  1. One of those games that isn't big on originality but it excels in what it set out to do: bring us a racing game that's truly addictive in every sense.
  2. If there was more variety in the boss battles, a solid transparency effect on the characters, and a single pak link mode, then "Mario Kart" could have faced a run for its money.
  3. Despite the game's utter lack of originality, Banjo Pilot can often be good old-fashioned simplistic fun in the vein of some of the great kart racing classics like "Super Mario Kart" for the SNES.

    Great game! honestly if you're a banjo kazooie fan who loved the N64 titles you wont be disappointed. great graphics for gba. you'll recognize the levels from previous games as well as the music. playing this brings back the good ol' memories of the orginal games. not only that but it is very much like diddy kong racing so if you enjoyed that you'll love this!

    Gameplay is average and gets boring quickly.
