Diddy Kong Pilot

Serving as a spiritual successor to Rare‘s previous critical darling Diddy Kong Racing, this portable adventure would have seen Diddy Kong and friends return to the competitive scene with their aviation skills on show exclusively. Diddy Kong Pilot was on the spear of new technology for the time, in predictable Rare fashion, incorporating tilt control and impressive 3D courses. While sights were set high on this flying ace, Diddy Kong Pilot found itself a casualty of the acquisition of Rare by Microsoft – though it would eventually see the light of day after it had been republished as Banjo-Pilot.
