Canceled Game Boy Advance games

A Game Boy Advance game titled Donkey Kong: Coconut Crackers was being developed by Rare, Ltd. that was ultimately canceled when Rare split ties with Nintendo. The game's general game mechanics were kept, however, and can be seen in the puzzle game It's Mr Pants. Also, a game titled Diddy Kong Pilot was another planned Rare release, however the game was changed into Banjo-Pilot.

Canceled NES game

Around 1988 a game with the title Return of Donkey Kong in the Nintendo Fun Club News was mentioned to be in development. The article mentions it would be the first time players would be able to be in direct control of Donkey Kong. It is uncertain of why the game never came out.
