''Diddy Kong Racing'' was going to have a full-fledged series based on it; two sequels were planned but eventually canceled. The first, ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot]]'' for Game Boy Advance, had flying as the only means of transport; however, Nintendo found the game substandard because its levels were too flat (the GBA is unable to generate "true" 3D graphics, only flat effects similar to the SNES's {{wp|Mode 7}} technology). After Rare was sold to Microsoft, which caused the company to lose the rights to the Donkey Kong character, ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' was converted into the game ''{{wp|Banjo-Pilot}}'', which was released in 2005. Another sequel, called ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'', was planned for the GameCube but canceled after Rare decided to concentrate its efforts on making games for the {{wp|Xbox}}. Another potential sequel, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing Adventure]]'', was pitched to Nintendo by {{wp|Climax Group}}, but was rejected. | ''Diddy Kong Racing'' was going to have a full-fledged series based on it; two sequels were planned but eventually canceled.
