'''''Diddy Kong Pilot''''' is a canceled follow-up title of ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]], which was developed by [[Rare Ltd.]]. [[Diddy Kong]] was the main and titular character of the game. The game involves ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' characters racing in [[Plane]]s on {{wp|Mode 7}}-rendered courses. It was initially planned for early 2002, but around the same time, in 2002-2003, before the decision was made to design it into a ''Banjo-Kazooie'' title, ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' was being redeveloped into an entirely [[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|different game]]. In 2005, the game was finalized as a ''{{wp|Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie}}'' title, ''{{wp|Banjo-Pilot}}'' due to {{wp|Microsoft Corporation|Microsoft}}'s acquisition of Rare in 2002.
 
==History==
The game was first shown at {{wp|Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3 2001}}, and was also shown a few months later at {{wp|Nintendo Space World|Space World 2001}}.
 
One of the characters, tentatively named Redneck Kong,<ref name="DK Vine"/>, or "Crappy Kong"<ref>http://nintendoeverything.com/diddy-kong-pilot-screenshots-videos-details-and-more/</ref> was "killed off" early in the game's development, according to the September 3, 2001 edition of Scribes from Rareware<ref>"''4. Oh, let's see... Since Diddy Kong Pilot is scheduled to come out by year's end, maybe the release is close enough to merit a response to this... who's the hillbilly Kong from the character select screen? Can we at least have a name? <br/>4) Don't worry about it - he's been killed off now anyway.''" <br/>[https://web.archive.org/web/20020805043822/http://rareware.com/the_site/talk_to_us/scribes/sep3_01/sep3_01.html September 3, 2001 edition of Scribes on Rareware]</ref> and Jens Christian Restemeier, one of the game's developers.<ref>[https://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,182799/ Jens Christian Restemeier - MobyGames profile]</ref> [[Candy Kong]] would subsequently appear in the background for character selection menus.<ref>[http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/07/diddy-kong-pilot-banjo-pilot-beta Unseen64]</ref> The tilt pack idea was dropped during development.<ref name="DK Vine"/>
 
One of the builds, said to be presented at a Space World 2000, consisted of a cast featuring both ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' characters, which would have been a first for a ''Donkey Kong'' spinoff. This version allowed players to select between six ''Donkey Kong'' characters ([[Diddy Kong]], [[Cranky Kong]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[King K. Rool]], [[Funky Kong]], and [[Dixie Kong]]) and six ''Mario'' characters ([[Princess Peach]], [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]] sitting atop a [[Lakitu's Cloud]], [[Wario]] piloting a red biplane similar to the [[Bulldog]], [[Bowser]], and [[Toad]]). Not much information is known regarding this build or its history.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DRAqj__5eA "Diddy Kong Pilot - Very Early Beta Spaceworld" on YouTube]</ref>
 
By October 2001, the game was nearing 70% completion,<ref>Nintendo Space World 2001 Official Guidebook</ref> and was planned for release on March 4, 2002.<ref name="nwr"/>
 
In 2002, [[Nintendo]] refused to publish ''Diddy Kong Pilot'', as they found the game "substandard". One of their criticisms was "There's no point in flying up and down on flat levels")<ref name="DK Vine">[http://www.dkvine.com/?p=1082 DK Vine]</ref> Some Rare employees believed the company was prejudiced since it occurred in a time period just before the Microsoft acquisition. None of the Rare games except ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox Adventures|Star Fox Adventures]]'' were presented at E3 2002.
 
Rare's other two ''Donkey Kong'' titles from E3 2001, ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers]]'', were canceled in August 2002,<ref>[https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/7645/changes-to-rares-website Changes to Rare's Website]</ref> one month before Microsoft's acquisition of Rare, while ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' received no official announcement of the cancelation.
 
