A video of the game shown at E3 in 2001 is all that is known to exist of the project{{Fact|date=February 2007}}. Some believe that Rare owns the the development code and may revive this for one of their own franchises such as ''[[Sabreman]]'' (as ''[[Sabreman Stampede]]''{{Fact|date=May 2007}}) or ''[[Viva Piñata]]'', similar to what they did with ''Diddy Kong Pilot'', which became ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]''.
The two other ''Donkey Kong'' games shown at E3 2001, ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' and ''Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers'', were also cancelled but later reworked into ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'' and ''Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers'' respectively.


A similar game is in development by Japanese game developer Paon entitled ''[[Donkey Jet]]'' (originally called ''DK Bongo Blast''). However, the two projects have no relation to each other.

Title screen

Donkey Kong Racing is an unreleased Nintendo GameCube game of the Donkey Kong series, intended as a sequel to Diddy Kong Racing. The game was first revealed at E3 2001, as a full-motion video trailer, and It was developed by Rare and was slated for a release in 2002.[1] Due to Microsoft's acquisition of Rare, who lost the right to develop Donkey Kong games, the game was being reworked into Sabreman Stampede, but the game ended up being cancelled entirely.

Most details about the game are unknown. The main mechanic was that the Kongs (and Taj, who was also in the trailer) would ride Animal Friends as "vehicles", with varying colors and sizes.

The two other Donkey Kong games shown at E3 2001, Diddy Kong Pilot and Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers, were also cancelled but later reworked into Banjo-Pilot and Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers respectively.
