→Tough enemy encounters in Pikmin 4: If this is going by order of boss encounter by cave, and the latter half of the list is based on Cavern for a King, then the Bloomcap Bloyster should be listed before the Horned Cannon Beetle.

Oddly, [[Candypop Bud]]s, [[geyser]]s, and [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]s are also technically bosses, though this is likely due to their unique nature as enemies.

In addition, the [[Calcified Crushblat]], [[Peckish Aristocrab]], and [[Medusal Slurker]] are sometimes considered mini-bosses by fans due to their difficulty, rare appearances, and the fact that they protect a fruit or drop one when defeated, but they do not have the mini-boss theme. | |||

The final day of [[Olimar's Comeback]], [[The Ship Restored]], has a unique boss fight against golden variants of the Baldy Long Legs and Shaggy Long Legs (the latter with larger feet). This fight has unique battle music. While this fight isn't much different from either of their normal variants, they warrant distinction as their fight comes with a unique boss theme. | |||

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. | 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.
