'''''[[Diddy Kong Pilot]]''''' was the planned sequel to ''Diddy Kong Racing'', but instead focusing only on flying and nothing else.

The game was first shown at [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Space World|Spaceworld]] 2001, where its cast consisted of both ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' characters - a first for a ''Donkey Kong Country'' spin-off.
