In [[speedrun]]s, this strategy is particularly useful, and it's even faster if the player waits for the boss to stand still on the wall for a few seconds. Sometimes, the Mawdad will run around the arena a bit before stopping, and sometimes it will stop immediately. It's best to just wait for it to stop, as this will maximize the time the Pikmin stay stuck on the tail. This can be used to defeat the boss in under thirty seconds. | In [[speedrun]]s, this strategy is particularly useful, and it's even faster if the player waits for the boss to stand still on the wall for a few seconds.

Another strategy is to gather all Pikmin, throw a Rock Pikmin in its path at the start, throw two Rock Pikmin at the tail piece so it's ready to shatter the first time, and as soon as the Rock Pikmin dies, start throwing Rock Pikmin to completely break the tail piece. After that, the Pikmin can be ordered to charge at the tail, and the boss should go down without climbing the wall once.{{cite web|https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm28912529|Video|Niconico video|published={{date|24|May|2016}}|retrieved={{date|16|October|2018}}}} | |||
