| | '''Tuckses''' are common enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They are penguin-like members of the [[Snowmad]]s and are also the most common species in the game. |
| '''Tucks''' are pudgy, hunched penguins that appear as common enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch port]]. They are the [[Snowmads]]' most common foot soldiers, comparable to [[Tiki Goon]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. Tucks typically wear tightened green striped pants with a knotted rope around their waist. Their name comes from a shortening of "tuxedo", a type of formal suit that resembles the color of a penguin’s feathers. | |

|
| The common variety of Tucks walks slowly from side to side. If the [[Kong]]s get in contact with a Tucks, it slaps them, causing them to lose a heart of their health. Tucks are among the weakest enemies in the game and can be defeated with any attack method, such as [[stomp]]ing, throwing [[barrel]]s or explosives, or [[Roll Attack|rolling]]. Tucks sometimes appear in groups, so the Kongs can jump on them in succession to potentially earn a [[Banana Coin]].
| | ==Appearance== |
| | Tuckses wear green, striped trousers tightened around their waists with knitted ropes. They are pudgy and have quite hunched backs, while their flippers are long in relation to their short bodies. Tuckses display moderately thick and long bills, curved abruptly near their tips. In the game, their expression always tells disregard (given their lowered eyelids and straight bills), except when they get defeated; in this case, they feature surprised figures, and also raise their flippers above their heads in failed attempts to protect themselves, before they vanish in clouds of dust. Tuckses' legs are very short and stubby, and their feet are broad and membranous. |

| There is a pantless variety of Tucks<ref>{{cite|title=「ドンキーコングトロピカルフリーズ任天堂公式ガイドブック」 (''Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook'')|page=195 and 196}} This version of the enemy has the same name as normal Tucks.</ref> that bounces on springy objects, such as elastic drapes and jelly blocks. They bounce in one place or back and forth between two spots, damaging the Kongs upon contact. Compared to other enemies, bouncing Tucks are rather uncommon in the game. A single bouncing Tucks can be found inside a windmill in the level [[Windmill Hills]]. More bouncing Tucks can be spotted in [[Jelly Jamboree]]. The different types of jelly blocks that appear in the level do not influence their jump height as they do with the Kongs. However, like the Kongs, bouncing Tucks are able to use blue jelly blocks to move certain mechanisms.
| | Tuckses walk slowly from side to side, with this being their only strategy of attacking. If the [[Kong]]s normally touch a Tucks from any side but the top, they get slapped by the enemy and lose a heart from their health bar, which brings them closer to losing a [[Extra Life Balloon|life]]. However, Tuckses are vulnerable to absolutely any attack techniques, as they are the most basic grunts out of all [[Snowmad]] warriors: a [[stomp]] on their broad hunches, a [[Roll Attack|roll]] move under their feet, or a projectile tossed at them can crush or vanquish them. |

| | |
| | Due to their primitive method of defense, which is identical to that of [[Goomba]]s from the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games, Tuckses can be compared to [[Kritters]], [[Klomp]]s, [[Kobble]]s, and [[Tiki Goon]]s from the previous installments of the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' games. |
