Sequels

Rare planned to make a sequel for Diddy Kong Racing entitled Diddy Kong Pilot, but the game was canceled and replaced by Banjo Pilot.

Rare and Nintendo also planned to make a game called Donkey Kong Racing for the Nintendo Gamecube, but this game was apparently cancelled as well.

Finally, a remake for Nintendo DS was released, Diddy Kong Racing DS.
