==Red Bulborb==
[[File:Bulborb NL.png|thumb|A Bulborb as seen in the ''Nintendo Land'' Plaza.]]
'''Red Bulborbs''' (officially known as '''Bulborbs''') are the most common Bulborb in ''Pikmin Adventure'', and are battled in almost every level. They are usually small, but larger ones can be found occasionally.

===Strategy===
[[File:Bulborb NL.png|thumb|225px|The Bulborb [[Pikmin Adventure prizes|statue]] in the ''Nintendo Land'' Plaza.]]
Red Bulborbs are amongst the easiest to kill of all the enemies in ''Pikmin Adventure''. When awakened, they dash in a straight line towards their target. They are easy to dodge, but should they grab a player, they will do one of two things: They will either swing the player around, tossing them far away, or they will toss the player into the air, eat them, and turn them into droppings, making it impossible for them to be whistled at or for them to attack. In this state, players must be broken out by Olimar or other Pikmin.


The '''Bulborb''' ({{j|チャッピー|Chappī|Chappy}}) is the most common Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure'', being found in almost every level. It bears a resemblance to the [[Bulborb]] from the [[Pikmin series|main ''Pikmin'' series]], featuring three large white spots on its sides, large stalkless eyes that turn red when attacking, screws connecting the mouth to the main body, two small spots and a hole on its back to expel [[Pikmin Adventure prizes#Bulborb Dropping|Bulborb Droppings]], and lacks any legs connecting the body to the feet. The average Bulborb is slightly larger than the player, but there are larger and smaller Bulborbs that can be found in certain areas.
The only weak spot Red Bulborbs have are their backs which, due to their quick speed and jumpy movements, make them somewhat challenging for one to hit. It is best advised that players controlling Pikmin attack these enemies to take them down swiftly without any damage.


=== Behavior ===
===Monita's notes===
The Bulborb can be found either sleeping or being sent into the area by a gashapon capsule before it starts walking towards a player. It has two walking speeds, a slow walk and a slightly faster walk that is replaced by an attack once the Bulborb is close to a player. Alongside this is a small hop that it can do to avoid attacks and quickly get close to players. Once the Bulborb is close enough to a player, it will either charge a dash in a straight line or attempt to eat a player depending on how far they are to the Bulborb. If the Bublorb is able to catch a player, it will toss them up, eat them, and turn them into a Bulborb Dropping, making it impossible for them to be properly whistled at or attack enemies. In this state, the player must be broken out either by Olimar or other Pikmin damaging the Bulborb Dropping or by entering a body of [[water]]. If the Bulborb is defeated while a player is bring eaten, the player will be sent flying out of its mouth.

The only weak spot the Bulborb has is on its back, making it easy to throw Pikmin at or directly attack it. The Bulborb will try to shake off all of the Pikmin that are on its weak spot, causing them to be knocked over for a little bit. There are ways to circumvent the Bulborb's movement and shaking, however, either by waiting for it to slowly walk around, move out of its sight to make it look for any other players in sight, or wait for it to start panting. These are the ideal times to attack the Bulborb since it won't be able to shake off the Pikmin on its back until after it starts trying to move.

{{title|Yellow Bulborb}}
[[File:Yellow Bulborb NL.png|thumb|A Yellow Bulborb ready to attack the Blue Pikmin player.]]
 
'''Yellow Bulborbs''' are another class of mechanical Bulborbs fought in ''Pikmin Adventure'', and act as the first mini-boss in the attraction. These ones, in particular, are mechanized versions of the [[Yellow Bulborb]]s seen in [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information|early footage of ''Pikmin 2'']]. Yellow Bulborbs are usually larger than the Red Bulborbs.
[[File:Yellow Bulborb NL.png|thumb|225px|A Yellow Bulborb ready to attack a Mii Blue Pikmin player.]]
 
