Diddy Kong Pilot, the game that never happened.

Our YouTube friend from Rare has shared with us yet another video; one that shares insight on Diddy Kong Pilot, a game that was later altered to become Banjo-Pilot. This video is from the Pre-Alpha phase where apparently the main goal was to check if all the mechanics were working they way they were supposed to.

Not only gives this a look on not only how Banjo-Pilot came to be, but also offers an interesting look on how the development of a game within Rare is being done.

A video from later on in the development phase will be uploaded there soon.

Also, one more thing: Flying as Cranky Kong; F-YEAH!

Wow, I didn't know transparentjinjo has been a Rare member. Nice video, though, thanks to have posted it.

I can already see this would've been the better game. That is, if they kept the play style used in that video.

We'll have to wait how the 2003 build turns out before we can see if they kept that play style

Yeah, it was probably meant as a handheld answer to the N64's Diddy Kong Racing. Why they solely focussed on the flying element I do not know. Mario Kart Super Circuit showed us that driving on GBA games is fully possible as well.

Agreed, but to be fair they had to redraw all the sprites to match BK and animate some of them, recompose the music and replace all the DK sound files with BK sound files within a short amount of time.

BP could've been better, but for what it is, I like it.

Now what would have REALLY been awesome is if they mixed Banjo-Pilot and DKP into one game. Though I doubt the GBA could handle all that.

I never said it was in development again. This is a video from way back when in 2001 when it was in development before being canned.

Looks like it would play the same as BP, though I haven't played BP, only seen gameplay.
