Before Rare was acquired by Microsoft, Banjo-Pilot was being developed as "Diddy Kong Pilot", a sequel to Diddy Kong Racing. After the acquisition, the game was changed to feature Banjo-Kazooie characters instead as Nintendo still owned the rights to Donkey Kong characters.

The game was originally going to run on the voxel engine, however when problems arose when having more than 2 characters on-screen as well as the inclusion of more characters and weapons, the developers decided to use Mode 7 graphics instead.

Expresso the Ostrich from Donkey Kong Country appears as a cameo in Banjo-Pilot - this seems to be an accidental leftover from the game's cancelled iteration as Diddy Kong Pilot, as Nintendo is not mentioned whatsoever in the copyright info for Banjo-Pilot beyond simply licensing the game for its platforms.
