"Go for it!"

- T.T.

T.T. is an animate stopwatch first appearing in the game Diddy Kong Racing. He also appeared in its remake and in the Club Nintendo comic "Sag niemals Holerö!". In the latter, he was referred to as TicToc.

Diddy Kong Racing
In Diddy Kong Racing, T.T. is a lobby secretary and tells the player the various totals of what they've earned during their racing adventure. The player can race him in track mode in each course, and if they can beat him in all races, he will become a playable character.

Diddy Kong Racing DS
In Diddy Kong Racing DS, T.T. is imprisoned in locked doors (one in every lobby) and can't be freed unless the player beats him in a self-made track. Once freed, T.T. challenges the player to beat him in all the area tracks from Dino Domain to Future Fun Land in Time Trial mode. Once beaten he becomes a playable character.

"Sag niemals Holerö!"
T.T., though referred to as "TicToc", joined Mario in his fight against an evil alien called Heini in the Club Nintendo comic "Sag niemals Holerö!". Whenever Heini sang his song "Holerö", the people around would turn into food. When Mario was spending his holidays in Switzerland, he was seemingly the only one that could resist the spell. On his way back home via Germany, he met TicToc from Zurich, Switzerland in the train. TicToc explained that he was just getting his batteries changed, when suddenly all people around him were transformed. In Austria, TicToc and Mario met another non-transformed person: Bomberman. Due to a hint of Todojewski, the three of them met Mahgo in Germany, a man who tells the heroes about their secret powers. According to Mahgo, TicToc was able to freeze time for a short amount of time. TicToc soon made use of this power, when they found Heini in Frankfurt's Alte Oper. The alien and many of his friends were just about to start eating people they had previously turned into steaks and other food, when TicToc froze time. Mario and Bomberman managed to rescue the people and threw bombs at the aliens, before TicToc's powers diminished.

Trivia

 * T.T.'s voice was given a slightly higher pitch in Diddy Kong Racing DS.
 * In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts on Xbox 360, also made by Rare, Ltd., Trophy Thomas, a character from the game, is often called T.T.. Both characters are known for their passions of records of time, and Trophy Thomas's blue hair was likely inspired by the blue screw on T.T.'s head.
