In ''Diddy Kong Racing'', Drumstick is | In Drumstick's debut in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', the instruction manual mentions how Drumstick is the most experienced racer and could have been the cast's best chance at defeating Wizpig. Though what happens Instead is, during Wizpig's attack on Timber's Island, he brainwashed certain characters to be villains, and transformed Drumstick into a frog, unbeknownst to the game's cast. | ||
To unlock Drumstick, the player's character must have the complete [[T.T. Amulet]], [[Wizpig Amulet]], and have completed all [[Trophy Race]]s. In doing so, a [[frog]] with a rooster comb appears in the center area of [[Timber's Island]]. The frog makes chicken noises as it hops. The player's character can unlock Drumstick by driving over the frog. His theme instrument from the character selection screen is a fiddle or a violin. Like [[Banjo]] and [[Krunch]], Drumstick is a heavyweight racer, which means that he has high top speed but poor acceleration and handling. Drumstick's top speed without [[banana]]s is 61.5 mph. | |||

A different method is used to unlock Drumstick in | ====''Diddy Kong Racing DS''==== | ||
Drumstick reprises the same role in the remake of the game, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. A different method is used to unlock Drumstick in this game: in the center hub of Timber's Island, the player must use the stylus to flick a frog from the bottom screen onto a cliff next to the Wizpig head. This causes Drumstick to hop back down with a rooster's comb. Just like the original version, the player's character must drive over the frog to unlock Drumstick. In the remake, Drumstick is slightly slower, but his acceleration was significantly improved to being one of the highest. Drumstick also got slightly higher handling. | |||
