:Good catch. I've just asked Time Turner to check the game's Prima guide, even though it shouldn't take precedence over the game itself... -- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}} | :Good catch. I've just asked Time Turner to check the game's Prima guide, even though it shouldn't take precedence over the game itself... But if the Prima calls them "Tucks" at singular and "Tuckses" at plural, then rest assured the name in Smash Bros. is just a mistake. -- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}} | ||

The reason I moved this page from "Tuck" to "Tucks" (as well as other pages relating to the species) lies in how individual characters in the game are named in orthographical relation to each other. Characters like Walbrick (shown below, on the right), Walnut, Waldough, Fluff etc. are referred to with their names in singular form. Naming these characters like that implies the "s" at the end of "Tucks" (also shown below, left), "Speedy Tucks", "Trench Tucks" etc. (all of which are names of several other characters in the game) is just a stylish way of spelling, rather than a plural component.
Actual Plural?
