==<span style="font-weight:normal;">Story</span>==
[[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven Fever)|Expedition Journal]], acquired after getting a perfect on[[ Flipper-Flop 2| Flipper-Flop]], gives a lot of information on the adventures of the [[Flippers]] and Captain Tuck.
 
It is revealed that the [[Flippers |Flippers]] put all of their trust in Captain Tuck. They believe in his abilities to lead them. His various quotes from the game encourage them to do their best in the frigid, icy tundra.
 
[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'s rhythm item for [[Flipper-Flop]] is Hot Borscht. The description of it is stated from the [[Flippers]]' point of view. They say that Captain Tuck makes the best borscht, putting in chunks of meat, cubed veggies, and 'diced love.' It helps to keep the [[Flippers]] warm during expeditions.


Also in [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix|Megamix]] is [[Flipper-Flop 2]]'s rhythm item; Blubber Latte. The captain makes the coffee in a mug with a [[Flippers|Flipper]]'s face on it. It makes it clear he cares a lot for his seals, as the description says, "He never puts sugar in it, saying that our picture on the mug is all the sweetness he needs."
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.
==Purpose==
Captain Tuck motivates the seals, and commands them to do their signature flipper-rolls. He keeps count, and tells them when to start flipping at the beginning of the game. His various motivational quotes throughout the [[Flipper-Flop]] games include:


"Good!"
On April 20, the team runs into a major storm, hindering their movement and visibility. The team employ their one-flipper-roll strategy, which the Flipper doubts is going to help, but the captain only responded with "Good joooob! Nice!" to this concern. The Flipper chooses to trust the captain.


"Yes!"
One April 21, the one-flipper-roll strategy is deemed a failure, as the team makes no headway and lost all strength and motivation. The Flipper suggests to the captain to try the ten-flipper-roll strategy. Captain Tuck encourages them with his strongest "Yes! Good job!" The Flipper again chooses to trust the captain.


"Nice!"
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.


"Huh, huh!"
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>.
 
"Well Done!"
 
"Good job!"

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. 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.

==Trivia==
*Captain Tuck and the Flippers have a lot in common with [[Sarge]] and the [[Squadmates]] and [[The Blue Birds]] from previous games. For instance, Captain Tuck's face resembles that of the [[Sarge]], and one of the Flippers keeps an [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven Fever)|Expedition Journal]], similar to the [[Rhythm Shiryo Shitsu#マーチャ活動記録 (Marcher Activity Log)|Marcher Activity Log]] and [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Blue Bird Diary|Blue Bird Diary]], down to the same dates.
*The Flippers, along with [[The Wandering Samurai]], have printed towels which were purchasable from Club Nintendo Japan in December 2012.
*Captain Tuck's appearance in the [[Barbershop Remix]] is the only time he is seen not wearing a hood.
*The information given in the [[Rhythm Item]]s is generally consistent across languages, but some alter certain details. For example, the Japanese and Korean versions state the latte Captain Tuck brews always contains sugar and milk, making it sweet. In all other versions, he never adds sugar, because the picture on the mug is all the sweetness he needs<ref>"隊長が、くんれんのあとに入れてくれるコーヒーは、サトウとミルクがいっぱい入ってるから、とてもあまくて、やさしい味がするんだ。だからボクたちでも、たくさん飲めて、体がぽっかぽか。明日もファイトだ！コロコロたんけん隊！！" (The coffee that the captain makes after training is full of sugar and milk, so it tastes very sweet and gentle. That's why we can drink a lot and our bodies are warm. Fight tomorrow! Korokoro Tanken Corps!!) ~ [[Blubber Latte|あまいコーヒー]] (Sweet Coffee), ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]''</ref>.

==Physical Appearance==
The seals are always seen together in a quartet; four identical seals with two blue dots on their heads and short black whiskers. The seals have blue noses, round bodies, short flippers, and "3" shaped mouths.
==Story==
The Flippers are always true to the words of [[Captain Tuck]], believing in his every command and staying true to his words. The perfect reward for Flipper Flop, [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven Fever)|Expedition Journal]], describes the adventures they go on with him.
April 16: They're set to arrive at their destination, although they don't seem to be moving and arrive at exactly where they've started. This is referencing their rhythm game, where they just roll back and forth and don't move anywhere.
April 20: A snow storm hits the flippers. They plan on using their "one flipper roll" strategy, and it doesn't seem like it will do the job. [[Captain Tuck]], however, says Good joooob!" and "Nice!", anyway, and the flippers trust the captain's judgement.
April 21: The one flipper roll strategy was ultimately a failure. The narrating flipper approaches the captain inquiring about the ten flipper roll strategy, but [[Captain Tuck]] just says, "Well done!". The flipper says he believes in his captain.
Aprill 22: After using their ten flipper rolls strategy, the team is dizzy and disorientated. The flipper asks the captain what the team should do, but [[Captain Tuck]] says, "That's it!". The story ends with the flipper restating that he believes in his captain.
[[File:Blubber_Latte.png|thumb]]
In [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]], the rhythm items for [[Flipper-Flop|Flipper Flop]] and [[Flipper-Flop 2|Flipper Flop 2]] state that the flipper love eating the [[Captain Tuck|captain]]'s borscht and drinking the coffee he makes them. [[Captain Tuck|The Captain]] loves the flippers dearly, saying that, rather than using sugar, the Flipper on his coffee mug is the only sweetness he needs.
==Purpose==
The Flippers keep the beat and follow the orders of their captain.
