'''Speedy Tuckses''' are uncommon [[Snowmad]] enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. They resemble normal [[Tucks]]es, having red trousers rather than green. Just like their parent species, they lay bent over the ground, burdened by hunched spines.
'''Speedy Tucks''' are uncommon [[Snowmads]] enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They resemble normal [[Tucks]] except they wear red pants rather than green.


As a seemingly mere clone of Tucks, an ordinary Speedy Tucks is naturally seen strolling slowly on its path. However, Speedy Tuckses charge and run towards the player-controlled [[Kong]]s upon spotting them, continuing to run in the desired direction even after the heroes eventually dodge them. Despite their moody personality, Speedy Tuckses are still highly vulnerable foes that can be defeated by any method of attack: [[stomp]]ing, [[Roll Attack|rolling]], throwing projectiles, or ramming with [[Rambi]] into them are all efficient methods to knock them out.
At first a Speedy Tucks acts like a Tucks as it slowly strolls on the path. Upon noticing the [[Kong]]s, the Speedy Tucks then charges and runs after them, even if they change direction. Speedy Tucks can be defeated by any method of attack: [[stomp]]ing, [[Roll Attack|rolling]], throwing projectiles, or knocking into them with [[Rambi]].
 
As stated in the very beginning of the article, Speedy Tuckses are rather uncommonly found by the Kongs, with them being introduced late in the game in [[Shoal Atoll]], a level from [[Sea Breeze Cove]]. Nevertheless, there is a notable Speedy Tucks in [[Reckless Ride]] who navigates an entire destruction machine meant to hinder the primate heroes.


Speedy Tucks first appear late into the game, during the level [[Shoal Atoll]]. In [[Reckless Ride]], a Speedy Tucks operates a [[Pengaccha 1-gō|wooden robot]] in an attempt to hinder the Kongs' progress. At the end of the level, the Speedy Tucks gets blown out of its robot. If the player waits for a bit before hitting the [[Slot Machine Barrel]], a scene in the background shows the Speedy Tucks parachuting down to the ground, only to be eaten by a [[Chompasaurus]].
