Tiptup the Turtle is a green, somewhat clumsy turtle and one of the playable characters in Diddy Kong Racing and its remake. During the events of Diddy Kong Racing, Tiptup is one of the many allies called upon by Diddy Kong and Timber to aid in their quest to defeat an invading alien named Wizpig. He has a son in Banjo-Tooie named Tiptup Jr.

It seems Tiptup may live in the same vicinity as Banjo as he makes various cameos in his game series. Due to the fact that Banjo was removed from the DS port of Diddy Kong Racing but Tiptup wasn't, and the fact that a new Banjo-Kazooie game was announced for the Xbox 360, Tiptup may have been removed from the Banjo-Kazooie series continuity. He is next to Diddy on the cover. His first cameo appearance was in Banjo-Kazooie as the name of the turtle choir, "The Tiptup Choir" in Bubble Gloop Swamp.
