===Strategy===
Red Bulborbs are amongst the easiest to kill of all the enemies in Pikmin Adventure. However, should they get ahold of a player, they will do 1 of 2 things: They will either grab the player in their mouths, swing them around, and then toss them far away, or they will eat the player, turning them into Droppings, making it impossible for them to be whistled at or for them to attack, and they must be broken out by Olimar or other Pikmin.


The only weak spot Red Bulborbs have are their backs, which, due to their quick speed and jumpy movements, make it somewhat challenging for Olimar to attack. It is best advised that players controlling Pikmin themselves attack these enemies to take them down swiftly without any damage.
This is a list of '''[[Enemy|enemies]]''' found in the ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' attraction ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''.


==Yellow Bulborb==
== Bulborb ==
[[File:Yellow_Bulborb_NL.png|thumb|A Yellow Bulborb ready to attack the Blue Pikmin player.]]'''Yellow Bulborbs''' are another class of mechanical Bulborbs fought in Pikmin Adventure, and act as the first mini-boss in the minigame. These ones, in particular, are essentially mechanized versions of the [[Yellow Bulborb]]s seen in beta footage of ''Pikmin 2''. Yellow Bulborbs are usually larger than the Red Bulborbs.
[[File:Bulborb NL.png|thumb|225px|The Bulborb [[Pikmin Adventure prizes|statue]] in the ''Nintendo Land'' Plaza.]]
===Strategy===
To defeat Yellow Bulborbs, the player can either attack the weak spots on their sides, or, in the smaller variations, attack the weakspots on their heads.


Yellow Bulborbs, in addition to their basic melee biting attack, are capable of spewing orbs of water thet ensnare players, rendering them helpless and useless until they are freed. If a player is trapped in a water bubble, they can be freed by having other Pikmin attack them. Unlike other types of Bulborbs, Yellows have the ability to charge at players which will instantly kill smaller Pikmin and damage larger ones. They have difficulty changing direction while charging, however, so this attack isn't too difficult to avoid.
The '''Bulborb''' ({{j|チャッピー|Chappī|Chappy}}) 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|main ''Pikmin'' series]], featuring three large white spots on its sides, large stalkless eyes that turn red when attacking, screws connecting the mouth to the main body, two small spots and 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 larger than the player, but there are larger and smaller Bulborbs that can be found in certain areas.


==Green Bulborb==
=== Behavior ===
[[File:Screen_Shot_2014-07-12_at_9.14.05_PM.png|thumb|178px|A Sleeping Green Bulborb]]
The Bulborb can be found either sleeping or being sent into the area by a gashapon capsule before it starts walking towards a player. It has two walking speeds, a slow walk and a slightly faster walk that is replaced by an attack once the Bulborb is close to a player. Alongside this is a small hop that it can do to avoid attacks and quickly get close to players. Once the Bulborb is close enough to a player, it will either charge a dash in a straight line or attempt 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 properly whistled at or attack enemies. In this state, the player must be broken out either by Olimar or other Pikmin damaging the Bulborb Dropping or by entering a body of [[water]]. If the Bulborb is defeated while a player is bring eaten, the player will be sent flying out of its mouth.
'''Green Bulborbs''' are semi-common foes encountered in Pikmin Adventure, and are larger than most Mecha Bulborbs. They usually appear in enclosed areas, requiring the player to manually break them out, or in dark areas, requiring the player to use the nearby [[Common Glowcap#Pikmin Adventure|Glowing Mushroom]] to upgrade their light source.
 
===Strategy===
=== Strategy ===
Green Bulborbs are basically just larger versions of the other bulborbs, but they can follow the player when charging, unlike the Red Bulborbs, which only travel in a straight line. It s
The only weak spot the Bulborb has is on its back, making it easy to throw Pikmin at or directly attack it. The Bulborb will try to shake off all of the 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 slowly walk around, move out of its sight to make it look for any other players in sight, 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.
hould be noted, however, that Green Bulborbs are usually spawned with bombs or boulders available near them, so it would be advised that if you are low on hearts, to simply take them out wit
 
h bombs before they even wake up.

{{otheruses|the enemy in ''Pikmin Adventure''|the unused enemy|Pikmin 2 prerelease information#Early bulborbs}}
 
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 [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#Bulborb|Bulborb]] in appearance, but is colored yellow instead of red or green. Much like the red Bulborb, the Yellow Bulborb is typically found slightly larger than players but larger ones can be encountered in certain areas.
 
