Pipsy
Pipsy is a lightweight, yellow mouse, debuting in Diddy Kong Racing, and reappearing for its remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS. She wears a red hairbow with white polka-dots on it, a blue and white sailor suit and a pair of red gloves. In the original game, she is the only female character, until the Nintendo DS remake introduces Tiny Kong and Dixie Kong.
