The Shadow in the Brush

The Shadow in the Brush (草むらにひそむ影?, lit.: "The Shadow Lurking in the Grass") is the first boss battle area in Hey! Pikmin, where the player fights against a Bulborb.

Plot[edit]

When the player completes Back-and-Forth Road, a cutscene plays with Captain Olimar inside the S.S. Dolphin. The ship tells him that it detected a massive indigenous creature in the next area, and suggests he be careful. After the treasure is collected and the area is completed, the ship announces it detected a new sector, the Verdant Waterfront, and exclaims how it has a lot of water.

Description[edit]

The starting point of the area only goes a small path ahead until it dips into a room with tall grass in the background. This room is too tall to be escaped, and spans around two and a half screen-widths long.

Cutscenes[edit]

Cutscene Screenshot Trigger Description
Bulborb introduction The Bulborb cutscene in The Shadow in the Brush. The player moves a bit forward after entering the arena. Several Pikmin are seen running away in fear towards Olimar. The camera then focuses on the tall grass, as it rustles with movement, to the sound of large footsteps. Before long, the eyes of a Red Bulborb can be seen above the grass. The creature eventually leaves the grass, comes face-to-face with the Pikmin and Olimar, and growls at them, terrifying the group.
