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 has two walking speeds, a slow walk and a slightly faster walk that is replaced by an attack once the Bulborb is close to the players. 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 try 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 [[Pikmin Adventure prizes#Bulborb Dropping|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 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 a player 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. | ||

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 Bulborb, the Yellow Bulborb is typically found slightly larger than players but larger ones are slightly more common to encounter in the challenges. | |||

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. | 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.

Have the 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. | ||
