Banjo-Karting, or Banjo-Kazoomie, was an unreleased Banjo-Kazooie racing game developed on the Xbox 360. It was started by Rare Ltd. just before the release of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.[1] The concept is somewhat similar to Banjo-Pilot, except that the characters would race in constructed vehicles made up of parts (like in Nuts & Bolts). The game was cancelled when Rare began to only develop Kinect software.

One of the cars originally featured in the prototype would later be incorporated into Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie.
