Kirby's Dream Land
In Kirby's Dream Land, Tookey replaces Twizzy in the Extra Game. Similarly to Twizzys, they are often seen flying towards the left of the screen, causing damage to Kirby upon contact. They are also found on the ground like Twizzys, but will fly around when they see Kirby rather than just hop about.
Kirby's Pinball Land
Tookey (known here as Cluck[1]) appears in the uppermost board of Poppy Brothers' Land. Here, it hops back and forth, and if hit three times, turns into a Maxim Tomato (though it cannot be hit while in the middle of its hop). Each hit is worth 1000 points.
Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra
In Kirby Super Star and its remake, Tookeys are often found in the same areas as Twizzys rather than replacing them. Their attacks are comparably easier to avoid in this game. In Revenge of the King, they are replaced by Cawcuns.
Locations
Tookey can be found in the following places in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra:
