In ''Diddy Kong Racing'' and | In ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', Wizpig eventually reached [[Timber's Island]], a neighbor of [[Donkey Kong Island]], where he would start another reign of chaos. First, he usurped [[Taj the Genie]]. Next, he turned [[Drumstick (character)|Drumstick]] into a [[frog]] when he tried to challenge Wizpig. He also managed to hypnotize [[Tricky the Triceratops]], [[Bluey the Walrus]], [[Bubbler the Octopus]], and [[Smokey the Dragon]] into becoming his servants, giving each of them a [[Wizpig amulet]] piece to guard. | ||
[[Timber]], the son of the [[Timber's Parents|island's owners]], and his friend [[Diddy Kong]] set out on a quest to retrieve all the pieces of the Wizpig amulet, allowing them to challenge Wizpig in a race. After he loses, he teleports away. With Wizpig seemingly defeated, Diddy Kong and friends celebrate, but their party is cut short by Wizpig suddenly reappearing. Transporting himself and one opponent to Future Fun Land, Wizpig demands a rematch. | [[Timber]], the son of the [[Timber's Parents|island's owners]], and his friend [[Diddy Kong]] set out on a quest to retrieve all the pieces of the Wizpig amulet, allowing them to challenge Wizpig in a race.

Wizpig appears as the main villain of the ''Diddy Kong Racing'' story segment of ''[[Mario no Bōken Land]]'', titled "Go Go Diddy!". He attacks Taj during a race, ripping up the carpet he was riding, which strips Taj of his magical powers, beforing escaping. [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]] and [[Diddy Kong]] ride on airplanes to follow Wizpig, but he launches a bomb which hits Mario and Peach. Diddy Kong avoids the attack, and Wizpig follows it up with a missile, which he also avoids. Diddy manages to bury Wizpig under a pile of rocks, trapping him underneath. While Diddy Kong and his friends celebrate Wizpig's defeat, the last panel shows Taj offering to help Wizpig out of the rocks if he promises to not do any more bad actions. | Wizpig appears as the main villain of the ''Diddy Kong Racing'' story segment of ''[[Mario no Bōken Land]]'', titled "Go Go Diddy!".
