Drumstick (character)

Drumstick is a large overalls wearing rooster and one of the best drivers on Timber's Island.

During the events of Diddy Kong Racing Drumstick attempted to challenge the invading alien wizard, Wizpig. Unfortunately this was the last that was seen or heard of Drumstick.

After a while of adventuring and after gaining four gold trophies and thirty-nine Golden Balloons Diddy Kong and his friends came upon a frog, who oddly had a red rooster's comb on it's head. Running over this frog the heroes were surprised to discover that the frog was in actuality Drumstick. It seems instead of racing Drumstick, Wizpig had simply transformed him into a frog. After the heroes freed Drumstick from his frog form he joined the heroes in their quest.

Drumstick is the second fastest character in the game, next to T.T. Drumstick is also the fastest plane pilot.

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

He is also in the Nintendo DS game, Diddy Kong Racing DS. In this game, the player does not need to have four gold trophies and thirty-nine gold balloons to unlock him. Instead, the player must find a frog near the cliff with a frog face on top of it and flick one on top of the cliff using the DS's Touch Screen. Once that is done, the frog will come down with a rooster's comb and the player must then run over it to unlock Drumstick.
