==Conception and creation== | |||
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.<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> | |||
