{{quote|Hey, I'm Tiptup!|[[Tiptup]]|[[Diddy Kong Racing]]}}

Tiptup was originally created to appear as a side character in ''[[Dream: Land of Giants]]'', before development shifted into ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. When naming the racers in ''Diddy Kong Racing'', it was decided to name one of them, a turtle, after the original character from the cancelled project. He then proceeded to be reintegrated into ''Banjo-Kazooie'', due to the team's attachment to the character.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000823214444/http://www.rareware.com/recent/games/banjo/rmill.html Rareware: Banjo-Kazooie Rumour Mill] on Wayback Machine</ref>

===''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 [[mariowiki:Timber|Timber]] to get rid of the evil [[mariowiki:Wizpig|Wizpig]].

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 [[Tiptup Choir|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.

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-Pilot]]'', Tiptup appears in [[Clanker's River]] as an obstacle.

*'''Manual profile:''' "''(High acceleration, light weight, excellent handling, medium top speed) TipTup the turtle is another member of the close group of animal friends, but because of his nervous (and maybe even slightly clumsy) nature, he's never been particularly fond of the racing that the others seem to like so much. Now, though, he doesn't seem to have much choice!''"
