'''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; others will just disappear if ten are already surrounding him.
 
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.


Although the Tuff Puffs were once part of Huff N. Puff, they still refer to him as their master.