=== Behavior ===
The Yellow Bulborb, unlike other Bulborb variants, does not charge at far away players, instead, it shoots out a projectile to harm the player. On top of this, the Yellow Bulborb will hop around often to dodge attacks and get close to eat players.
 
The Yellow Bulborb can either spew orbs of water that ensnare players, rendering them helpless until they are freed, or a [[Pikmin Adventure prizes#Spike Ball|spike ball]], which will take out a player that gets hit by it. If a player is trapped in a water bubble, they have to be freed by having other Olimar or orher Pikmin attack them, similar to the Bulborb Dropping.
 
=== Strategy ===
Due to being a variant of the 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, meaning they are good times to attack if the players are able to avoid the projectile.

The '''Green Bulborb''' is a semi-common Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It is nearly identical to the [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#Bulborb|Bulborb]] in appearance, except it is green instead of red or yellow. It often appears in groups, requiring players to either take on a small group of them, or in some cases, simply run away from them.
 
=== Behavior ===
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 target the player when charging. Once it finishes a charge, it will start panting for a short amount of time.
 
=== Strategy ===
Because the Green Bulborb starts panting after charging, it is very easy to attack it when it isn't charging. When the Green Bulborb is charging however, it is advised to run away because the homing charge makies 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 attack them from a safe area.

==Bilious Bulborb==
==Bilious Bulborb==
[[File:Bilious Bulborb NL.png|thumb|A Bilious Bulborb as seen in the Nintendo Land Plaza.]]'''Bilious Bulborbs''' are the largest of all the common mechanical Bulborbs found throughout Pikmin Adventure, and is the second miniboss the player fights. It's eyes and color make it resemble the Orange Bulborb from ''Pikmin 2''. They have smaller spots than normal, so it is suggested that they may not be part of the Bulborb subspecies.
[[File:Bilious Bulborb NL.png|thumb|225px|The Bilious Bulborb [[Pikmin Adventure prizes|statue]] in the ''Nintendo Land'' Plaza.]]
===Monita's Notes===
 
''"The different size spots suggest that these may not be a true subspecies of Bulborb at all. Or perhaps they're normal Bulborbs feeling a little under the weather."''
The '''Bilious Bulborb''' ({{j|テンテンチャッピー|Tenten Chappī|[[Orange Bulborb|Restless Chappy]]}}) is the rarest non-boss 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 the other Bulborb variants, so it is suggested by Monita that it may not be a Bulborb subspecies.
===Strategy===
 
Upon entering its area, the mechanical beast will awaken and the battle will begin with a roar. Rather than charging the player like most enemies do, the Bilious Bulborb will instead stand in place and shoot [[Spike Ball]]s out of its mouth. If the player or Pikmin are equipped with a Hammer Seed or Knuckle Seed, they can avoid this attack at the expense of losing the powerup.
=== Behavior ===
The Bilious Bulborb shares most of the attacks that are used by the three standard Bulborb variants. It can shoot out [[Pikmin Adventure prizes#Spike Ball|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.
 
=== Strategy ===
The best way to defeat the Bilious Bulborb is with multiple players. Have the Mii 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 best way to defeat this creature is on multiplayer, as getting behind it is difficult on single player. Have the player controlling Olimar run around so the other Mii Pikmin can get to the weakpoints dotting its back. Once the miniboss has taken enough damage, it will rage and get faster, and will be quicker to shake off Pikmin. Fortunately, the stage may have rocks at its edges. If it does, Olimar or the Pikmin can pick these up to throw them at the boss. If the rocks hit the creature on a weakpoint or directly on its face, it will be dazed for a few seconds. If utilized properly, the rocks can turn the tide in a losing battle and save the player.
==Creepy Beeb==
==Creepy Beeb==
[[File:Creepy_Beeb_NL.png|thumb|Four Creepy Beebs.]]
[[File:PA Creepy Beeb Statue.png|thumb|225px|The Creepy Beeb [[Pikmin Adventure prizes|statue]] in the ''Nintendo Land'' Plaza.]]
'''Creepy Beebs''' are the smallest enemies found in Pikmin Adventure. They are unique in the sense that they are listed as belonging to the "Beeb Family", a family that is not listed in the current Pikmin series. Beebs or Beeb-like enemies are not seen in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They resemble small purple orbs with 4 legs and 2 large, stalked eyes. They also have an antenna coming out of the tops of their heads.
 
