On April 16, the expedition team is heading towards an unknown destination. However, the Flipper feels they are making no progress, as if they're going around in circles. They are behind schedule by several hours, and the Flipper is concerned they might not make it. The captain is as icy-faced as ever, not showing any worry he may have, nor giving any orders.

One April 22, the Flipper feels as though the bright sun is mocking the team's progress. They are all left dizzy and disoriented by the ten-flipper-roll strategy. The Flipper shouts for help from the captain, its voice echoing across the frigid tundra. The captain simply responds with "That's it!". Despite initial doubt, the Flipper chooses to trust the captain once more.

Captain Tuck makes borscht for the team, made from chunks of meat, cubed veggies, and diced love in every bite. This keeps the team warm and satisfied, and ready for expeditioning<ref>"Our captain makes the best borscht! It's got chunks of meat, cubed veggies, and diced love in every bite! It keeps us warm and satisfied all day long. Let's get expeditioning!" ~ [[Hot Borscht]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. After training drills, Captain Tuck brews a cup of coffee in his special mug, which has a picutre of a seal on it. He never puts sugar in it, as he says the picture is sweet enough for him<ref>"After our drills, the captain brews a cup of coffee in his special mug. He never puts sugar in it, saying that our picture on the mug is all the sweetness he needs. *sniff*" ~ [[Blubber Latte]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>.

The Flippers appear in [[Remix 5 (Wii)|Remix 5]]'s prehistoric setting with an orange color, with their captain offscreen. In the [[Two-Player Menu|Two Player]] version of [[Flipper-Flop 2|Flipper-Flop]], there is one cyan Flipper for Player 1 and an orange one for Player 2 in addition to the other seals. Inputting the codeword {{Nihongo|MATCH}} into [[Police Call]] calls up a match, during which [[Wrestler]] poses and flexes on the opponent, all the while Captain Tuck compliments his actions. The call ends with Tuck saying "That's it!", with Wrestler reacting with a confused grunt. In [[Barbershop Remix]], Captain Tuck appears to work as a barber, with the Flippers sporting mustauches. The group also appears in [[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic]] [[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic#11テビリとバーバーショップ (Tibby and Barbershop)|11テビリとバーバーショップ]] (Tibby and Barbershop), where [[Tibby]] is getting a haircut at the barbershop. He falls asleep as Captain Tuck cuts his hair, but he overdoes it. Embarrassed, the barber moves away, as the seal that was sitting behind them climbs onto Tibby's head to hide the mistake.
