'''Taj''' is a blue elephant and a genie who lives on [[Timber's Island]]. Taj appears mainly in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|its Nintendo DS remake]], though he has also appeared in ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' publications exclusively published in [[Japan]]. Taj could have possibly been inspired from the real-world {{wp|Indian elephant}}, considering his basis from Indian culture. His name may come from ''taj'' (تاج, from the Arabic word for "crown"), a brimless hat worn by people from Muslim countries, but it could also be a reference to the {{wp|Taj Mahal}}, a mausoleum in India.
