In this game, the expedition team, Captain Tuck and the Flippers, drills hard exploring the icy landscape. The player must flip to the beat of the song. When three consecutive eighth notes played are heard in the song, the player must do a faster flip, three times quickly. Captain Tuck occasionally asks the seals to perform up to ten flipper-rolls.

  • Early!/Late!: The player flips off the beat, causing a "tick" sound. The player's seal has a worried look on its face.
