The '''Greater Spotted Jellyfloat''' ({{j|オオマンマン|Oo Manman|Giant "Manman"}}) is an enemy in {{p2}}. It is a member of the [[Jellyfloat]] family, and as its name implies, it resembles a large, pinkish version of the [[Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat]]. This species is considerably more rare, as it is alien to the region, but its population is quickly displacing that of its smaller cousin. Greater Spotted Jellyfloats have slightly more [[health]] and can be defeated in the same manner, but can suck up more [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] at once, and even [[leader]] if the player is not careful. It is possible to get out of the Jellyfloat quickly by [[Controls#Button mashing|rapidly rotating]] {{button|gc|stick|wii|stick}}. Likewise, all undigested Pikmin and leaders are returned when it is defeated. [[Throw]]ing [[Purple Pikmin]] will knock it to the ground, where it can be easily killed by [[Group move|swarming]]. Like their lesser cousins, they explode in a flurry of sparkling lights when defeated, but unlike them, they do not emit a song-like sound.

===Nintendo Player's Guide===

"''The Jellyfloat can suck up your Pikmin and pilots, and hold them in its transparent belly. Direct your troops to keep a safe distance from the flying fiend and throw troops at its body. After you defeat a Jellyfloat, you'll have to show for it but the victims you saved.''"

The Greater Spotted Jellyfloat is a large target and therefore can easily be hit with [[Purple Pikmin]]. Just one of them will bring the creature to the ground; 6 Pikmin will be needed, otherwise. Once on the ground, the player should either continue to throw Purple Pikmin at it, provided they have enough, or swarm it with a squad of considerable size. Both ways will ensure a quick defeat.

An alternate method is possible with only leaders. Have the Greater Spotted Jellyfloat absorb one leader, and then switch to the other leader and use an ultra-bitter spray to petrify the Jellyfloat. Switch back to the leader who is currently swallowed, and wiggle the Control Stick to break free. The Jellyfloat will be defeated. It's possible to do this with a single leader by spraying it as he is being sucked in, but this is very difficult.{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/LazyTolerantTurtleBlargNaut|The Devs Thought of Everything|Twitch.tv}}

This Jellyfloat is the largest of the three known Jellyfloats, the others being the [[Flying Spotted Jellyfloat]] and [[Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat]], hence the "Greater" in its name. In Japan, its name is {{j|オオマンマン|Oo Manman}}, or "Giant Manman"; the meaning of "Manman" is unknown. Its scientific name is ''Cephalus vortexia'', where ''vortexia'' refers to how it sucks up Pikmin and leaders with a whirlwind. Internally, the beast is called <code>onikurage</code>, which translates to "ogre jellyfish" ({{j|おにくらげ|oni kurage}}).

==Trivia==

*With the exception of the two in the [[Hole of Heroes#Sublevel 15|Hole of Heroes]], every Greater Spotted Jellyfloat in the game contains a [[treasure]].

*If a Greater Spotted Jellyfloat digests a White Pikmin, it will not take damage from it. This is also the case when a Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat digests a White Pikmin.
