'''Drumstick''' is an overalls-wearing rooster and an unlockable character in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and the remake ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. Prior to the game's events, Drumstick was transformed into a frog by [[Wizpig]]. His theme instrument from the character selection screen is a fiddle or a violin.

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.


To unlock Drumstick, the player is required to have all pieces of the T.T amulet, Wizpig amulet, and complete all Trophy Races. This makes a frog with a rooster comb appear in the hub center of [[Timber's Island]], and the frog makes chicken sound effects when it hops. The player must drive over that frog to unlock Drumstick.
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. 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.

Like [[Banjo]] and [[Krunch]], Drumstick is a heavyweight racer, resulting in high top speed and poor acceleration and handling. Drumstick's top speed without bananas is 61.5 mph. [[T.T.]], the other unlockable character, is the only racer faster than him, though he is faster than TT on a plane. In the remake, Drumstick's vehicles are slower, but his acceleration was significantly improved to being among highest. He also has slightly higher handling.


The method to unlock Drumstick is different in ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'': in the [[Timber's Island]] hub, the player must use the stylus to flick a frog on a cliff next to the Wizpig head. It then hops back down with a rooster's comb. Like the original version, the player must drive over the frog to unlock Drumstick.
In ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'', a different method is used to unlock Drumstick. 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.

The frog that is required to get smashed to Drumstick.
The frog with a rooster's comb must be driven over to unlock Drumstick.

Drumstick is an overalls-wearing rooster and an unlockable character in Diddy Kong Racing and Diddy Kong Racing DS. Prior to the game's events, Drumstick was transformed into a frog by Wizpig. His theme instrument from the character selection screen is a fiddle or a violin.

To unlock Drumstick, the player's character must have the complete T.T. Amulet, Wizpig Amulet, and have completed all Trophy Races. 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.

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 bananas is 61.5 mph. 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.

In Diddy Kong Racing DS, a different method is used to unlock Drumstick. 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.
