The game was first shown at [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Space World|Spaceworld]] 2001, where its cast consisted of both ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Mario (series)|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]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DRAqj__5eA "Diddy Kong Pilot - Very Early Beta Spaceworld" on YouTube]</ref> 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,<ref name="DK Vine"/> 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.<ref>http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/07/diddy-kong-pilot-banjo-pilot-beta</ref> | The game was first shown at [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Space World|Spaceworld]] 2001, where its cast consisted of both ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' characters - a first for a ''Donkey Kong Country'' spin-off.
