The following W.I.P. is a rewrite of the [[Pikmin Adventure enemies]] page.

The '''Bulborb''' is the most common Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure'', being found in almost every level. It bears a resemblance to the [[Bulborb]] from the [[Pikmin series|mainline ''Pikmin'' games]], featuring three large white spots on its sides, large stalkless eyes that turn red when attacking, screws connecting the mouth to the main body, a hole on its back to expel [[Pikmin Adventure prizes#Bulborb Dropping|Bulborb Droppings]], and lacks any legs connecting the body to the feet. The average Bulborb is slightly bigger than the players, but there are larger Bulborbs found in certain areas.

The Bulborb can be found either sleeping or being sent into the area by a gashapon capsule before it starts walking towards the player. It has three walking speeds, a slow walk, a slightly faster walk that is replaced by an attack once the Bulborb is close to the players, and a small hop that helps close the gap between thte Bulborb and the players. Once the Bulborb is close enough to a player, it will either charge a dash in a straight line or try to eat a player depending on how far they are to the Bulborb. If the Bublorb is able to catch a player, it will toss them up, eat them, and turn them into a Bulborb Dropping, making it impossible for them to be whistled at or attack enemies. In this state, the player must be broken out by Olimar or other Pikmin. If the Bulborb is defeated while a player is bring eaten, the player will be sent flying out of its mouth.

The Bulborb is one of the easiest enemies to defeat in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It is easy to dodge its charge, but can take out a player if they aren't careful. The only weak spot the Bulborb has is on its back. The Bulborb will try to shake off Pikmin that are on its weak spot, causing them to be knocked over for a little bit. There are ways to circumvent the Bulborb's movement and shaking, however, either by waiting for it to do its slow walk, move out of its sight while it is attacking, or wait for it to start panting. These are the ideal times to attack the Bulborb since it won't be able to shake off the Pikmin on its back until after it starts trying to move.

==Yellow Bulborb==

The '''Yellow Bulborb''' is a common Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure'', and acts as the first mini-boss in the attraction. It is almost identical to the Bulborb in appearance, but is colored yellow instead of red or green. Much like the Bulborb, the Yellow Bulborb is typically found slightly larger than players but larger ones are slightly more common to encounter than standard large Bulborbs.

The Yellow Bulborb, unlike other Bulborb variants, does not charge at far away players, instead it shoots a projectile to attack the player. On top of this, the Yellow Bulborb will hop around often to dodge attacks and get close to eat players.

Due to being a variant of the standard Bulborb, it has a very similar method to defeat it. It will not shake off Pikmin when it is panting or when it is shooting projectiles, being a good time to attack if the projectile misses all players.

The '''Green Bulborb''' is a semi-common Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It is nearly identical to the Bulborb in appearance, except it is green instead of red or yellow. It usually appears in groups, requiring players to either take on a small group of them, or in some cases, simply run away from them.

The Green Bulborb, unlike the other Bulborb variants, can only charge at the players on sight and has no other methods of attack, but it can follow the player when charging, unlike the other Bulborb variants. Once it finishes a charge, it will start panting for a short amount of time..

Because of the fact that the Green Bulborb starts panting after charging, it is very easy to deal with it when it isn't charging. When the Green Bulborb is charging however, it is advised to run away from it because of the homing charge making it difficult to attack without getting hit by it. If possible, one should try to lure charging the Green Bulborb into a [[pit]] or a small area to deal with them from a safe area.

==Bilious Bulborb==

The '''Bilious Bulborb''' is the rarest standard Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure'', and is the seventh mini-boss the player fights. Its thinner eyes and orange color scheme resembles that of the [[Orange Bulborb]]. It has smaller spots than other Bulborb variants, so it is suggested by Monita that it may not be a Bulborb subspecies.

 

The Bilious Bulborb shares most of the attacks that are used by the three standard Bulborb variants. It can shoot out Spike Balls and water like the Yellow Bulborb, except it shoots out 6 spike balls in different directions. It also charges in a straight line and pants afterwards like the Red and Green Bulborbs respectively.

The best way to defeat the Bilious Bulborb is with multiple players. Have the Olimar player run around it so the other Mii Pikmin can get to the weak-points dotting its back. If the arena has rocks or bombs nearby, Olimar or the Pikmin can pick them up to throw them at the Bilious Bulborb. If the rocks hit the creature on a weak-point or directly on its face, it will be stunned for a few seconds. If the bombs land close enough to the Bilious Bulborb, it can deal massive damage to all the weak spots at once. If utilized properly, the rocks and bombs can turn the tide in a losing battle and defeat the Bilious Bulborb.

