=== Numbered Gate Battles === | |||
Since the concept of a boss in Pikmin 4 seems to be more defined by the setting rather than the enemy fought, it is helpful to instead look at all the scenarios that the game presents as a "boss battle" using characteristics seen in previous games. As stated above, this has typically been based on how the music changes, the type of rewards dropped, if there's a large arena for the fight, or if it is the final sublevel of the cave. | |||
Notably, [[numbered gate]]s located in caves are introduced in Pikmin 4, which display a number of enemies that must be defeated in order to open. Outside of [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]], this feature consistently appears to be associated with boss battles and encounters with a single tough enemy as the number is most frequently "01". When the number is higher, it is usually multiple enemies not truly considered bosses but still pose a boss-like level of difficulty given the conditions. Most often, the boss will drop a [[castaway]] and the gate will open to allow access to a treasure or vice-versa. This tends to make the battle a requirement to progress similar to boss battles of previous games, while other encounters with the same boss can be less difficult or skipped altogether. | |||
The following is a list of these numbered gate battles that debatably can be considered bosses, with the final boss included as the one exception (due to there being no need for a gate to block further progress). | |||
