How old are the Diddy Kong Racing characters?

I understand that in most franchises, there's no definitive, factual age for the main characters, but I'm still curious to know how old they are based purely on their looks. My guesses are:

Banjo, Krunch, Drumstick - 13
Bumper - 12
Conker - 11
Timber - 9
Diddy - 8
Tiptup - 6
Pipsy - 5
Taj the Genie - 100 or more years
TT - 15
Wizpig - Same as Taj? IDK...

NOTES: Although Conker is really 21 in Conker's Bad Fur Day, that age was not confirmed until that game came out. I also know that in the DKR manual, it's stated that "no one has seen The Genie for 50 years", so that could make him 100 years old at minimum. And I do know that Kiddy Kong (from DKC3) is 3 years old, and somehow looks the same height as Pipsy, but I still think Pipsy's a little older than that.

P.S. I posted this topic here because I thought Diddy Kong Racing was a non-Mario game.
 
If you're going by the DS version, Tiptup does sound 6. But he sounds like a clumsy young man in the original version. Also, isn't Tiptup a father with 20 children?
 
From my very vague memory of the instruction manual:

Diddy / Timber same age (same income, same super contribution): 10
Bumper a year older: 11
Conker a year younger: 9
Nfi about the others.
 
Here's my vision:

Pipsy the Mouse is the youngest racer at 13 years old

Tiny Kong is also 13, just three months older than Pipsy

Bumper the Badger, Conker the Squirrel and Tiptup the Turtle are all 14, Tiptup is a week younger than Conker while Bumper is a month older than both the Squirrel and Turtle

Dixie Kong, Timber the Tiger, Drumstick the Rooster and T.T. the Stopwatch are 15 years old, Drumstick and Timber are a week apart, while T.T. is three weeks younger and Dixie is a month younger

Diddy Kong, Krunch the Kremling and Banjo the Honey Bear are all 16 years old. Krunch is the eldest of the playable racers, as he is a week older than Banjo and a month older than Diddy Kong
