Marxo Grouch (talk | contribs) (I’m pretty sure this section doesn’t count Dandori Challenge encounters, and the Calcified Crushlat, Medusal Slurker, Peckish Aristocrab, and Puffstool don’t have the proper designation as bosses in these games.) |
Marxo Grouch (talk | contribs) (→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. As a result, approaching a Candypop Bud or a geyser will change the [[music]] to the enemy battle variant. | 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.

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. | |||
