Although Banjo debuted in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' franchise is not a spinoff of the ''Donkey Kong'' franchise but is rather a related franchise. Banjo's debut appearance helped familiarize him to players before ''Banjo-Kazooie'' was released. Both ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Diddy Kong Racing'' were publicly unveiled at [[E3 1997]]. Throughout the Nintendo 64 era, ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Donkey Kong'' were often worked on by the same people within Rare. ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' uses the same game engine as ''Banjo-Kazooie'', and was heavily inspired by the game in general. | Although Banjo debuted in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' franchise is not a spinoff of the ''Donkey Kong'' franchise but is rather a related franchise.
