In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Tiptup reappears with a higher-pitched voice. He is found in Turtle View Cave of [[Jolly Roger Lagoon]] with a pink egg. Tiptup tells Kazooie that the egg is yet to hatch after several months. Tiptup anticipates his new child would be a boy because he already has 19 daughters. Kazooie must separate from Banjo and use her [[hatch]] ability on the egg. When the egg hatches, the newborn turtle falls on his back, unable to move, and Tiptup asks Kazooie to roll the turtle over. The turtle is a boy, just as Tiptup had hoped, so he names his son [[Tiptup Jr.]] Both of them leave for the ocean and leave behind a Jiggy as a reward for Kazooie. | In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Tiptup reappears with a higher-pitched voice.
