The island is governed and owned by [[Timber]]'s parents, and it has a magical protector named [[Taj the Genie]].<ref>''Nintendo Power, Vol. 103'', January 1, 1997, page 14. '''''TIMBER''' Timber's family used to rule the island before the Wizpig began hogging all the race tracks. He's derermined to bring the big pig to justice. He's well equipped to do it, too, with very solid handling. His acceleration, top speed and weight are all in the middle range.''"</ref> | |||
