3 tips: 2 Easter Eggs and Glitches - 1 Personal tipEaster Eggs and Glitches:
Why does the little plane in this glitch seem to be stuck in the air?
In this glitch, the little airplane seems to be stuck in the air. It can still turn, but unfortunately, it can no longer move forward or backward. So, the airplane ends up looking more like a helicopter.
Personal tip:
How can I use my flying experience in Diddy Kong Racing for Banjo-Pilot?
In Diddy Kong Racing for the N64, you can also take to the skies in airplanes (and by the way, Banjo is a character in that game too). Since this game shares some similarities with the flying mechanics in Diddy Kong Racing, it might be useful to give that game a go and practice a bit. My experience with Diddy Kong Racing definitely came in handy when playing Banjo-Pilot.
Easter Eggs and Glitches:
Why is Kazooie a playable character in Banjo-Pilot for GBA?
Even though Kazooie's name is not in the title and she's not on the cover, it's indeed her wings in the title of Banjo-Pilot. Kazooie is also a playable character in the game. She even has her own plane despite being a bird herself!
