The '''Bulborb''' is the most common Bulborb color variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure'', and is found in almost every level. The small variant is the most common one found, but there are larger ones that are found in certain areas.
The '''Bulborb''' 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|mainline ''Pikmin'' games]], featuring three large white spots on its sides, large stalkless eyes that turn red when attacking, screws connecting the mouth to the main body, 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 bigger than the players, but there are larger Bulborbs found in certain areas.
 
===Behavior===
The Bulborb can be found either sleeping or being sent into the area by a gashapon capsule before it starts walking towards the player. It has three walking speeds, a slow walk, a slightly faster walk that is replaced by an attack once the Bulborb is close to the players, and a small hop that helps close the gap between thte Bulborb and the 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 Bulborb Dropping, making it impossible for them to be whistled at or attack enemies. In this state, the player must be broken out by Olimar or other Pikmin. If the Bulborb is defeated while a player is bring eaten, the player will be sent flying out of its mouth.


===Strategy===
===Strategy===
The Bulborb is one of the easiest enemies to kill in ''Pikmin Adventure''. When it sees a player, it either charges a dash in a straight line or tries to eat players close to it. It is easy to dodge its charge, but can cause a knockout if the player isn't careful. 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 whistled at or attack enemies. In this state, the player must be broken out by Olimar or other Pikmin.
The Bulborb is one of the easiest enemies to defeat in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It is easy to dodge its charge, but can take out a player if they aren't careful. The only weak spot the Bulborb has is on its back. The Bulborb will try to shake off 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 do its slow walk, move out of its sight while it is attacking, 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 only weak spot the Red Bulborb has is on its back which, due to its quick speed and jumpy movements, makes it somewhat challenging for one to hit. On top of this, the Bulborb will also try to shake off Pikmin currently 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 moving out of its sight while it is biting or wait for it to start panting. These are the prime 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. The Yellow Bulborb is first encountered large, but smaller versions are also commonly encountered.
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 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 than standard large Bulborbs.


===Strategy===
===Behavior===
The Yellow Bulborb unlike other Bulborb varients, does not charge at far away players, instead opting for shooting a projectile to attack the player with. On top of this the Yellow Bulborb hops around often to get closer to the player and dodge Pikmin thrown at it.

The Yellow Bulborb can 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 knock 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 Pikmin attack them, similar to Bulborb Droppings.

===Strategy===
Due to being a variant of the standard 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, being a good time to attack if the projectile misses all players.

The '''Green Bulborb''' is a semi-common Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It usually appears in groups, requiring players to either take on a small group or in some cases, simply run away from them.
The '''Green Bulborb''' is a semi-common Bulborb variant found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It is nearly identical to the Bulborb in appearance, except it is green instead of red or yellow. It usually 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 follow the player when charging, unlike the other Bulborb variants. Once it finishes a charge, it will start panting for a short amount of time..


===Strategy===
===Strategy===
The Green Bulborb unlike other Bulborb variants, can only charge at the player on sight and has no other attacks, but it can follow the player when charging, unlike the Red Bulborb, which only travels in a straight line. Once it finishes a charge, it will start panting, being a great time to attack ot like other Bulborbs. It should be noted, however, that Green Bulborbs are usually spawned near bombs, [[Pikmin Adventure prizes#Rock|rocks]], or a [[bottomless pit]] available near them, so it would be advised that if the player is low on hearts, to simply take them out with bombs and rocks from afar or lure them into pits.
Because of the fact that the Green Bulborb starts panting after charging, it is very easy to deal with it when it isn't charging. When the Green Bulborb is charging however, it is advised to run away from it because of the homing charge making 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 deal with them from a safe area.

The '''Bilious Bulborb''' is the rarest standard variant of Bulborb found in ''Pikmin Adventure'', and is the second mini-boss the player fights. Its eyes and colors resembles that of the Orange Bulborb from ''Pikmin 2''. It has smaller spots than other Bulborbs, so it is suggested by Monita that it may not be part of the Bulborb subspecies.
The '''Bilious Bulborb''' is the rarest standard 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 other Bulborb variants, so it is suggested by Monita that it may not be a Bulborb subspecies.
 
===Behavior===
The Bilious Bulborb shares most of the attacks that are used by the three standard Bulborb variants. It can shoot out 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.


