|Years later, after Microsoft bought out Rare, two planned ''Diddy Kong Racing'' games had to be cancelled. Nintendo and Rare teamed up again to create ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', a remake of the original with many notable differences, including [[Tiny Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] replacing Banjo and Conker, and [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi]] matches.

|'''''[[Diddy Kong Pilot]]''''' was the planned sequel to ''Diddy Kong Racing'', but instead focusing only on flying and nothing else. Due to Rare being acquired by Microsoft, Rare was already far at work into the game and instead of scrapping it altogether, the game was removed of all Donkey Kong references and was turned into ''[[wikipedia:Banjo-Pilot|Banjo-Pilot]]''. 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. This version allowed [[player]]s to take control of [[Diddy Kong]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Mario]], [[Cranky Kong]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[King K. Rool]], [[Yoshi]], [[Wario]], [[Bowser]], [[Funky Kong]], [[Dixie Kong]], [[Candy Kong]] and [[Toad]].
