[[File:Emperor Pinchipede NL.png|thumb|300px]]'''Emperor Pinchipede''' is the third major boss encountered in [[Pikmin Adventure]]. Just like the [[Beeb family|Beebs]], it has its own unique family, the Pinchepede family. It bears a resemblance to the [[Armored Mawdad]], a creature in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''.
==Monita's Notes==
The notes are the same for both the European and American version:
{{transcript|This beast's segmented body has plenty of weak points, making it easy to target. However, it will hide them when it is upset. Just don't get too close to its snapping jaws.}}

==Strategy==
 
Emperor Pinchipede is a difficult boss. Its body is divided into 12 segments, each with their own weakpoints. 4 of these segments are larger than the others, and are linked together by 2 smaller segments each, totaling 12. Its head, which is a 13th segment, is equipped with a large pair of sharp mandibles which will instantly kill anyone in their way. It is impossible to stun it, leaving you without your stun strategy.
The '''Emperor Pinchipede''' ({{j|ダイオウハサミムカデ|Daiō Hasami Mukade|Great King Scissors Centipede}}) is the third major boss found in ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. It is a centipede like creature featuring a green side with weak spots and an orange side featuring spikes to take out players. Its separated appearance and mandibles bears a resemblance to the [[Armored Mawdad]].


==Behavior==
As Emperor Pinchipede crawls around the battlefield, its weak points may be openly attacked. However, whenever one of the 4 larger segments is broken off, it will have a mind of its own and slowly move around the stage, spinning wildly with spikes all over it. It is best advised to take out the smaller segments first so the battlefield will be less cluttered.
Once the battle begins, the Emperor Pinchipede will begin to move wildly around its arena, with its mandibles always able to take out any players and Pikmin in its path. After moving around for a little bit, it will eventually hone in on a player before charging straight at them quickly while biting its mandibles. If one of the larger weak spots is destroyed, it will land somewhere in the arena before it flips to its orange side before spikes appear and it starts spinning around the arena.


Once all of the weak points are destroyed, it will enter its second phase, opening an extra weak spot on its head segment. During its second phase, the Emperor Pinchipede will attack exclusively by compacting the body segments together like an accordion before turning onto its orange side and shoots itself across the stage. Once the last weak point is down to half of its health, all but the back most segments will separate and spin around the arena while the Emperor Pinchipede will move about very quickly while biting around the arena. It will not do any other attacks until it is defeated.
[[File:Emperor_Pinchipede_Angry.png|thumb|The Emperor Pinchipede getting enraged (its dangerous sides are colored in orange).]]Occasionally, the boss will cover all of its weakpoints and turn orange, during which it will rampage across the map for a short time before going back to normal. Simply stay out of the way of its mandibles and you will avoid harm.


==Strategy==
After all its weak points are destroyed, it will gain 1 more on its head segment. However, whenever it is in direct line of sight of the player, it will compact his body segments like an accordion, cover its head's weakpoint, and then shoot himself across the stage. During this process, the body weakpoints are also turned over, revealing the spikes, so don't touch the body. After it finishes this attack is when it is best to attack its head.
Once the battle begins, try to attack the smaller weak spots first as they do not spin around the arena after being destroyed unlike the larger weak spots. Due to how quickly the Emperor Pinchipede moves, it is very likely that any Pikmin that are attacking the weak points may be knocked over, so it is advised to whistle them back constantly in order for them to not be attacked by the mandibles.


Once the second phase begins, make sure to throw all of the Pikmin onto the weak spot on the Emperor Pinchipede's head as it is charging its attack as that is the only time to attack it when it isn't attacking. Make sure to dodge the proceeding attack by swiping in the desired direction on the GamePad's touchscreen or by pressing {{button|wii|2}} on the Wiimote. During the last part of the battle, make sure that as many Pikmin survive the enslaught of spinnign segments by whisting them and throwing them onto the weak spot of the now very swift Emperor Pinchipede. Repeat this until the boss is defeated.
After its head weakpoint is damaged down to half of its health, the battle will get faster. Simply repeat the above process to defeat it. Once it is defeated, its head will explode into Nintendo Land Coins.

After defeating Emperor Pinchipede, the player can unlock it as an animated statue in the Nintendo Land plaza. It will only have its head with wheels, however.
