In ''Pikmin'', it is assumed by fans that a boss is any enemy that appears once or twice in the main story mode and does not return once defeated. Bosses are also seen as strong creatures that, without proper care, can decrease a player's Pikmin count sharply; as such, the [[Breadbug]] is not recognized as a boss by fans. Some bosses are more clearly labeled as such, however: when fighting the [[Beady Long Legs]] or [[Emperor Bulblax]], specific music themes play. | In ''Pikmin'', it is assumed by fans that a boss is any enemy that appears once or twice in the main story mode and does not return once defeated.

In ''Pikmin 2'', all bosses use a special boss theme, and the ones that do not use their own unique theme, specifically the [[Titan Dweevil]], the [[Waterwraith]] and the [[Giant Breadbug]]. They also appear in a larger bubble on the [[Piklopedia]]'s listing. In ''Pikmin 3'', the main bosses are clearly labeled by the game, and their battles are considerably more complex than with most other enemies. These bosses can be re-fought in special [[Mission Mode]] stages. They normally have clearly define vulnerability and invulnerability phases, commonly attacking during the latter. Other, less notable bosses appear in ''Pikmin 3'' as well, and are normally distinguished by fans as '''mini-bosses'''. These do not give out something plot-critical when defeated, and have a different music theme. | In ''Pikmin 2'', all bosses use a special boss theme, and the ones that do not use their own unique theme, specifically the [[Titan Dweevil]], the [[Waterwraith]] and the [[Giant Breadbug]].

Boss corpses will also last until the next day, but not any longer. Both of these do not go for the mini-bosses, however. | ||