===Strategy===
===Strategy===
Rather than charging at the player on sight like most other Bulborbs do, the Bilious Bulborb will instead stand in place and shoot [[Spike Ball]]s or water out of its mouth. It will still sometimes charge at players however. The best way to defeat the Bilious Bulborb is with multiple players. Have the Olimar player run around it so the other Mii Pikmin can get to the weak-points dotting its back. Fortunately, the arena may have rocks at its edges. If it does, 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 utilized properly, the rocks can turn the tide in a losing battle and save the players.

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.

The '''Creepy Beeb''' (known as the '''Worker Baub''' in the European version of ''Pikmin Adventure'') is the most common enemy found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It is a purple orb with four flexible legs with black feet, stalked googly eyes, and an antenna coming out of the top of its head.
The '''Creepy Beeb''' (known as the '''Worker Baub''' in the European version of ''Pikmin Adventure'') 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]], but also features a ring around the yellow tip of its antenna.


{{clear}}
===Behavior===
When it is not attacking players, the Creepy Beeb will try to move towards the player even if they are away from its spawning point. The Creepy Beeb attacks by rolling forward a short distance that can take out careless players.


===Strategy===
===Strategy===
The Creepy Beeb comes in various sizes: small, easy-to-kill Beebs that appear often, medium, still easy-to-kill Beebs usually found in more dangerous groups, and large Beebs that bears a striking resemblance to the [[King Beeb]]. The Creepy Beeb attacks by rolling forward a short distance that can take out careless players. The smaller Beebs are the easiest enemies to kill, as they can die in one direct hit and get weighed down by a single Pikmin due to their entire body being a single weak-point. It only rolls forward a little bit, so avoiding its attack is very simple. The larger Beebs take slightly more hits to kill, but are still very simple to get rid of as their attacks are the same as the small ones.

The larger ones curl up into a ball to roll around continuously, crushing anything in their path. These types must be attacked when they are not rolling, or 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 the small and medium Creepy Beebs.

The '''Bombardier Beeb''' (known as the '''Bombardier Baub''' in the European version of ''Pikmin Adventure'') is one of the rarer enemies seen in ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. It is a variant of the Creepy Beeb that explodes after a few seconds of spotting a player. It has a number of common characteristics to the Creepy Beeb with the black feet and googly eyes, but it also has a few major differences as well including rivets on its sides and a fuze in place of an antenna.

===Strategy===
===Behavior===
Upon spotting a player, the Bombradier Beeb will activate the fuse on its head and chase them. After about 5 seconds, it will stand in place and panic for a second before exploding, causing an explosion that will damage nearby players, enemies, and destructible blocks similar to standard bombs.

The Bombardier Beeb can be used to the players' advantage to destroy enemies and obstacles, but one must be careful to not get caught in the blast radius, or else they will be engulfed in the explosion.
===Strategy===
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 in the explosion.

The '''Blowhog''' (known as the '''Puffy Blowhog''' in the European version of ''Pikmin Adventure'') is a rare enemy that appear in [[Pikmin Adventure]]'s later levels. They attack by charging a needle from their snouts before proceeding to charge at the players.  
The '''Blowhog''' (known as the '''Puffy Blowhog''' in the European version of ''Pikmin Adventure'') is a rare enemy that appears in [[Pikmin Adventure]]'s later levels. 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.
 
===Behavior===
Instead of blowing from its snout at Pikmin like other Blowhogs, the Blowhog turns its snout into a spike and tries to ram the players head-on in a straight line.


===Strategy===
===Strategy===
Instead of blowing air at Pikmin like traditional Blowhogs, the Blowhog turns its snout into a spike and tries to ram the players head-on.
Since the Blowhog's entire body is a weak point similar to the Creepy Beeb, attacking it is easier then with most enemies. However, it is very mobile, making precision in throwing slightly difficult, and it usually hovers over [[pits]], making it difficult to throw Pikmin at it without losing them. The player can either attack them from afar with a [[Whip Seed]] or try to lure it over solid ground to minimize losses.

The '''Telescoping Pumphog''' is a common enemy found in ''Pikmin Adventure'' Some are completely stationary and are easy to kill. Others delve underground and pop back up to shoot projectiles. It bears a resemblance to the [[Fiery Blowhog]] found in the [[Pikmin Series]]. When she was younger, [[Monita]] called them "Huffy Puffers", which spoofs the sentence "{{w|The Three Little Pigs|I'll huff, and I’ll puff and, I’ll blow your house down!}}" in folklore.
The '''Telescoping Pumphog''' 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.
 
===Behavior===
Most Telescoping Pumphogs are completely stationary and are unable to do much other than shoot projectiles while 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 [[Spike Ball]], but there are a few variants that shoot bombs and water.

