Tiptup
Tiptup is a borderline Marioverse character who first appeared in Diddy Kong Racing. He is one of Banjo's buddies and has snagged a cameo in several of Banjo's games, such as Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo Pilot. He is a clumsy turtle who often gets stuck on his back - hence the name; 'Tiptup', a play on the phrase 'tipped-up'.
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.
Tiptups were in Banjo-Kazooie as the "Tiptup Choir." The leader would tell the little ones what to sing, and you had to ground pound them the correct way.
Tiptup is in the Nintendo DS game, Diddy Kong Racing DS.
