Enemy: Difference between revisions

Oddly, [[Candypop Buds]], [[Geysers]], and [[Iridescent Flint Beetle|Iridescent Flint Beetles]] are technically bosses, though this is likely due to their unique nature as enemies.

===Mini-Bosses in ''Pikmin''===

There are no mini-bosses in this game, though the Burrowing Snagret and Emperor Bulblax have literally ''mini'' variations with lower HP which appear in places where they aren't fought as final bosses of a cave. Late in the game, earlier bosses are sometimes rebattled and act as mini-bosses of a cave, such as in [[Hole of Heroes]]. Additionally, the [[Fiery Bulblax]], which may have originally been [[Piklopedia#Trivia|intended as a boss]], could be considered a mini-boss by fans as it is a relatively difficult enemy.

In ''Pikmin 3'', the six main bosses are clearly labeled by the game, and their battles are considerably more complex than with most other enemies. These bosses can be re-fought in special [[Mission Mode]] stages. They normally have clearly define vulnerability and invulnerability phases, commonly attacking during the latter.

===Mini-Bosses in ''Pikmin 3''===

Mini-bosses appear in ''Pikmin 3'', distinguished by a different music theme. In story mode, these do not give out something plot-critical when defeated, and instead drop a [[fruit]] . Main bosses will not restore their [[health]] as the days go by, and their corpses will also last until the next day, but not any longer. Both of these fact do not apply for the mini-bosses, however.
