Editing Talk:Emperor Bulblax

==difficult==
This was supposed to be a really hard boss in the first Pikmin game, but I never finished it so what do I know?[[User:Pikdude|Pikdude]] 22:13, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Whoever edited this article so that it included attacks, please don't do that. The attacks are in the blue section.[[User:Pikdude|<span style="color:blue">Pik</span>]][[User talk:Pikdude|<span style="color:green">dude</span>]][[File:P2 Louie Front View Clay Artwork.png|30px]] 22:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

== Stun ==

Actually, I do have the feeling that it stuns him longer when the explosions only touch the tounge, as unlikely it may seem. I'll try this in a while.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}} 10:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to attempt to see how many bomb rocks it takes to kill this glutton, then see the loser eat all the rocks at once. {{User:EvilLouie13/sig.}}

==Images==
Five new images were just added to the page. Do we really need them all? {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

Yes! These new images are better than the ones that were here previously. They aren't as subdued and basically show you exactly how the emperor should be defeated. [[User:Portal-Kombat|<span style="color:blue">Portal-</span>]][[User_talk:Portal-Kombat|<span style="color:orange">Kombat</span>]]

They are better Quality, and We could remove some of the old ones, now we just need a better quality Pikmin 2 one. Did you see the Youtube Video? {{User:Killerbreadbug72/sig}}

Is that better? The placement of the images looks more formated now. {{User:Killerbreadbug72/sig}}

:Ehhhh... needs work
:@JJ: No we don't... {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}

::We don't exactly need an image for every single step of the battle. One displaying him is enough.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

:::The ugliest enemy needs one picture give or take... {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}

==Physiology==
Who deleted it?!? {{User:Killerbreadbug72/sig}}

Well apparently there weren't enough people for physiology. I saw the vid. Personally I prefer attacking it without stunning it. Just more epic and challenging that way.

==Notes==
Green, I recall us reaching an agreement not to add them, but I wasn't really sure what do do here. Actually, you know, didn't we just make an Olimar's Journal article? {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

:Exactly: so should they be there, or on enemy pages? It's not like every Pikmin 1 enemy has journal notes anyway, so seems strange to have them on their pages as they'll only be on some.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::I think we should keep them all in the Journal article. We can take whatever information from them that isn't already mentioned on the enemies pages and add it, but yeah, I don't think we need a whole section for the notes. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

==Blaxcaps?==
Is this Prima too? Same applies as at [[talk:gate]] then.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

Probably. It hasn't been confirmed by Nintendo, so it shouldn't be there.Although, what else can we call them? Maybe we'll find out in Pikmin 3, what they are, if the big bulblax is in the game.Also I read the trivia and it DOES resemble a frog in behaviour and slightly appearence.--[[User:BeatOli|BeatOli]] 17:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[[File:Funny-1.gif]]

== Olimar's Notes ==

What does Olimar mean when he says that individuals who don't participate in reproduction undergo sex change? [[User:White Radish|White Radish]] 12:52, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

:You mean the notes on the [[Empress Bulblax]], right? It means that males who aren't involved in mating will actually become females through a natural biological process. Sounds strange, but many species of tropical fish can do the same thing. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 13:15, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

What kinds of fish? Because I need to know if I'm eating a transvestite fish at Long John Silver's.Redradish 12:49, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

No, wierd would be anyone who reads this going to Long John Silver's and eating ever again.Redradish 12:46, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

They take out the... parts ''before'' serving the fish, genius. And by then, you don't need to worry.[[User:Pikdude|<span style="color:blue">Pik</span>]][[User talk:Pikdude|<span style="color:green">dude</span>]][[File:200px-Mario you phail.gif|50px]] 20:01, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Frogs actually do that too

This is... odd. You know, for some of us being uncool nerds, we are a lot more civilized than any football player I know. And yes, some fish do that. Not Cod, however, so you are safe at LJS.

==Amount a bulblax can chew in pikmin 1==

I was messing around in pikmin 1 and decided to see how much the bulblax could get in one gulp. I looked at the wiki and it said only 30-40 pikmin. That is NOT what I got. When that guy ate my pikmin he ate exactly 87 of them. Then squished the rest of them. I'd like to change the number but I want to have other people try this and see if they get around the same results. Please note that this is the first pikmin game and if no one one replies then I will edit thte article. [[User:Banjobug|Banjobug]] 22:13, May 11, 2010 (UTC)Banjobug

:Are you sure there was no crushing glitch or bomb-rock explosion? {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

::All I did was go into his den. Wake him up. Go back. Get my 100 red pikmin. Go back into the den and put the pikmin right in front of his tongue.[[User:Banjobug|Banjobug]] 16:03, May 15, 2010 (UTC)Banjobug

==Hunts by eyesight==

If you as a captain go underneath the emperor bulblax it will move its head from side to side trying to look for you and starts to move off. It doesn't even do a jump attack. I believe because of this that it hunts by eyesight.

:No. Remember how it comes out of the ground as soon as you touch him? I think it's by both eyesight and touch. {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

== Easy Way to Beat Him. ==

Note this is NPC, not the original (it could work, but I don't know). I thought maybe this should be added if it works.

Get your pikmin around the back of the arena before waking him up. Make sure they are out of arena and onto the grass turf. Now, you just watch the Bulblax and wait for a good moment to throw a [[Yellow Pikmin]] into the arena to throw a bomb-rock at him. When he is knocked out, rush in and throw as many [[Red Pikmin]] as possible onto his face and leave when he wakes up. You are completely sheltered from his attacks (tongue attack works if he is ''right'' in front of you, but otherwise you are completely safe). This makes it only a matter of time, and it is easy to accomplish zero-death runs this way. 

Note that the music switches between dramatic pipe organ music and cheerful music a lot when doing this. [[User:Peach Bulborb|I am Peach Bulborb, and I approve all Grub-Dogs!]] ([[User talk:Peach Bulborb|talk]]) 14:16, 25 October 2013 (EDT)

== Size ==

in pikmin 2, the bulblax on the bulblax kingdom's final floor is bigger than other bulblax. Please confirm. [[File:White Pikmin HD.png|40px]][[User:Super-toad 65|<span style="color:DarkOrange">Super-</span>]][[User Talk:Super-toad 65|<span style="color:blue">toad 65</span>]][[File:Pink flower.png]] 04:20, 8 March 2016 (EST)

If you're asking that because you saw it in-game and you need somebody else to confirm it, then yes, it's bigger. The Pikmin 2 strategy section already says that the Emperor Bulblax at the Bulblax Kingdom is larger than normal. If you're asking because you read the wiki and want somebody to confirm that it's true, check out the technical information section on the article. This enemy has a parameter for what its size (scale) should be on the Bulblax Kingdom. 1.0 is normal size, 1.5 is a fair bit larger. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 06:30, 8 March 2016 (EST)

== Respawn? ==

Curious to know whether or not the Emperor respawns in ''Pikmin'' 1. Most enemies do, after a period of days, and it wouldn't ordinarily come up for most players considering it drops the final part and there's no reason to stick around to see if it does respawn... but I ''am'' quite curious. Anyone doing a less-than-9-day-run challenge, could you test to see if it respawns by Day 30? --

:I beat it on [[day]] 17, and then went to sunset until day 22, and it didin't respawn. Note that i was on {{p1s}} if that matters. [[User:Mama09001|Mama09001]] ([[User talk:Mama09001|talk]]) 09:34, June 12, 2024 (EDT)
