Trivia

Rareware experimented with an impressive Mode-7 Voxel Engine for a short duration during the change from Diddy Kong Pilot to Banjo Pilot. The hardware-pressurising graphics engine rendered realistic but slightly jagged 3D environments by analysing the level's height-map and extruding the now-flat Mode-7 terrain upwards, creating the illusion of valleys, etc. It was an incredible feat of game engineering, considering the power of the Gameboy Advance. However, after releasing a batch of screenshots featuring the engine, Rareware decided to revert to the previous flat landscapes, as once they had added the various level elements, the frame rate took a considerable nose-dive.