On September 15, 2011, after ten years of no new information regarding the game, a former Rare employee, under the pseudonym of Transparentjinjo, posted gameplay footage of the game on YouTube.<ref>[https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18144367 Niconico reupload]</ref> According to the video's title, the build was dated "September 7, 2001".<ref>[https://www.neogaf.com/threads/new-diddy-kong-pilot-footage-appears.447203/ NeoGAF thread]</ref>
 
==Gameplay==
''Diddy Kong Pilot'' featured six modes: Racing, Stories, Dog Fights, Battle, Clock Race, and Options. The build is largely unfinished as most of the stages are nearly empty, some only having a backdrop and a few assets laid out on the stage. Many of the modes, such as Dog Fights, are non-functional. The gameplay essentially only consists of flying around on a course. Some features were never implemented such as plane customization,<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20010709053857/http://www.rareware.com:80/the_site/e3/dk_pilot.html Rareware.com (Wayback Machine)]</ref> or unlockable characters, stories, and stages.<ref name="np">[[Media:NP 06 2001 Rareware page.jpg|''Nintendo Power'' #145, page 15]]</ref>
 
===Debug menu===
[[File:DKP debug menu.png|thumb|The debug menu]]
Upon starting up the game, the player is instantly led onto a debug menu, and it has three options: Level, Player, and Blend. The first option allows them to choose a course, and the second one allows them to select a character (Cranky). The "level" options include:
 
{| class="dktable-brown" style="text-align:
|'''Beach 00'''
|'''Beach 01'''

|}
{{footnote|note|1|Inaccessible from debug}}
 
The second option, "Player" has six numerical values, labeled 0-5. Each of them represent a playable character:
 
*0: Cranky Kong
*1: Diddy Kong
*2: Krunch
*3: K. Rool
*4: Dixie Kong
*5: Donkey Kong (Select him causes Cranky Kong instead)
*6: Diddy Kong instead Candy Kong (only selectable by using cheats;{{footnote|main|2}} same functional as selecting Dixie Kong in the select character)
{{footnote|note|2|Apply 020000DC:06 in code}}
 
The final option, Blend, does not appear to have a function. It has four options: Off, Alpha, Up, and Down.
 
===Modes===
[[File:Bounty Beach DKP2001 screenshot.png|thumb|Diddy Kong racing in the first course, Bounty Beach]]
The player can exiting to the main menu by opening the pause menu. It has three options which are self-explanatory: Continue, Restart, and Quit. Few of the further developed courses also redirect the player to the main menu after they complete all three laps.
 
The main menu has six modes: Racing, Stories, Dog Fights, Battle, Clock Race, and Options. It is also the only part of the game to have a music track.
 
[[File:Character Select 2001 - Diddy Kong Pilot.png|thumb|left|The character selection screen]]
Before starting a mode, the player must select a character. The selection menu is very buggy, and choosing a character causes a different one to be playable, except for [[Cranky Kong]]. For instance, selecting [[Diddy Kong]] causes [[Krunch]] to be playable instead. The sound that each character makes when highlighted does not correspond to the correct character as well. When a character is highlighted, they are not aligned with their sepia shadow; additionally, the sepia backdrop has Candy Kong but highlighting her shows Redneck Kong instead, meaning the color character select screen had not been edited yet; Cranky Kong's pose is different as well. The following "Select World" menu shows the character that will actually be played as, with the exception of when Dixie is selected. In this case, a glitchy black rectangle taking up the entirety of the character sprites' parameters will be shown, and playing will result in Diddy appearing. As such, the rectangle is likely the remains of Redneck Kong's data.
 
The Racing mode allows the player to select a world, each with an associated level difficulty. Unlike its predecessor, ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' only features four characters racing on a course at a time; the main goal remains the same: racing three laps around a course and getting first place. Many of the core features are similar to ''Diddy Kong Racing'', for instance how the player can collect [[banana]]s and pick up an item from item balloons appearing around the course. [[Dash Panel|Zipper]]s also return in the courses, and they give racers a speed boost.
 
