'''Tuff Puffs''' are weaker versions of [[Ruff Puff]]s that are knocked off from the much larger Huff N. Puff. The Tuff Puffs provide backup while Huff N. Puff is battling Mario and his comrades, and attack collectively as one unit by draining two HP from Mario with each use of their [[HP Drain]] move.
The player must repeatedly tap the A button to tear them off, similar to the action command for the [[Jungle Fuzzy]]. In addition, Huff N. Puff can suck them back up, and restore one HP for every small Tuff Puff and two HP for every large Tuff Puff. All of the Tuff Puffs are defeated automatically when Huff N. Puff himself is destroyed.
Despite the fact that the Tuff Puffs were once part of Huff N. Puff, they still refer to him as their master.

==Trivia==
*Although Huff N. Puff's name could simply be derived from the fact that he is a cloud, it is perhaps more likely to be a reference to "Huff and Puff," a line from ''The Three Little Pigs''.
*If Lakilester is Mario's active partner upon confronting Huff N. Puff, the cloud boss will react differently, addressing the Lakitu directly as "Spike" and calling out his betrayal.
*The name Tuff Puff is based on "Tough Puff".

These Tuff Puffs provide backup while battling Mario and his team, attacking Mario as one collective unit. Huff N. Puff can inhale the Tuff Puffs to restore HP. They also assist Huff N. Puff with his earthquake attack, increasing the damage caused depending on how many Tuff Puffs join the attack. After Huff N.
