BiographyEdit

The Tiptup Choir is a singing group composed by six turtles, each having a different-colored shell, who are directed by Tiptup. They appear inside of Tanktup, practicing.

When Banjo and Kazooie first arrive, Tiptup will ask them to be quiet as the Tiptup Choir was about to perform his latest work. Once it is over, Kazooie will note the song was a "bit short," causing Tiptup to ask the duo to copy what they just heard, by using the Beak Bust move in the turtles' shells in the right order, and continue to do so two more times. When every piece is successfully copied, Tiptup will award Banjo and Kazooie with a Jiggy. Since hitting the wrong turtle costs one Honeycomb from the duo's health, it is better to simply ask for Tiptup to repeat the sequence when in doubt.

After the challenge is completed, Tiptup and his choir will disappear if Tanktup is left and re-entered.

The Tiptup Choir's mini-game is also one of the many challenges that can appear in the Stopwatch panels of Grunty's Furnace Fun.
