He complains about having cold, numb feet which [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] can remedy by [[Beak Buster|Beak Busting]] his flippers, shocking him into pulling them inside his shell. He thanks them afterwards and opens his mouth to cough up a [[Jiggy]], also allowing access inside his shell which you can travel into to find [[Tiptup]] and his [[The Tiptup Choir|choir]]. |

| |
| In his first appearance, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Tanktup is a large turtle who appears in [[Bubblegloop Swamp]], where he houses [[Tiptup]] and [[Tiptup Choir|his choir]] inside his shell. Tanktup complains about how his feet are numb and cold. [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] can help him by using the [[Beak Buster]] move in them, causing the feet to retract back inside Tanktup's shell. He then thanks the two and rewards them with a [[Jiggy]] that comes out of his mouth. Once it is collected, the pair can also enter his mouth to find Tiptup and his choir practicing.

| Four [[Musical Note]]s can be found on Tanktup, atop each foot. A pair of [[Wading Boots]], which can be used to rescue an orange [[Jinjo]] nearby, can also be worn above his shell.
| | A wooden model of Tanktup can be seen in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'' in [[Banjoland]], but it is mentioned that Tanktup disappeared after the events of Banjo-Kazooie and his current location is unknown.
