'''Tiptup''' is a turtle first found in [[Bubblegloop Swamp]] in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. He directs his own [[Tiptup Choir|choir]] of singing turtles inside [[Tanktup|Tanktup's Shell]] and rewards [[Banjo]] with a [[Jiggy]] if he can complete Tiptup's challenge. Although Tanktup's shell can be re-entered at any time, Tiptup and his choir disappear when Banjo leaves after completing the challenge.

'''Tiptup''', also known as '''TipTup'''<ref>''Diddy Kong Racing'' manual, page 25.</ref> is a recurring minor character in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]]. He is a green turtle with a brown shell, and made his first appearance in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', along with [[Banjo]].


Tiptup makes another appearance in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', although his voice has become surprisingly higher. He can be found in [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] where he is on display as a tourist attraction in Turtle View Cave. His choir is nowhere to be seen, but he is accompanied by a small pink egg which contains his unborn son - or so he hopes, as he apparently already has nineteen daughters. Unfortunately, the egg is months late in hatching, and Tiptup cannot do anything himself to help it along, so it's up to [[Kazooie]]. Kazooie must use the [[Split-up Pads]] in the town center and [[hatch]] the egg. The baby turtle is able to free himself from the egg shell once it has cracked open, only to roll over onto his back, requiring Kazooie to right him up by attacking in some form. Once all is said and done, Tiptup and his son, later dubbed [[Tiptup Jr.]], depart for the ocean, but not before leaving a Jiggy behind for Kazooie.

Although Tiptup is considered a character of the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]], he made his first appearance alongside Banjo as a racer in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', which was released a few months before ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. Tiptup also reappears in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', even if Banjo doesn't. The reason he reappears in the remake may be because he is a minor character in the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' series.

History

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 completing the minigame, Tiptup offers the duo a Jiggy. After leaving Tanktup's shell, Tiptup and his choir aren't seen in the shell anymore.