===Monita's Notes===
The '''Creepy Beeb''' ({{j|ザコワラジ|Zako Waraji|Small Fry Woodlouse}}; known as the '''Worker Baub''' in the European version) 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]], with the main design difference being a ring around the yellow tip of the antenna.
''"Creepy Beebs are about the size of Olimar and move in packs. They're usually quite peaceful creatures, but their flexible legs and formidible charge attack help them when they feel threatened."''
 
=== Behavior ===
When it is not attacking players, the Creepy Beeb will walk towards a player even if they are far from its spawning point. The Creepy Beeb attacks by rolling forward a short distance that can take out a player.
 
=== Strategy ===
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 they still function identically to the small ones.

== Bombardier Beeb ==
[[File:PA Bombardier Beeb Statue.png|thumb|225px|The Bombardier Beeb [[Pikmin Adventure prizes|statue]] in the ''Nintendo Land'' plaza.]]
 
The '''Bombardier Beeb''' ({{j|サクレワラジ|Sakure Waraji|Bursting Woodlouse}}; known as the '''Bombardier Baub''' in the European version) is one of the rarer enemies in ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. It is a variant of the [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#Creepy Beeb|Creepy Beeb]] that explodes after a few seconds of spotting a player. It has a number of common characteristics with the Creepy Beeb including black feet and stalked googly eyes, but it also has a few major design differences as well including rivets on its sides and a fuse in place of an antenna.
 
=== Behavior ===
Upon spotting a player, the Bombardier Beeb will activate the fuse on its head and chase after them. After about 5 seconds, it will stand in place and panic for a second before [[Explosion#In Pikmin Adventure|exploding]], causing an explosion that can damage nearby players, enemies, and destructible blocks similar to standard bombs.
 
=== Strategy ===
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 and taken out in the explosion.

== Blowhog ==
[[File:PA Blowhog Statue.png|225|thumb|The Blowhog [[Pikmin Adventure prizes|statue]] in the ''Nintendo Land'' Plaza.]]
 
The '''Blowhog''' ({{j|フーセンドックリ|Fūsen Dokkuri|Balloon Tokkuri}}; known as the '''[[Puffy Blowhog]]''' in the European version) is an uncommon enemy that appears in ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. 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.
 
=== Behavior ===
The Blowhog is usually found hovering still and looking in one direction. Once it sees a player the Blowhog will start to move towards them until it gets close enough to the player and turns its snout into a spike and tries to ram the players head-on in a straight line.
 
=== Strategy ===
Since the Blowhog's entire body is a weak point similar to the [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#Creepy Beeb|Creepy Beeb]], attacking it is easier than most enemies. However, it is very mobile, making precision in throwing difficult, and it usually hovers over [[pit]]s, making it difficult to throw Pikmin at it without losing them. The player can either attack it from afar with a [[Whip Seed]] or try to lure it over solid ground in order to safely take it out.

'''{{US|Y}}''': {{transcript|This unfriendly beast attacks by shooting needles from its mouth but mellows considerably after the initial assault. Still, a balloon with needles inside of it... That sounds like a dangerous combination!|block=y}}
Creepy Beebs come in various sizes: Small, easy-to-kill Beebs, medium, still easy to kill Beebs, and larger, more dangerous ones. They all attack by flashing a yellow color, and rolling forward. The smaller ones are the easiest enemies to kill, as they die in one hit due to their entire body being a single weakpoint. They only roll forward a tiny bit, so avoiding their attack is very simple. The medium Beebs take a few hits to kill, but are still very simple to get rid of their attacks are the same as the small ones. The larger ones curl up into a ball to roll around continuously, crushing anything in their path. These types must be attacked when they are not rolling, or the player can also use rocks and bombs if available to stop them from rolling and daze them. They have a lot more health than the small and medium Creepy Beebs.

'''Bombardier Beebs''' are one of the more rare enemies seen in [[Pikmin Adventure]]. They are a variant of the common Beeb enemy that explodes after a few seconds of being spotted, making them similar to the [[Volatile Dweevil]]s from ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' in means of attack, but not in appearance.

Bombardier Beebs are the size of a large normal Beeb. Upon spotting a Player, they will activate a fuse on their heads and chase them. After about 5 seconds, they will stand in place and panic for a second before exploding, causing a shock wave that will damage nearby enemies in a short range, and easily take out nearby destructible blocks.