{{otheruses|the enemy in ''Pikmin Adventure''|the unused enemy|Pikmin 2 prerelease information#Early bulborbs}}
 
The '''Yellow Bulborb''' is a common Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure'', and acts as the first mini-boss in the attraction. It is almost identical to the [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#Bulborb|Bulborb]] in appearance, but is colored yellow instead of red or green. Much like the red Bulborb, the Yellow Bulborb is typically found slightly larger than players but larger ones can be encountered in certain areas.
 
=== Behavior ===
The Yellow Bulborb, unlike other Bulborb variants, does not charge at far away players, instead, it shoots out a projectile to harm the player. On top of this, the Yellow Bulborb will hop around often to dodge attacks and get close to eat players.


The Yellow Bulborb can either spew orbs of water that ensnare players, rendering them helpless until they are freed, or a [[Pikmin Adventure prizes#Spike Ball|spike ball]], which will take out a player that gets hit by it. If a player is trapped in a water bubble, they have to be freed by having other Olimar or orher Pikmin attack them, similar to the Bulborb Dropping.
===Strategy===
To defeat Yellow Bulborbs, the player can either attack the weak spots on its sides, or, in the smaller variation, attack the weak spot on its head.


=== Strategy ===
Yellow Bulborbs, in addition to their basic melee biting attack, are capable of spewing orbs of water that ensnare players, rendering them helpless and useless until they are freed, or a Spike Ball, which damages you if hit. If a player is trapped in a water bubble, they can be freed by having other Pikmin attack them. Unlike other Bulborbs, Yellow Bulborbs have the ability to charge at players which will instantly kill smaller Pikmin and damage larger ones. They have difficulty changing direction while charging, however, so this attack isn't too difficult to avoid.
Due to being a variant of the Bulborb, it has a very similar method to defeat it. It will not shake off Pikmin when it is panting or when it is shooting projectiles, meaning they are good times to attack if the players are able to avoid the projectile.

[[File:Green Bulborb PA.png|thumb|178px|A sleeping Green Bulborb.]]
[[File:Green Bulborb PA.png|thumb|225px|A sleeping Green Bulborb.]]
'''Green Bulborbs''' are semi-common foes encountered in ''Pikmin Adventure'', and are larger than most Bulborbs. They usually appear in enclosed areas, requiring the player to manually break them out, or in dark areas, requiring the player to use the nearby [[Common Glowcap#Pikmin Adventure|Glowing Mushroom]] to upgrade their light source.
 
The '''Green Bulborb''' is a semi-common Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It is nearly identical to the [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#Bulborb|Bulborb]] in appearance, except it is green instead of red or yellow. It often appears in groups, requiring players to either take on a small group of them, or in some cases, simply run away from them.
 
=== Behavior ===
The Green Bulborb, unlike the other Bulborb variants, can only charge at the players on sight and has no other methods of attack, but it can target the player when charging. Once it finishes a charge, it will start panting for a short amount of time.


=== Strategy ===
===Strategy===
Because the Green Bulborb starts panting after charging, it is very easy to attack it when it isn't charging. When the Green Bulborb is charging however, it is advised to run away because the homing charge makies it difficult to attack without getting hit by it. If possible, one should try to lure charging the Green Bulborb into a [[pit]] or a small area to attack them from a safe area.
Green Bulborbs are larger than other Bulborbs, but they can follow the player when charging, unlike the Red Bulborbs, which travel in a straight line. It should be noted, however, that Green Bulborbs usually appear with bombs or boulders available near them, so it would be advised that if you are low on hearts, to simply take them out with bombs before they wake up.

