In {{p1}}, 3 Burrowing Snagrets are found in the same area of [[The Forest of Hope]], one of which contains the [[Geiger Counter]]. One is also found in [[The Final Trial]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], blocked by a black [[bramble gate]].

In {{p2}}, a Burrowing Snagret is the main boss of the [[White Flower Garden]], found on sublevel 5 (this one contains the [[Five-man Napsack]]). Many are encountered throughout the [[Snagret Hole]], with one even near the entrance. On sublevel 3 of the Snagret Hole, one contains the [[Meat Satchel]] and another on sublevel 6 contains the [[Triple Sugar Threat]]. Another is on sublevel 4 of the [[Hole of Heroes]], and yet another guards the [[Pink Menace]] in the [[Valley of Repose]]. Burrowing Snagrets are the most common boss-class enemies in ''Pikmin 2'', having eight different in-game occurrences outside of [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]].

===''Pikmin''===
===Pikmin===
In ''Pikmin'', they are extremely hard to beat without losing Pikmin if [[throw]]n at the head, as they have very high [[health]] and are quite large. Its striking speed will also allow it to eat some Pikmin and burrow back into the ground before any significant damage is done. When trying to defeat it in the first game, the best strategy is to throw Red Pikmin at its head while it's emerging from the ground as fast as you can, then whistling in your Pikmin right before it shakes them off to prevent them being eaten. Another effective, but risky way is to [[swarm]] the head in hopes of making the Burrowing Snagret retreat underground.

Try to run directly to the Snagret closest to the ledge on the side of the ship to avoid the other two Snagrets and collect the [[Geiger Counter]] more easily.

===''Pikmin 2''===
===Pikmin 2===
In ''Pikmin 2'', defeating one is an easier task because of its lower health; even so, it remains a good idea to use [[Purple Pikmin]]. It is easy to take advantage of the fact that sometimes, the beast will not fully emerge from the ground, getting stuck for some time. It is best to attack the Snagret then, as it is possible to defeat it without losing any Pikmin. With quick and accurate throwing, however, this is not necessary to secure the battle. Throw many Pikmin at its head as soon as possible and the Snagret should die before managing to swallow any of the Pikmin that it may have snatched up from the ground. In ''Pikmin 2'', attacks to the body will only cause 10% normal damage. Statistically, both in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', every time the creature emerges it has a 40% chance of getting stuck.<ref>Local Parameter <code>{s10}</code> in <code>/dataDir/bosses/snake/parms.bin</code>, in ''Pikmin''</ref> That said, a Burrowing Snagret will never get stuck the first time of the day that it unburrows, in ''Pikmin''.

In the first two games, if it burrows back underground without swallowing Pikmin it has caught, these Pikmin will die. In the first game, it was the root of many [[Glitches in Pikmin#Counter glitch|glitches involving the counter]].

===''Pikmin 3''===
===Pikmin 3===
In ''Pikmin 3'', the health is even lower, and [[Winged Pikmin]] can be [[charge]]d directly onto its head to defeat it quickly, especially under the effects of an [[ultra-spicy spray]]. The boss can only eat Pikmin on the ground. It is helpful to stay away from its beak, as if it eats a leader, it can take a while to get all your Pikmin back into your squad.

It is not possible to defeat the Burrowing Snagret with [[leader]]s alone.

===''Pikmin 4''===
===Pikmin 4===
In ''Pikmin 4'', it has the same health as in ''Pikmin 3'', but comes out of the ground much slower. The Snagrets head will take a moment to shake its head a bit and then it will come out of the ground. An easy way to beat it is to simply use [[Oatchi]] to rush and attach all of your Pikmin on its head to deal massive damage (if you don't want to use Oatchi or can't, then you can [[charge]] instead). This will either kill it immediately or cause it to immediately retreat underground. Without Oatchi, the Snagret can be beaten the same way as it would be in ''Pikmin 3''.
