Shortly shifting development to the [[Nintendo 64]], the developers felt the main character, [[Edson]], was "losing his edge." One of their considerations for a main character was a rabbit, but they eventually decided on Banjo. Early sketches showed Banjo with a sword and another in a sleeveless shirt. | ||

Banjo appears as the titular character of the racing spin-off title, ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]''. He has arguably the most average stats in the game, aside from possibly [[Mumbo Jumbo]]. Banjo is the champion of Beehive Cup, where the player competes against him at the end, in the dogfight match "Banjo Brawl" | Banjo appears as the titular character of the racing spin-off title, ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]''. He has arguably the most average stats in the game, aside from possibly [[Mumbo Jumbo]]. Banjo is the champion of Beehive Cup, where the player competes against him at the end, in the dogfight match "Banjo Brawl." Like the other characters, when Banjo is flying in front in a dogfight match, he drops behind a unique object that functions similarly to [[Ice Egg]]s. In his case, he leaves behind washing machines, which are each hanging from parachutes. Banjo's Top Speed is 3/5, his Acceleration is 3/5, and his Handling is 2/5. | ||
