Template:Character-infobox Pipsy is a small, yellow mouse that appears as a playable character in Diddy Kong Racing and Diddy Kong Racing DS. Pipsy is also one of the characters helping Diddy Kong and his buddies save Timber's Island from Wizpig. She drives a pink vehicle and is tied with Tiptup (and Drumstick on the acceleration part in the DS remake) for best acceleration and handling. Her instrument theme in Diddy Kong Racing is a steelpan/steel drum.
Pipsy may also have been set to make a reappearance in the canceled game Donkey Kong Racing; as Taj the Genie, a character from Diddy Kong Racing was going to appear in it. Her top speed without bananas is 53.5 mph.
