| == Story ==
| | 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''. |
| According to [[Rare]], there is no story to the game, although it can be assumed that [[Cheato]] lost all of his pages and [[Banjo]] and his friends must retrieve them by completing race courses.

| ===Cancellation of ''Diddy Kong Pilot''===
| |
| ''[http://donkeykong.wikia.com/wiki/Diddy_Kong_Pilot Diddy Kong Pilot]'' was almost finished by June 2002, but a release became unlikley as Rare was beginning their merge with [[Microsoft]] at the time. When they were finally bought out by Microsoft in September, Rare lost the rights to use ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' characters in their games. Because of this, Rare announced that they were reskinning ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' to become ''Banjo-Pilot'' in 2003.

| |
| | |
| ==Cameos==
| |
| Many characters from [[Rare]]'s previous games make minor cameos in ''Banjo-Pilot''. Characters like [[Tiptup the Turtle|Tiptup]], [[Gobi]], and [[Master Jiggywiggy]] can be seen in various tracks. [[Sabreman]], from ''[[Sabre Wulf (video game)|Sabre Wulf]]''. [[Expresso the Ostrich|Expresso]], from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', appears in [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] and [[Jinxy's Dunes]] as a leftover that wasn't removed from the 2003 build of ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|Diddy Kong Pilot]]''. Other non-playable characters include [[Cheato]], [[King Jingaling]], and [[Roysten]]. Before the game's release, many fans speculated that Roysten would appear as an unlockable character, but this has since been proven false.
