Answer: Five

According to the instruction booklet: Timber, Pipsy, Bumper, Tiptup, and Drumstick are the inhabitants of Timber's Island. Diddy Kong got a letter from Timber, so he decided to invite Conker and Banjo along.

Drumstick was mentioned to have disappeared after he challenged Wizpig in a race.

5. How many zippers are in each lap during the first race against Wizpig?

The zippers are essential for winning the first Wizpig race because there are no balloons for the race. Most of the zippers lead the racer over the water to prevent him/her from slowing down.

Before Wizpig crashed the party, seven out of the eight racers appeared in the first ending. Diddy Kong was flying on the plane. Conker, Pipsy, and Krunch were dancing near the "party" sign. Tiptup and Bumper were randomly running around the beach. And Timber was dancing with Taj the Genie.

Answer: Tiptup

When Wizpig crashed the party, Tiptup, Bumper, and Conker (along with Taj) ran in circles. When the spaceship appeared, it attempted the shoot at Conker and Bumper. Fortunately, the ship missed both of them. Tiptup was offscreen while the spaceship was shooting.

8. What did Wizpig nickname the racers?

Answer: Worms

Three of Wizpig's quotes called the racers "worms". One of the quotes was, "Sorry to break the party WORMS! ...but I HAD to say GOODBYE!" Another quote was, "See ya later WORMS!" The last quote was, "Well, lookie here! It's the LITTLE WORM!"
