*According to Rare, ''Banjo-Pilot'' was known as ''Banjo-Kazooie: Pilot'' on THQ's UK website.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20050408040313/http://www.rareware.com/company/news/all_news.html Rare Ltd.'s official website] on Wayback Machine.</ref> | *According to Rare, ''Banjo-Pilot'' was known as ''Banjo-Kazooie: Pilot'' on THQ's UK website.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20050408040313/http://www.rareware.com/company/news/all_news.html Rare Ltd.'s official website] on Wayback Machine.</ref> | ||
*[[Microsoft]], who acquired Rare three years before this game's release, allowed [[THQ]] to publish this title and other [[Game Boy Advance]] games Rare developed on their behalf due to most of said games already being in development before the buyout. Microsoft had no equivalent in the handheld market and did not want the development time and resources they acquired to go to waste. | |||
