The player should have no more than 30 Pikmin (Yellows work best, as they are [[throw]]n higher), as a larger group can be hard to control and may cause a few deaths. When it has done 8 stomps (two with each leg), it will lean down. It will do this twice, so you should ignore it the first time, and then as soon as it begins to lean again, quickly throw Pikmin at its body. This will allow you to attack for a longer period of time. When it shivers, it is about to shake Pikmin off. Call the Pikmin quickly, or else they might fall off for a few seconds and lose their bud or flower status. | The player should have no more than 30 Pikmin (Yellows work best, as they are [[throw]]n higher), as a larger group can be hard to control and may cause a few deaths.

The Beady Long Legs can also be harmed by Pikmin attacking its feet; this is far more challenging and time-consuming, though in ''Pikmin 2'' it can be made easier by using [[Purple Pikmin]]. | The Beady Long Legs can also be harmed by Pikmin attacking its feet; this is far more challenging and time-consuming, though in ''Pikmin 2'' it can be made easier by using [[Purple Pikmin]]. If the player places 25 flowered [[Red Pikmin]] on the location where each foot is going to be, when the creature lands from above, its health will be dropped so fast that it will not have time to stomp even once, ensuring a clean and quick victory <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f2tFBwZOfM YouTube video] showing the Beady Long Legs in ''Pikmin 2'' being killed quickly by swarming its feet</ref>. It may be difficult to determine exactly where the feet end up at, though. | ||

In ''Pikmin'', the fastest way to defeat the creature is to have around 20 Red Pikmin and around 6 Yellow Pikmin with you. Before the boss lands, use {{button|gcn|C|wii|Paddown}} to organize your party so that Red Pikmin are the closest to you. Walk into the arena, and begin throwing Red Pikmin so that they attach to the creature when it lands; when the Beady Long Legs falls down, its core reaches low enough for non-Yellow Pikmin to be thrown at it. Throw as many Pikmin as you can, using the [[Throw#Group move trick|group move trick]]. When it shakes the Pikmin off, a few of them will remain attached. Carefully whistle the ones that got knocked down and throw them at the core again. The creature should be dead just as it's shaking the second time. <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emgi4V8zjM8 YouTube video showing a fast kill on the Beady Long Legs | In ''Pikmin'', the fastest way to defeat the creature is to have around 20 Red Pikmin and around 6 Yellow Pikmin with you.