Their entire body is a weak point, making attacking them somewhat easier then with most enemies. However, they are small, making precision in throwing difficult, and they usually hover over pits, making it difficult to throw Pikmin at them without losing them. Sometimes they will float over solid ground to combat the player, so it is best to kill them then.

[[File:PA Telescoping Pumphog statue.png|thumb|225px|The Telescoping Pumphog [[Pikmin Adventure prizes|statue]] in the ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' plaza.]]
'''Telescoping Pumphogs''' are enemies that appear after you defeat the [[Bulblord]] in [[Pikmin Adventure]]. Some are completely stationary and are difficult to kill when they charge up for an attack. Others delve underground and pop back up to shoot projectiles at you. They are based on the [[Blowhog]]s from the Pikmin series. When she was younger, Monita named them "huffy puffers", which spoofs the sentence "I'll huff and puff and blow this house down!" in folklore.
 
===Monita's Notes===
The '''Telescoping Pumphog''' ({{j|ポンプドックリ|Ponpu Dokkuri|Pump Tokkuri}}) 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.
''"This creature compresses air in its bellows-shaped body and uses the pressure to shoot water or projectiles. I called them Huffy Puffers in my younger days. Oh, the quirks of a single core processor."''
 
===Strategy===
=== Behavior ===
[[File:Telescoping Pumphog extend NL.png|thumb|left|A Telescoping Pumphog extending upward.]]Telescoping Pumphogs are usually found guarding a portal to the level's next area or simply baracading an important path. When stationary, they sit about, facing a set direction. When the player comes into range, they will rise up, revealing their tube-like undersegment which inflates. They then push down, which fires out a projectile from their snouts. This projectile is usually a [[Spike Ball]], but there are variants fought in later levels who can shoot bombs or, in even rarer cases, homing missiles.
Most Telescoping Pumphogs are completely stationary and are unable to do much of anything other than shoot projectiles while a few others can delve underground and pop back up to shoot projectiles and temporarily avoid damage from players.

This is a list of enemies found in the Nintendo Land attraction Pikmin Adventure.

BulborbEdit

The Bulborb (チャッピー?, lit.: "Chappy") 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 main Pikmin series, featuring three large white spots on its sides, large stalkless eyes that turn red when attacking, screws connecting the mouth to the main body, two small spots and a hole on its back to expel Bulborb Droppings, and lacks any legs connecting the body to the feet. The average Bulborb is slightly larger than the player, but there are larger and smaller Bulborbs that can be found in certain areas.

BehaviorEdit

The Bulborb can be found either sleeping or being sent into the area by a gashapon capsule before it starts walking towards a player. It has two walking speeds, a slow walk and a slightly faster walk that is replaced by an attack once the Bulborb is close to a player. Alongside this is a small hop that it can do to avoid attacks and quickly get close to players. Once the Bulborb is close enough to a player, it will either charge a dash in a straight line or attempt 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 properly whistled at or attack enemies. In this state, the player must be broken out either by Olimar or other Pikmin damaging the Bulborb Dropping or by entering a body of water. If the Bulborb is defeated while a player is bring eaten, the player will be sent flying out of its mouth.

StrategyEdit

The only weak spot the Bulborb has is on its back, making it easy to throw Pikmin at or directly attack it. The Bulborb will try to shake off all of the 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 slowly walk around, move out of its sight to make it look for any other players in sight, 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.

Monita's notesEdit

  US version:

These grub-dog predators tend to sleep during the day and attack aggressively if woken from a nap. Bulborbs come in a wide variety of colors--now on sale at our gift shop!

Yellow BulborbEdit

Because this subject has no official name, the name "Yellow Bulborb" is conjectural.

 
A Yellow Bulborb ready to attack a Mii Blue Pikmin player.


This article is about the enemy in Pikmin Adventure. For the unused enemy, see Pikmin 2 prerelease information#Early bulborbs.

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 red Bulborb, the Yellow Bulborb is typically found slightly larger than players but larger ones can be encountered in certain areas.

BehaviorEdit

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

The Yellow Bulborb can either spew orbs of water that ensnare players, rendering them helpless until they are freed, or a spike ball, which will take out a player that gets hit by it. If a player is trapped in a water bubble, they have to be freed by having other Olimar or orher Pikmin attack them, similar to the Bulborb Dropping.

StrategyEdit

Due to being a variant of the 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, meaning they are good times to attack if the players are able to avoid the projectile.

Green BulborbEdit

Because this subject has no official name, the name "Green Bulborb" is conjectural.

