This type of battle mode is not featured in ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Pilot|Banjo-Pilot]]''.


The goal of the game involves the player getting three hatched dragon eggs into their respective place. They can get eggs from the middle of the level or steal them from an opponent. After putting the egg on the player's base, it still takes time to hatch. If the egg hasn't hatched yet, opponents are free to steal it. Items are also placed throughout the stage so the player can hit their opponents and make them drop their eggs. After all three eggs have hatched in the player's nest, they will win.

Racers can swoop down and grab these eggs at any time, although once the eggs are taken from the nest, they may take a while to reappear. A few Item Balloons can also be found around the lower area of the stage around the perimeter of the area, giving the players some rockets to, as mentioned before, shoot at opponents. In the higher areas of the stage, four small individual nests can be found, each being owned by a certain character. A picture of the character is present above each nest, letting the players know who the nests belong to.
The HUD is displayed from the top screen, and it displays an icon of each player and the number of eggs they have hatched. When a racer puts an egg into their nest, they must wait a couple of seconds for it to hatch. When the egg of a player is busy hatching, an icon of it slowly flashes on the HUD beneath their mugshot. When an egg hatches, its shell cracks slightly, with two eyes peeking out from it, and the egg stops flashing from the HUD.

A planned Hatch Match in Diddy Kong Pilot

Description[edit]

Diddy Kong flying to Conker's nest in Fire Mountain

Fire Mountain is set in an enclosed, circular location which is enclosed by a large rock formation. Fire Mountain has volcanic scenery in the background matching that of Hot Top Volcano. With 4 differently colored nests in the corners, a small pit of yellow lava appears in the center and contains a few eggs, which are pink with light blue spots. Racers can fly here to obtain an egg and then carry it back into their nest. Each player's nest appears on a ledge in the higher portion of the stage, with a large mugshot and a different color showing which player it belongs to (red, yellow, green and blue). Shortly after a player takes an egg from pool, another egg spawns in its place. In the lower part of the stage, there are red Weapon Balloons on a rock platform, around the perimeter area, and a large green dinosaur walking around the stage. The pilots' starting areas' tops are recolored with green grass in the DS remake.

The HUD is displayed from the top screen, and it displays an icon of each player and the number of eggs they have hatched. When a racer puts an egg into their nest, they must wait a couple of seconds for it to hatch. When the egg of a player is busy hatching, an icon of it slowly flashes on the HUD beneath their mugshot. When an egg hatches, its shell cracks slightly, with two eyes peeking out from it, and the egg stops flashing from the HUD.

Players have a few ways to steal an egg from their opponent. They can do so by firing a rocket at their opponent, causing the target to drop the egg they are carrying. Also, while an egg is currently hatching at an opponent's nest, the player can take that egg from them. They cannot steal hatched eggs.
