They have a bulkier counterpart known as Papa Painguins.

Painguin Tucks can be defeated by a jump or a Roll Attack on their backs. They can also be stunned by a Ground Pound if the Kongs are close enough, and they can also run faster upon seeing the Kongs.

Two Painguin Tucks also appear on the Game Over screen, guarding the ice cube.
