The '''Puffstool''' is a [[boss]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' that appears to be a huge walking fungus, strongly resembling a red-capped bolete. It has twin antennae ( much like a [[jellyfloat]]), a red-capped mushroom head and a tender yellow torso which is vulnerable to swarming. Only minimal details of the creature's biology of the game are supplied. The Puffstool is one of the enemies with which the [[crushing glitch]] happens fairly regularly; the frequency increased in the [[New Play Control! Pikmin|Wii version of the game]]. | The '''Puffstool''' is a [[boss]] in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' that appears to be a huge walking fungus, strongly resembling a red-capped bolete.

The best way to kill a Puffstool is to bring a large amount of Pikmin (anywhere from 60-100, though the more Pikmin the better). Bring the Pikmin down into it's lair and get the Puffstool to chase you, and therefore trip. Once it falls over, swarm it. Throw as many Pikmin as you can. Don't stop throwing Pikmin until it dies. You can usually kill it without it releasing any spores, but if it does manage to get back up, run away with all you Pikmin so they are not affected. Repeat the cycle again if nessecary. Usually you only need to do it once, but sometimes twice. Overall, the Puffstool is not too hard to defeat. | The best way to kill a Puffstool is to bring a large amount of Pikmin (anywhere from 60-100, though the more Pikmin the better).

Edit: Another easier way to kill the Puffstool is to just take Olimar alone, his throw acts like a punch when there are no pikmin around dealing damage to the boss. It takes a little over 4 minutes to punch the boss to death, and there is no need to worry about losing any pikmin. | Edit: Another easier way to kill the Puffstool is to just take Olimar alone, his throw acts like a punch when there are no pikmin around dealing damage to the boss.

In ''The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap'' for the Game Boy Advance, Puffstools are enemies that are encountered in a dungeon known as the Deepwood Shrine. If the player does not kill the Puffstools, they will leave clouds of gold spores everywhere, which must be disposed of with an item known as the 'gust jar'. Their appearance has been slightly altered. They now have eyes, a white ring around the cap of the mushroom, are taller, and have bigger feet. They are presumably about the same size as they are in Pikmin, in which Olimar's size makes them appear relatively much larger. | In ''The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap'' for the Game Boy Advance, Puffstools are enemies that are encountered in a dungeon known as the Deepwood Shrine.
