Diddy Kong Pilot was an airplane racing game for the Game Boy Advance developed by Rareware before its cancelation. The game would be later repurposed as a new game called Banjo-Pilot released for the Game Boy Advance in 2005. It is a Mario Kart-esque racing game where the primary vehicles are planes. The 2003 build of Diddy Kong Pilot was originally leaked as a ROM file by the defunct Rareware Central webmaster Torrentstorm on November 5, 2011. This prototype has has some major flaws, and should not be considered a complete game. The game involves Donkey Kong characters racing in Planes on Mode 7-rendered courses. It was initially planned for early 2002, but Nintendo sold their share of Rare Ltd. to Microsoft and opted out of their publishing contract. Around the same time, in 2002-2003, before the decision was made to design it into a Banjo-Kazooie game, Diddy Kong Pilot was being redeveloped into an entirely different game. In 2005, the game was finalized as a Banjo-Kazooie game, Banjo-Pilot due to Microsoft's acquisition of Rare in 2002. the original version, before finally being redesigned into Banjo-Pilot in 2005. Diddy Kong Pilot has a few modes, including the Grand Prix-type mode "Cups", a Time Trial mode which has no default scores, or even the Cranky Challenge mode, in which the player's goal is to obtain six coins placed around the course while beating Cranky in a race. The multiplayer option is crossed out and cannot be accessed. Diddy Kong Pilot features three different teams: Team Kong (consisting of Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Donkey Kong, and Funky), Team Krem (consisting of Kritter, Klap Trap, Klump, and K. Rool), and Team Cranky, whose only member is Cranky Kong; he even appears in all four character slots. The player can unlock the Kremlings by finishing every cup, and Cranky if the player beats all the Cranky Challenges. https://www.mariowiki.com/Diddy_Kong_Pilot_(2003) https://www.mariowiki.com/Diddy_Kong_Pilot_(2001)
