Oh, let's see... Since Diddy Kong Pilot is scheduled to come out by year's end, maybe the release is close enough to merit a response to this... who's the hillbilly Kong from the character select screen?

-One of the builds, said to be presented at a Space World 2000, consisted of a cast featuring both ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' characters, which would have been a first for a ''Donkey Kong'' spinoff. This version allowed players to select between six ''Donkey Kong'' characters ([[Diddy Kong]], [[Cranky Kong]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[King K. Rool]], [[Funky Kong]], and [[Dixie Kong]]) and six ''Mario'' characters ([[Princess Peach]], [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]] sitting atop a [[Lakitu's Cloud]], [[Wario]] piloting a red biplane similar to the [[Bulldog]], [[Bowser]], and [[Toad]]).
