Timber

When his parents left Timber in charge of the Island, he couldn't have been happier, until the evil Wizpig came and cast a spell on everyone. He races with green vehicles and is middle class speed and acceleration. It is unknown what his parent's reactions were when they heard about the invasion, but it probably wasn't good.

Timber 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 Timber was going to appear in Diddy Kong Racing's canceled Game Boy Advance sequel, Diddy Kong Pilot.

Timber has appeared in the Nintendo DS game Diddy Kong Racing DS. He seems to have an Australian-like accent in this game.

Trivia

 * Due to Microsoft buying Rare, Timber's hat now has the Nintendo logo on it, similar to Diddy Kong. However, artwork in the Diddy Kong Racing DS manual depicts the Nintendo DS logo on his hat.
 * Timber was supposed to appear in his own game called Timber 64, but it got canceled early in production. On a side note, Pipsy and Bumper were supposed to be supporting characters.
 * Timber can be compared with Yoshi, because their main color is green and also have their own island.