The Stories mode has three out of seven different stories: King of Kongs (Diddy Kong), Back to the Light (Dixie Kong), and K. Rool's Gold (K. Rool). This mode is almost entirely nonfunctional, but it was intended to have a unique story for a certain character and a final boss at the end.<ref>[http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/6322 New Tidbits on Various Rare Titles - Nintendo World Report]</ref><ref>[http://www.raregamer.co.uk/games/diddy-kong-pilot-nintendo-retrospective/ Diddy Kong Pilot Nintendo Retrospective]</ref>
 
The Dogfight mode features players fighting against each other. There are four options and none can be accessed: Classic Dogfight, a Dawn Duel, a Classic Variation, or a Focal Feud.
[[File:Hatch Match DKP 2001 screenshot.png|thumb|Gameplay of Hatch Match, a game of Battle mode]]
The Battle mode was planned to be a multiplayer mode, and its icon shows a crate containing miscellaneous objects. Another version has a different icon showing four original Game Boy Advance units hooked to each other via a Link Cable.
 
The Clock Race mode was presumably planned as the Time Trials mode. It has little to no difference from the Racing mode, but it allows the player to easily select a stage, similar to the debug menu. Unlike the debug menu, most of the stages crash in this option.
 
Options only gives the option to use either D-Pad or tilt control to steer the plane.
 
==Controls==
*{{button|GBA|Pad}} or {{button|GBA|tilt}}: Move in the desired direction.
*{{button|GBA|A}}: Acceleration
*{{button|GBA|B}}: Use weapon
*{{button|GBA|L}} or {{button|GBA|R}}: Tilt at a sharper angle
*{{button|GBA|L}} or {{button|GBA|R}} (twice): aerial roll
*{{button|GBA|R}} and {{button|GBA|Pad}} Down (twice while accelerating): U-turn
*{{button|GBA|Start}}: Pause the game
 
==Playable characters==
[[File:Dog Fights DKP 2001.png|thumb|right|"Dog Fights" icon]]
The character selection menu is highly incomplete, as highlighting a character would trigger a sound effect from an unrelated character. The game was planned to include more than seven characters.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/05/23/diddy-kong-pilot IGN]</ref> Selecting a character causes the game to choose an entirely different character instead. Redneck Kong was playable in earlier builds, such as E3 2001, and was a very short-lived idea from the designer of the project.<ref name="DK Vine"/> He was replaced by [[Candy Kong]] in a later build. Despite her appearing on the character selection screen, she was not implemented in the September 7, 2001 build. She also appeared on the main menu, in the "Dog Fights" animated icon and battle mode portrait.

==Items==
Most of the items reappeared from ''Diddy Kong Racing'' except for peanuts, watermelons, and eggs. The player can carry up to a few items at a time. Most of the items can be obtained from sky blue-colored item balloons with a yellow question mark on them. Item balloons also have a green and DK variant, and both have unfinished functionality. Both provide an item, either with an icon of Cranky or Diddy, and neither are functional.

|Peanuts
|Peanuts can be fired at other opponents; based on the count, the player can either shoot out five or ten at a time. Unlike rockets, these items do not have lock-on capabilites.

|Egg
|The egg functions similarly to the watermelon except that it also moves around in a circular pattern.

==Race tracks==
The game was planned to features 24 tracks. The last world is likely unlockable. There are only 5 playable tracks instead of 24 in this build, it marked as a bold.

==Trivia==
*The background of the Stories menu has two photographs resembling [[:File:DKRScene3.jpg|official]] [[:File:Wizpig and Diddy DKR art.jpg|artwork]] from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''.
*The map of Magma Mainland would be reused in ''Banjo-Pilot'' as the lower background layer of the dogfight against [[Bottles]] in the Feather Cup, but the track itself cannot be raced on. Differences include: a darker layer consisting of both the lava and the track; a big hole in the center; the removal of the finish line and boosts; and the removal of the cracks in the center island.
