Banjo Pilot ROM

Banjo-Pilot (2005)

Experience the thrill of high-flying kart racing in Banjo-Pilot, a vibrant and dynamic game exclusive to the Game Boy Advance. As the fourth installment in Rare's beloved Banjo-Kazooie series, this title breaks the mold by having characters pilot colorful airplanes instead of traditional go-karts, adding a fresh dimension of vertical movement and aerial agility.

Inspired by the classic Mario Kart series, players choose from nine charismatic characters, including Banjo, Kazooie, and others from the Banjo-Kazooie universe, to race through exciting tracks filled with twists, turns, and power-ups. The gameplay is viewed from behind the character, requiring skillful maneuvering to outpace opponents across three-lap races filled with offensive and defensive items, collectible musical notes, and strategic elements that confer advantages.

Discover a variety of game modes, from solo time attacks and item hunts to multiplayer battles supporting up to four players. Engage in classic Grand Prix races, head-to-head duels, or exhilarating dogfights in aerial combat. As you race, earn Cheato pages—special collectible pages that serve as currency—by finishing high and gathering musical notes. Trade these pages with Cheato, the wise book, to unlock new characters, game modes, and surprises, enhancing replayability and adventure.

Originally announced at E3 2001 under the title Diddy Kong Pilot, Banjo-Pilot blends platformer charm with adrenaline-pumping racing action, delivering a fun, engaging experience for fans of racing and adventure alike. Get ready to soar, race, and collect your way to victory in this lively and unique take on kart racing!