 
A sleeping Green Bulborb.

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 often appears in groups, requiring players to either take on a small group of them, or in some cases, simply run away from them.

BehaviorEdit

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 target the player when charging. Once it finishes a charge, it will start panting for a short amount of time.

StrategyEdit

Because the Green Bulborb starts panting after charging, it is very easy to attack it when it isn't charging. When the Green Bulborb is charging however, it is advised to run away because the homing charge makies 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 attack them from a safe area.

Bilious BulborbEdit

 
The Bilious Bulborb statue in the Nintendo Land Plaza.

The Bilious Bulborb (テンテンチャッピー?, lit.: "Restless Chappy") is the rarest non-boss 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 the other Bulborb variants, so it is suggested by Monita that it may not be a Bulborb subspecies.

BehaviorEdit

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.

StrategyEdit

The best way to defeat the Bilious Bulborb is with multiple players. Have the Mii 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.

Monita's notesEdit

  US version:

The different-sized spots suggest that these may not be a true subspecies of Bulborb at all. Or perhaps they're just normal Bulborbs feeling a little under the weather.

  European version:

The different-sized spots suggest that these may not be a true subspecies of Bulborb at all. ◆ Or perhaps they're just normal Bulborbs feeling a little under the weather.

Creepy BeebEdit

 
The Creepy Beeb statue in the Nintendo Land Plaza.

The Creepy Beeb (ザコワラジ?, lit.: "Small Fry Woodlouse"; known as the Worker Baub in the European version) 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, with the main design difference being a ring around the yellow tip of the antenna.

BehaviorEdit

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

StrategyEdit

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 they still function identically to the small ones.

Monita's notesEdit

  US version:

Creepy Beebs are about the size of Olimar and move in packs. They're usually quite peaceful creatures, but their flexible legs and formidable charge attack help them when they feel threatened.

  European version:

Worker Baubs are about the size of Olimar and move in groups. These industrious creatures are usually peaceful, but their flexible legs and formidable charge help them when they feel threatened.

Bombardier BeebEdit

 
The Bombardier Beeb statue in the Nintendo Land plaza.

The Bombardier Beeb (サクレワラジ?, lit.: "Bursting Woodlouse"; known as the Bombardier Baub in the European version) is one of the rarer enemies 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 with the Creepy Beeb including black feet and stalked googly eyes, but it also has a few major design differences as well including rivets on its sides and a fuse in place of an antenna.

BehaviorEdit

Upon spotting a player, the Bombardier Beeb will activate the fuse on its head and chase after them. After about 5 seconds, it will stand in place and panic for a second before exploding, causing an explosion that can damage nearby players, enemies, and destructible blocks similar to standard bombs.

StrategyEdit

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 and taken out in the explosion.

Monita's notesEdit

  US version:

This creature is equipped with a fuse and will detonate when approached. Whatever you do, don't go anywhere near it carrying something flammable. Or inflammable, for that matter.

  European version:

This creature is equipped with a fuse and will detonate when approached. ◆ Whatever you do, don't go anywhere near it carrying something flammable. Or inflammable for that matter.

BlowhogEdit

 
The Blowhog statue in the Nintendo Land Plaza.

The Blowhog (フーセンドックリ?, lit.: "Balloon Tokkuri"; known as the Puffy Blowhog in the European version) is an uncommon enemy that appears in Pikmin Adventure. 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.

BehaviorEdit

The Blowhog is usually found hovering still and looking in one direction. Once it sees a player the Blowhog will start to move towards them until it gets close enough to the player and turns its snout into a spike and tries to ram the players head-on in a straight line.

StrategyEdit

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

Monita's notesEdit

  US version:

This unfriendly beast attacks by shooting needles from its mouth but mellows considerably after the initial assault. Still, a balloon with needles inside of it... That sounds like a dangerous combination!

Telescoping PumphogEdit

 
The Telescoping Pumphog statue in the Nintendo Land plaza.

The Telescoping Pumphog (ポンプドックリ?, lit.: "Pump Tokkuri") 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.

BehaviorEdit

Most Telescoping Pumphogs are completely stationary and are unable to do much of anything other than shoot projectiles while a few 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 out bombs and water.

StrategyEdit

The Telescoping Pumphog's weak-spot is located directly on its head, making it hard to attack 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 comes across this variant, their only option is to advance to the next part of the level quickly while avoiding the indestructible Pumphog's projectiles.