==Bilious Bulborb==
==Bilious Bulborb==
[[File:Bilious Bulborb NL.png|thumb|225px|The Bilious Bulborb [[Pikmin Adventure prizes|statue]] in the ''Nintendo Land'' Plaza.]]
[[File:Bilious Bulborb NL.png|thumb|A Bilious Bulborb as seen in the ''Nintendo Land'' Plaza.]]
The '''Bilious Bulborb''' is the largest of all the common mechanical Bulborbs found throughout ''Pikmin Adventure'', and is the second mini-boss the player fights. Its eyes and color make it resemble the [[Orange Bulborb]]. They have smaller spots than other Bulborbs, so it is suggested that they may not be a member of the [[Grub-dog family]]


The '''Bilious Bulborb''' ({{j|テンテンチャッピー|Tenten Chappī|[[Orange Bulborb|Restless Chappy]]}}) is the rarest non-boss Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure'', and is the seventh mini-boss the player fights. Its thinner eyes and orange color scheme resembles that of the [[Orange Bulborb]]. It has smaller spots than the other Bulborb variants, so it is suggested by Monita that it may not be a Bulborb subspecies.
===Strategy===
Upon entering its arena, the mechanical beast will awaken and the battle will begin with a roar. Rather than charging the player like most enemies do, the Bilious Bulborb will instead stand in place and shoot [[Spike Ball]]s out of its mouth. The best way to defeat this creature is with multiple players, as getting behind it is difficult with one person alone. Have the player controlling Olimar run around so the other Mii Pikmin can get to the weak-points dotting its back. Once the mini-boss has taken enough damage, it will enrage and get faster, and will be quicker to shake off Pikmin. Fortunately, the arena may have rocks at its edges. If it does, Olimar or the Pikmin can pick these up to throw at the boss. If the rocks hit the creature on a weak-point or directly on its face, it will be dazed for a few seconds. If utilized properly, the rocks can turn the tide in a losing battle and save the player.


=== Behavior ===
===Monita's Notes===
The Bilious Bulborb shares most of the attacks that are used by the three standard Bulborb variants. It can shoot out [[Pikmin Adventure prizes#Spike Ball|spike balls]] and water like the Yellow Bulborb, except it shoots out 6 spike balls in different directions. It also charges in a straight line and pants afterwards like the red and green Bulborbs respectively.

{{EU}}: {{transcript|The different-sized spots suggest that these may not be a true subspecies of Bulborb at all. ◆ Or perhaps they're just normal Bulborbs feeling a little under the weather.}}
The best way to defeat the Bilious Bulborb is with multiple players. Have the Mii Olimar player run around it so the other Mii Pikmin can get to the weak-points dotting its back. If the arena has rocks or bombs nearby, Olimar or the Pikmin can pick them up to throw them at the Bilious Bulborb. If the rocks hit the creature on a weak-point or directly on its face, it will be stunned for a few seconds. If the bombs land close enough to the Bilious Bulborb, it can deal massive damage to all the weak spots at once. If utilized properly, the rocks and bombs can turn the tide in a losing battle and defeat the Bilious Bulborb.

==Creepy Beeb==
==Creepy Beeb==
[[File:PA Creepy Beeb Statue.png|thumb|225px|The Creepy Beeb [[Pikmin Adventure prizes|statue]] in the ''Nintendo Land'' Plaza.]]
[[File:Creepy Beeb NL.png|thumb|Four Creepy Beebs.]]
 
'''Creepy Beebs''' (known as '''Worker Baubs''' in the European version) are the smallest enemies found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. They are unique in the sense that they are listed as belonging to the "Beeb family" (known as the '''Soplouse family in the European version'''), a family that is not listed in the current ''Pikmin'' series. They resemble small purple orbs with four legs, two large, stalked eyes, and an antenna coming out from the tops of their heads.
The '''Creepy Beeb''' ({{j|ザコワラジ|Zako Waraji|Small Fry Woodlouse}}; known as the '''Worker Baub''' in the European version) is the most common enemy found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. The standard appearance features a purple orb with four flexible yellow legs with black feet, stalked googly eyes, and a yellow and green antenna coming out of the top of its head. There is also a variant that features blue legs and yellow feet like the [[King Beeb]], with the main design difference being a ring around the yellow tip of the antenna.
 
