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.


Pointy Tucks have a shielded variant known as [[Trench Tucks]]. [[Papa Painguin]]s are [[Painguin Tucks]]es sporting the same helmets, protecting them in the same way.
A '''Pointy Tucks''' (also called '''Pointy Tuck''') is an uncommon variant of [[Tucks]] appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They are penguin-like members of the [[Snowmad]]s with a viking helmet and a collar with the Snowmad symbol.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''===
Pointy Tucks walk slowly from side to side, and jumping on them causes the player to take damage. The Kongs can also roll into them, throw [[barrel]]s at them or use [[Rambi]] to defeat them. Alternatively, [[Cranky Kong]]'s pogo bounce can defeat them.
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]].


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.
In the game's intro, a Pointy Tucks can be seen looking through a telescope until he spots Donkey Kong's hut then he frantically goes the [[Lord Fredrik]] telling of his findings while others beat on drums and several bring their leader a giant magical horn.


===''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''===
They also have a shielded variant called [[Trench Tucks]] and another variant with spear called [[Papa Painguin]]s.
A Pointy Tucks, referred to as a "Pointy Tuck" in North American English, is depicted as a ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' series trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. The trophy's North American description suggests that Pointy Tucks charge with spears, although this is specifically a characteristic of the Papa Painguins, which wear the same helmet but have a belt instead of a collar and are visibly more stout and hunched.

|desc=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!
