“Hey, I'm Tiptup!”
Tiptup, Diddy Kong Racing

Tiptup, also known as TipTup[1] is a recurring minor character in the Banjo-Kazooie series. He is a green turtle with a brown shell, and made his first appearance in Diddy Kong Racing, along with Banjo.

History

Diddy Kong Racing

In Diddy Kong Racing, Tiptup is classified as a light weight character with excellent handling, medium top speed and high acceleration. Although he doesn't seem to like racing due to his nervous and clumsy nature, he helps his friend Timber to get rid of the evil Wizpig. Unlike Banjo, Tiptup returns as a playable racer in Diddy Kong Racing DS.

Banjo-Kazooie

Tiptup later reappears in Banjo-Kazooie as a side character in Bubblegloop Swamp. After going inside of Tanktup's shell, Banjo and Kazooie are greeted to Tiptup and his own choir, which will give a Jiggy to them if they can complete their music memory minigame. After leaving Tanktup's shell, Tiptup and his choir are not seen in the shell anymore.

Banjo-Tooie

Tiptup and his newborn baby son, Tiptup Jr., in Banjo-Tooie.

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.

Banjo-Pilot

Tiptup makes a very brief cameo in Banjo-Pilot, only appearing on Clanker's River.

Banjo-X

Tiptup was supposed to reappear in Banjo-X, the cancelled remake of Banjo-Kazooie. It is unknown whether he would have the same or a different role.
