'''''Banjo-Pilot''''' is a racing video game for the [[Game Boy Advance]] and a spinoff of the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series. The game was published by [[THQ]] in early 2005.


'''''Banjo-Pilot''''' (originally Diddy Kong Pilot) is a video game for the Game Boy Advance featuring characters from the Banjo-Kazooie series of video games. Similar to Diddy Kong Racing, players can race around various locales from the Banjo-Kazooie universe. Banjo-Pilot was developed by Rare and was published by THQ in 2005. This was the last Banjo-Kazooie game released for a Nintendo system.
The game was originally titled ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' and was planned as a handheld follow up to ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''. As a result of the 2002 [[Microsoft]] acquisition, it was redone into a ''Banjo-Kazooie'' game, earning its title ''Banjo-Pilot''.