The '''Creepy Beeb''' (known as the '''Worker Baub''' in the European version of ''Pikmin Adventure'') is the most common enemy found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. The standard appearance features a purple orb with four flexible yellow legs with black feet, stalked googly eyes, and a yellow and green antenna coming out of the top of its head. There is also a variant that features blue legs and yellow feet like the [[King Beeb]], but also features a ring around the yellow tip of its antenna.

 

When it is not attacking players, the Creepy Beeb will try to move towards the player even if they are away from its spawning point. The Creepy Beeb attacks by rolling forward a short distance that can take out careless players.

The Creepy Beeb is the easiest enemy to kill in '''Pikmin Adventure''', as it can die in one direct hit and get weighed down by a single Pikmin due to its entire body being a single weak-point. It only rolls forward a little bit, so avoiding its attack is very simple. Some Creepy Beebs take slightly more hits to kill, but are still very simple to get rid of as their attacks are the same as the small ones.

The '''Bombardier Beeb''' (known as the '''Bombardier Baub''' in the European version of ''Pikmin Adventure'') is one of the rarer enemies seen in ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. It is a variant of the Creepy Beeb that explodes after a few seconds of spotting a player. It has a number of common characteristics to the Creepy Beeb with the black feet and stalked googly eyes, but it also has a few major differences as well including rivets on its sides and a fuse in place of an antenna.

===Behavior===

It is not recommended to attack the Bombardier Beeb directly because of the short time it takes before exploding compared to the high amount of health it often has. Instead, the Bombardier Beeb can be used to the players' advantage to destroy other enemies and obstacles, but they must be careful to not get caught in the blast radius, or else they will be engulfed in the explosion.

==Blowhog==

[[File:PA Blowhog Statue.png|thumb|The Blowhog [[Pikmin Adventure prizes|statue]] as seen in the ''Nintendo Land'' Plaza.]]

The '''Blowhog''' (known as the '''Puffy Blowhog''' in the European version of ''Pikmin Adventure'') is a rare enemy that appears in [[Pikmin Adventure]]'s later levels. It is a purple orb with a blue snout that is lifted by a propellor and features eyes that are often covered up by its eyelids almost always being nearly closed.

 

Instead of blowing from its snout at Pikmin like other Blowhogs, the Blowhog turns its snout into a spike and tries to ram the players head-on in a straight line.

Since the Blowhog's entire body is a weak point similar to the Creepy Beeb, attacking it is easier then with most enemies. However, it is very mobile, making precision in throwing slightly difficult, and it usually hovers over [[pits]], making it difficult to throw Pikmin at it without losing them. The player can either attack them from afar with a [[Whip Seed]] or try to lure it over solid ground to minimize losses.

 

[[File:PA Telescoping Pumphog statue.png|thumb|The Telescoping Pumphog [[Pikmin Adventure prizes|statue]] in the ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' plaza.]]

The '''Telescoping Pumphog''' is a common enemy found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. Its face bears a resemblance to the [[Fiery Blowhog]], sharing very similar eyes and snout, but is otherwise very different, being a stationary tower that can pump out projectiles.

 

Most Telescoping Pumphogs are completely stationary and are unable to do much other than shoot projectiles while others can delve underground and pop back up to shoot projectiles and temporarily avoid damage from players.  

 

When it is stationary, the Telescoping Pumphog sits about, facing a set direction. When it notices a player, it will start rising up, revealing its tube-like under-segment which inflates. It will then push down, which fires out a projectile from its snout. This projectile is usually a [[Spike Ball]], but there are a few variants that shoot bombs and water.

The Telescoping Pumphog's weak-spot is located directly on its head, making it hard to hit when it rises up to charge its attack. However, when it is on the ground, right after attacking, it is extremely vulnerable, so it is advised to attack them then.

It should be noted, however, that some variants of the Telescoping Pumphog do not have a weak-point at all, making it the only enemy in ''Pikmin Adventure'' that is completely invincible. If a player has to come across this variant, their only option is to advance to the next part of the level quickly while avoiding the indestructible Pumphog's projectiles.
