The '''Puffstool''' is | The '''Puffstool''' is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' that appears to be a huge walking fungus, strongly resembling a red-capped bolete. It has twin antennae, a red-capped mushroom head and a tender yellow torso which is vulnerable to swarming. Only minimal details of the creature's biology of the game are supplied. The Puffstool is one of the enemies with which the [[crushing glitch]] happens fairly regularly; the frequency increased in the [[New Play Control! Pikmin|Wii version of the game]]. | ||
The Puffstool will try to run when attacked, but its legs are clearly not made for sprinting and it trips easily, landing on its head with feet in the air. Since the cap is invulnerable to attack, [[Pikmin | The Puffstool will try to run when attacked, but its legs are clearly not made for sprinting and it trips easily, landing on its head with feet in the air. Since the cap is invulnerable to attack, [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] must be thrown onto its undersection once it's on the ground. After a few seconds, the Puffstool will right itself up and blow out a purplish cloud of spores which cause a strange change in nearby Pikmin, which the Puffstool acts as a [[Captain]] for. Affected Pikmin turn purple and grow small brown mushroom caps on their stalks. These Pikmin are known infamously as [[Mushroom Pikmin]]. | ||

To quickly dispatch the Puffstool, bring about 80 [[Red Pikmin]] into its arena. First swarm its legs with about 30 Pikmin. It will try to run away, but flip over, legs flailing. It will also crush most of those underneath, but in this state you can kill it by throwing all remaining Pikmin on top. It will die, and appear to deflate, leaving a large circle that can be carried by 10 Pikmin if in story mode. | To quickly dispatch the Puffstool, bring about 80 [[Red Pikmin]] into its arena.

To minimize the risk of losing Pikmin, it is recommended to attack only with the [[captain]]. Furthermore, the Puffstool has no attacks that could harm Olimar. Note, however, that this may consume a fair amount of time, and as the sporing habits of the Puffstool are fully predictable, having Pikmin turned into mushroom-Pikmin is usually not a problem for competent players. | To minimize the risk of losing Pikmin, it is recommended to attack only with the [[captain]].

In ''Legend Of Zelda: The Minish Cap'' for the Game Boy Advance, Puffstools are enemies that are encountered in a dungeon known as the Deepwood Shrine. If the player does not kill the Puffstools, they will leave clouds of gold spores everywhere, which must be disposed of with an item known as the 'gust jar'. Their appearance has been slightly altered. They now have eyes, a white ring around the cap of the mushroom, are taller, and have bigger feet. They are presumably about the same size as they are in Pikmin, in which Olimar's size makes them appear relatively much larger. | In ''[[zeldawiki:The_Legend_of_Zelda:_The_Minish_Cap|Legend Of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]'' for the Game Boy Advance, Puffstools are enemies that are encountered in a dungeon known as the [[zeldawiki:Deepwood_Shrine|Deepwood Shrine]].
