[[Diddy Kong]] was the main and titular character of the game. The game involves ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' characters racing in [[Plane]]s on {{wp|Mode 7}}-rendered courses. It was initially planned for early 2002, but around the same time, in 2002-2003, before the decision was made to design it into a ''Banjo-Kazooie'' title, ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' was being redeveloped into an entirely [[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|different game]]. In 2005, the game was finalized as a ''{{wp|Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie}}'' title, ''{{wp|Banjo-Pilot}}'' due to {{wp|Microsoft Corporation|Microsoft}}'s acquisition of Rare in 2002. | ||

This version allowed players to select between six ''Donkey Kong'' characters ([[Diddy Kong]], [[Cranky Kong]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[King K.

For | Before starting a mode, the player must select a character. The selection menu is very buggy, and choosing a character causes a different one to be playable, except for [[Cranky Kong]]. For instance, selecting [[Diddy Kong]] causes [[Kritter]] to be playable instead. The sound that each character makes when highlighted does not correspond to the correct character as well. When a character is highlighted, they are not aligned with their sepia shadow; additionally, the sepia backdrop has Candy Kong but highlighting her shows Redneck Kong instead. The following "Select World" menu shows the character that will actually be played as, with the exception of when Dixie is selected. In this case, a glitchy black rectangle taking up the entirety of the character sprites' parameters will be shown, and playing will result in Diddy appearing. As such, the rectangle is likely the remains of Redneck Kong's data. | ||
