Tiptup

Tiptup is a turtle character who first appeared in Diddy Kong Racing.

Tiptup has a high top speed and good acceleration, but very poor control. He is therefore recommended for advanced players.

Tiptup also has a non-playable role in the Banjo-Kazooie series, providing cameo appearances.

Tiptup may also have been set to make a reappearance in the cancelled game Donkey Kong Racing; as Taj the Genie, a character from Diddy Kong Racing was going to appear in it. It is unknown if Tiptup was going to appear in Diddy Kong Racing's cancelled Game Boy Advance sequel, Diddy Kong Pilot.

Tiptup returned as a playable character in Diddy Kong Racing DS. He sounds much younger in this game, and his promotional art depicts him with teeth. Despite popular belief, he is property of Rare and thus Microsoft. He was never property of Nintendo.
