leading to it being cancelled. After its cancellation and after Rare was sold to Microsoft, Diddy Kong Pilot was converted into the game Banjo-Pilot in 2005.

The game was first shown at Spaceworld 2001, where its cast consisted of both Donkey Kong Country and Mario characters - a first for a Donkey Kong Country spin-off. This version allowed players to take control of Diddy Kong, Princess Peach, Mario, Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong, King K. Rool, Yoshi (sitting atop a Lakitu's Cloud), Wario (piloting a red biplane similar to the Bulldog), Bowser, Funky Kong, Dixie Kong, and Toad.[2] However, a later build revised the roster to Krunch, Dixie Kong, Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, King K. Rool, Candy Kong, Cranky Kong and a character tentatively called "Redneck Kong." [1], who was "killed off" early in development according to one of the developers. There is a screenshot showing a rocket boost in it which revealed that rocket boosts were probably going to be an item in the game. This game was also going to use the tilt sensor[3]
