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.

While other games may have what can be considered such, ''Pikmin 3'' is the first to distinctly define mini-bosses by using a different music theme – a remastered version of the boss theme from ''Pikmin 2''. Unlike the main bosses, their health will be reset at the start of a new day, and their corpses last only for the day they were defeated on. In [[Story mode]], these do not give out something plot-critical when defeated, and instead drop a [[fruit]].

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. | |||
