'''Bluey the Walrus''' is a large, blue walrus who lives on [[Timber's Island]] in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|its Nintendo DS remake]]. He also wears a tuxedo piece on his neck, although not in the remake. Bluey, like the other guardians of Timber's Island, is not inherently a villain, but was hypnotized by [[Wizpig]] prior to the game's events and given a piece of the [[Wizpig amulet]] to guard.
'''Bluey the Walrus''' is a large blue walrus and one of the fastest racers on [[Timber's Island]].


During the events of ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', Bluey ended up being hypnotized by an evil pig named [[Wizpig]] who turned Bluey into one of his slaves. Bluey was also intrusted into guarding one of the pieces of Wizpig's amulet.
During the game's events, the player can challenge Bluey in [[Bluey's Course|his own course]] of [[Snowflake Mountain]] after winning every race in said world. If the player wins, Bluey gives them a new challenge of partaking in Snowflake Mountain's [[Silver Coin]] challenges, or [[Diddy Kong Racing DS#Balloon Touch Challenge|Balloon Touch Challenge]] in the remake. After the player completes them, Bluey challenges them to another race, where Bluey is faster than before. After Bluey is beaten for the second time, he is freed from [[Wizpig]]'s control and gives players a piece of the Wizpig amulet. Much later, Bluey appears in the ending victory celebration next to [[T.T.]] in front of the cave leading to Snowflake Mountain.


Bluey would only allow racers to race him if they managed to beat all the challenges in his area, [[Snowflake Mountain]]. If someone manages to beat all of Bluey's trials, that racer will be given the "privilege" of racing Bluey. The race against Bluey is on a downhill mountain. If Bluey is beaten in a race, he will temporarily be freed of Wizpig's brainwashing.  In this brief moment of freedom, Bluey will allow the victor of his race to partake in Snowflake Mountain's [[Silver Coin]] challenges.

If all of Snowflake Mountains Silver Coin challenges are beaten, then the player will gain the chance to re-race Bluey. This time Bluey is twice as fast, making his race that much harder. After Bluey is beaten for the second time, he will be relinquished from [[Wizpig]]'s control. As thanks for freeing him, Bluey will give his opponent a piece of the [[Wizpig Amulet]] that he was guarding.

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

Bluey also appears in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. He sounds more like an elderly leader in this game. Also, in the game, the difficulty of both forms of the boss has risen incredibly, unlike the other bosses (with the exception of [[Bubbler]], who is harder to beat in the DS version than in the [[Nintendo 64|N64]] version), whose difficulty has majorly dropped.

Bluey the Walrus is a large, blue walrus who lives on Timber's Island in Diddy Kong Racing and its Nintendo DS remake. He also wears a tuxedo piece on his neck, although not in the remake. Bluey, like the other guardians of Timber's Island, is not inherently a villain, but was hypnotized by Wizpig prior to the game's events and given a piece of the Wizpig amulet to guard.

During the game's events, the player can challenge Bluey in his own course of Snowflake Mountain after winning every race in said world. If the player wins, Bluey gives them a new challenge of partaking in Snowflake Mountain's Silver Coin challenges, or Balloon Touch Challenge in the remake. After the player completes them, Bluey challenges them to another race, where Bluey is faster than before. After Bluey is beaten for the second time, he is freed from Wizpig's control and gives players a piece of the Wizpig amulet. Much later, Bluey appears in the ending victory celebration next to T.T. in front of the cave leading to Snowflake Mountain.
