-'''Tiptup''' is a clumsy turtle originating from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', who would later make frequent minor appearances in several games of the ''[[wikipedia:Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series. Despite Banjo and [[Conker]] not returning in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'' because [[Rare Ltd.]] was sold to [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Studios|Microsoft]], Tiptup managed to return in the remake. This is unusual considering Tiptup is a ''Banjo-Kazooie'' series character, and is still owned by Rare/Microsoft.
+'''Tiptup''' (originally spelled '''TipTup''') is a clumsy turtle originating from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', who would later become a frequent, recurring minor character in the ''[[wikipedia:Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series.
+In the {{wp|Microsoft}} buy out of [[Rare Ltd.]], the rights of Tiptup were shifted completely to Microsoft. Despite being considered a ''Banjo-Kazooie'' series character, Tiptup managed to return in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''&ndash;this is unusual, as [[Banjo]] himself was not able to, for copyright complications.

Now, though, he doesn't seem to have much choice!''"
