A '''Pointy Tucks''' (also called '''Pointy Tuck''') is a variant of [[Tucks]] appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They are penguin members of the [[Snowmads]] that wear a golden stereotypical Viking helmet. In addition, they wear a leather collar with the Snowmad symbol. Compared to regular Tucks, Pointy Tucks appear to have a less crooked posture and are shorter. | A '''Pointy Tucks''' (also called '''Pointy Tuck''') is a variant of [[Tucks]] appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]].

In the game's intro, a Pointy Tucks spots [[Donkey Kong Island]] through a telescope. After inspecting it more closely and finding Donkey Kong's hut, the Tucks immediately reports its findings to [[Lord Fredrik]]. | In the game's intro, a Pointy Tucks spots [[Donkey Kong Island]] through a telescope.

Pointy Tucks are common enemies throughout the [[Kong]]s' adventure. They simply walk from side to side, as with a handful of other enemies. Pointy Tucks cannot be jumped on, as their helmets protect them from being jumped on and cause the Kongs to take damage. The Kongs can defeat a Pointy Tucks by attacking it with a [[Roll Attack|roll]], [[Rambi]], [[Cranky Kong]]'s [[Cane Bounce]], or an object such as a [[barrel]]. The enemy can be stunned briefly by shooting it with a [[popgun]] or by performing a [[Hand Slap|Ground Pound]] next to it | Pointy Tucks are common enemies throughout the [[Kong]]s' adventure.

|''These penguin-like foes from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze make up just part of the Snowmad army. The big horns on their helmets will make you think twice about jumping on them, and if they spot you, they'll charge at you with their spears. Slapping the ground stuns them, though. Take that chance to roll them into oblivion!'' | |||
|''When the Snowmad army invades DK Island in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, these penguin-like foes make up just part of its troops. The big horns on their helmets will make you think twice about jumping on them, but in the original game, you can defeat them by rolling or throwing barrels.'' | |||