=== Behavior ===
When it is not attacking players, the Creepy Beeb will walk towards a player even if they are far from its spawning point. The Creepy Beeb attacks by rolling forward a short distance that can take out a player.


=== Strategy ===
===Strategy===
The Creepy Beeb is the easiest enemy to kill in '''Pikmin Adventure''', as it can die in one direct hit and get weighed down by a single Pikmin due to its entire body being a single weak-point. It only rolls forward a little bit, so avoiding its attack is very simple. Some Creepy Beebs take slightly more hits to kill, but are still very simple to get rid of as they still function identically to the small ones.
Creepy Beebs come in various sizes: small and medium, which are easy to kill, and larger, more dangerous ones. They all attack by flashing a yellow color, and rolling forward. Small individuals are the easiest to kill, as their entire body is a single weak-point and they don't have a lot of health. They only roll forward a tiny bit, so avoiding their attack is very simple. Medium Beebs take a few hits to kill, but are still very simple to get rid of; their attacks are the same as the small ones. Large Beebs curl up into a ball to roll around continuously, crushing anything in their path. These types must be attacked when they are not rolling, but the player can also use rocks and bombs if available to stop them from rolling and daze them. They have a lot more health than small and medium Creepy Beebs.

[[File:Bombardier Beeb NL.png|thumb|Four Bombardier Beebs ready to blow up.]]
'''Bombardier Beebs''' (known as '''Bombardier Baubs''' in the European version) are one of the rarer enemies seen in ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. They are a variant of the common Beeb enemy that explodes after a few seconds of being spotted, making them similar to [[Volatile Dweevil]]s in means of attack.


The '''Bombardier Beeb''' ({{j|サクレワラジ|Sakure Waraji|Bursting Woodlouse}}; known as the '''Bombardier Baub''' in the European version) is one of the rarer enemies in ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. It is a variant of the [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#Creepy Beeb|Creepy Beeb]] that explodes after a few seconds of spotting a player. It has a number of common characteristics with the Creepy Beeb including black feet and stalked googly eyes, but it also has a few major design differences as well including rivets on its sides and a fuse in place of an antenna.
===Strategy===
Bombardier Beebs are the size of a large Creepy Beeb. Upon spotting a player, they will activate a fuse on their heads and chase them. After about 5 seconds, they will stand in place and panic for a moment before exploding, causing a shock wave that will damage nearby enemies in a short range, and will easily take out nearby destructible blocks.


=== Behavior ===
Bombardier Beebs can be used to the players' advantage to destroy enemies and obstacles, but one must be careful to not allow themselves to get caught in a corner, or the Bombardier Beeb will trap them and they will get engulfed in the explosion.
Upon spotting a player, the Bombardier Beeb will activate the fuse on its head and chase after them. After about 5 seconds, it will stand in place and panic for a second before [[Explosion#In Pikmin Adventure|exploding]], causing an explosion that can damage nearby players, enemies, and destructible blocks similar to standard bombs.


=== Strategy ===
===Monita's Notes===
It is not recommended to attack the Bombardier Beeb directly because of the short time it takes before exploding compared to the high amount of health it often has. Instead, the Bombardier Beeb can be used to the players' advantage to destroy other enemies and obstacles, but they must be careful to not get caught in the blast radius, or else they will be engulfed and taken out in the explosion.

== Blowhog ==
==Blowhog==
[[File:PA Blowhog Statue.png|225|thumb|The Blowhog [[Pikmin Adventure prizes|statue]] in the ''Nintendo Land'' Plaza.]]
[[File:Blowhog NL.png|thumb|A Blowhog in ''Pikmin Adventure''.]]
'''Blowhogs''' (known as '''Puffy Blowhogs''' in the European version) are quite rare enemies the player encounters in ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. They attack by changing their snout from an opening to a needle, and charging at the players. The player will first meet them in the level Burst the Giant Balloon.


