 '''''Diddy Kong Pilot''''' is the name of a canceled [[Game Boy Advance]] racing title starring [[Diddy Kong]] and other ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' characters racing against each other in [[Plane]]s. This iteration was entirely redone from [[Diddy Kong Pilot (2001)|the original version]], before finally being redesigned into ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Pilot|Banjo-Pilot]]'' in 2005.

 The player needs to complete each of the four cups by first completing the four races to win a trophy, which allows them to fight the boss. Team Kong and Team Cranky have the same cups and tracks, while the tracks in Team Krem's cups are reversed and have different names. In each race, the player must place between first and fourth to qualify for the next race. Three retries are allotted if they fail to qualify, represented by flag icons on the retry screen. More retries can be earned by collecting all the [[KONG Letters]] in a course. At the end of a cup, the player must place third or higher overall. Otherwise, the player is simply returned to the cup select screen.

+There is a slightly different ending sequence where different racers form the number of the player's final placement with smoke trails: first place involves Diddy, Funky, and Kritter; second place involves Kritter and Klump; and third place involves Kritter, Funky, and Donkey Kong.

 ==Trivia==
 *A spelling error appears when the player loses at a boss fight: the text reads "YOU LOOSE" instead of "YOU LOSE".
-*All playable characters have voiced dialogue. Klump notably sounds like his [[General Klump|cartoon counterpart]], though the other characters sound quite different from theirs.
+*All playable characters have voiced dialogue. Klump notably sounds like his [[General Klump|cartoon counterpart]]; similarly, Funky has a Jamaican accent in the game.
 *The generic Kritter in the game bears far more resemblance to [[Krunch]] than a typical Kritter. He also speaks in a Southern accent.
 *In the Cups mode, the point spread matches those of the first three ''Mario Kart'' games; ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' was the most recent ''Mario Kart'' game as of the prototype build. In ''Banjo-Pilot'', the point spread was changed to match that of ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', which was released after the ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' prototype, and was the most recent ''Mario Kart'' game as of the final release.
+*Unlike ''Banjo-Pilot'', it is not possible to have characters race or fight themselves with the exception of Cranky being able to race himself if he is chosen for the Cranky Challenges.