The '''Blowhog''' ({{j|フーセンドックリ|Fūsen Dokkuri|Balloon Tokkuri}}; known as the '''[[Puffy Blowhog]]''' in the European version) is an uncommon enemy that appears in ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. It is a purple orb with a blue snout that is lifted by a propellor and features eyes that are often covered up by its eyelids almost always being nearly closed.
===Strategy===
Blowhogs, while they look like [[Withering Blowhog]]s, have a completely different method of attacking. Instead of blowing air at Pikmin, they turn their snout into a spike and try to ram the players head-on.


=== Behavior ===
Their entire body is a weak point, making attacking them somewhat easier then with most enemies. However, they are small and usually hover over pits, making it difficult to throw Pikmin at them. Sometimes they will float over solid ground to combat the player, so it is best to kill them then.
The Blowhog is usually found hovering still and looking in one direction. Once it sees a player the Blowhog will start to move towards them until it gets close enough to the player and turns its snout into a spike and tries to ram the players head-on in a straight line.


=== Strategy ===
===Monita's Notes===
Since the Blowhog's entire body is a weak point similar to the [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#Creepy Beeb|Creepy Beeb]], attacking it is easier than most enemies. However, it is very mobile, making precision in throwing difficult, and it usually hovers over [[pit]]s, making it difficult to throw Pikmin at it without losing them. The player can either attack it from afar with a [[Whip Seed]] or try to lure it over solid ground in order to safely take it out.

'''Telescoping Pumphogs''' are enemies that appear after the player defeats the [[Bulblord]]. Some are completely stationary and are difficult to kill when they charge up for an attack. Others delve underground and pop back up to shoot projectiles. Their name suggests they are related to [[Blowhogs]].


The '''Telescoping Pumphog''' ({{j|ポンプドックリ|Ponpu Dokkuri|Pump Tokkuri}}) is a common enemy found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. Its face bears a resemblance to the [[Fiery Blowhog]], sharing very similar eyes and snout, but is otherwise very different, being a stationary tower that can pump out projectiles.
===Strategy===
Telescoping Pumphogs are usually found guarding a portal to the level's next area or simply barricading an important path. When stationary, they sit about, facing a set direction. When the player comes into range, they will rise up, revealing their inflatable accordian-like under-segment. They then push down, which fires out a projectile from their snouts. This projectile is usually a [[Spike Ball]], but there are variants fought in later levels who can shoot bombs or, in even rarer cases, homing missiles.


=== Behavior ===
Their weak-spot is located directly on their head, making it hard to hit when they rise up to charge their attack. However, when they are on the ground, right after attacking, they are completely vulnerable, so it is advised to attack them then.
Most Telescoping Pumphogs are completely stationary and are unable to do much of anything other than shoot projectiles while a few others can delve underground and pop back up to shoot projectiles and temporarily avoid damage from players.


When it is stationary, the Telescoping Pumphog sits about, facing a set direction. When it notices a player, it will start rising up, revealing its tube-like under-segment which inflates. It will then push down, which fires out a projectile from its snout. This projectile is usually a [[Pikmin Adventure prizes#Spike Ball|spike ball]], but there are a few variants that shoot out bombs and [[water]].
It should be noted, however, that some variants of this enemy do not have a weak-point at all, making them the only enemy in ''Pikmin Adventure'' that is completely invincible. If you come across this type, simply destroy all the surrounding enemies to advance to the rest of the level, while avoiding the indestructible Pumphog.

===Monita's Notes===
The Telescoping Pumphog's weak-spot is located directly on its head, making it hard to attack when it rises up to charge its attack. However, when it is on the ground, right after attacking, it is extremely vulnerable, so it is advised to attack them then.

It should be noted, however, that some variants of the Telescoping Pumphog do not have a weak-point at all, making it the only enemy in ''Pikmin Adventure'' that is completely invincible. If a player comes across this variant, their only option is to advance to the next part of the level quickly while avoiding the indestructible Pumphog's projectiles.