===Strategy===
The Telescoping Pumphog is usually found guarding a [[Draft Jumper]] to the level's next area or simply barricading an important path. When stationary, they sit about, facing a set direction. When it notices a player, it will rise up, revealing its tube-like under-segment which inflates. They then push down, which fires out a projectile from their snouts. This projectile is usually a [[Spike Ball]], but there are a few variants that shoot bombs, water, and in rare cases, homing missiles.
The Telescoping Pumphog's weak-spot is located directly on its head, making it hard to hit 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 has to come across this variant, their only option is to advance to the next part of the level quickly while avoiding the indestructible Pumphog's projectiles.

==Attacks==
The King Beeb attacks in a similar manner to the [[Pikmin_Adventure_enemies#Creepy_Beeb|Creepy Beeb]], only on a much larger scale.  It will roll around the arena for an extended amount of time, trying to crush Olimar and the Pikmin.
==Strategy==
Upon noticing the player, the King Beeb will slowly wander about before flashing yellow and curling up into a ball. The King Beeb rolls around faster than normal Beebs so it is advised that the player takes advantage of their ability to jump by flicking the Gamepad's screen in order to avoid being crushed. Some arenas are shaped like an octogon, so running from corner-to-corner while he is rolling around is the best solution to avoid being crushed.
Sometimes, there will be bombs and rocks available. These are good to use against it during its rolling attack. While it is possible to stun the King Beeb,  there is also a chance that a successful rock throw will not stun it. The King Beeb's major design flaw is that it is just an enlarged Beeb, meaning his still shares their trait of having his entire body be a weakpoint. As long as it is not rolling, it will be completely vulnerable.

The Bulblord is an incredibly large [[Bulborb]] that has weak spots all over its back, but its bulk and attack speed makes attacking it difficult.


Its main attack is a charging-bite in which it dashes across the whole stage in a single direction. Its other attack involves the retraction of its legs and weakpoints and rolling from side-to-side across the stage, much like the Empress Bulblax. It is advised to use a strategy similar to the one used to defeat the [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#Bilious_Bulborb|Bilious Bulborb]], as getting it to turn around in single player is hard; simply have [[Olimar]] run behind it, causing it to turn around. While still dodging its attacks, get the other Mii Pikmin to attack its weak points.

After its head weakpoint is damaged down to half of its health, the Emperor Pinchipede will seperate from all but one segment and start constantly moving while biting. During this phase all of the other segments will once again turn to their orange sides and start moving independantly. The Emperor Pinchipede will periodically stop moving for a but before continuing to move around the stage, making for a great time to attack it while dodging the other segments.

==Grand Bulblord==
[[File:Grand Bulblord2.png|thumb|300px|The Grand Bulblord.]]
The '''Grand Bulblord''' ({{j|ショーグンチャッピー|Shōgun Chappī|General Chappy}}) is the first boss in the extra challenges of ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. It is essentially a variant of the [[Bulblord]] found in the standard challenges. It has a similar color scheme to the [[Emperor Bulblax]] from the main series games and the [[Green Bulborb]] also seen in ''Pikmin Adventure''.
==Attacks==
The Grand Bulblord's attacks are very similar to those of the Bulblord, only faster.
==Strategy==
{{guide}}
The Grand Bulblord has the same strategy as the original Bulblord, but the Grand Bulblord has more health, does not react when the weak points on its back are destroyed, and is faster during its second phase.
What you must do is remove all of its weak points from its back. If you are low leveled, it is recommend to go for the smaller ones first, as they break easily and give you lots of [[Nectar#Pikmin Adventure|nectar]] for you to level up with. In the last challenge of the attraction, '''Goodbye Pikmin''', which is a boss rush, a few Creepy Beebs and a [[Bulborb#Pikmin Adventure|Bulborb]] will spawn in. Getting rid of these first will provide a decent amount of nectar.
Once the Grand Bulblord's back weakpoints have been destroyed, its sclera will turn black, and the rings around it's pupils red with rage. The joints on its legs open up into weakpoints, providing the next objective. Begin targeting only one of the legs so that when it breaks, the Grand Bulblord will fall over onto its back, revealing its major weak spot on its underbelly. Once it starts falling over, call your Pikmin and teammates and begin throwing them on top so that everyone can help out. Like the Bulblord, it is possible to get a stamp by attacking and breaking its eyes, which act similar to its weakpoints.
When the final weak point breaks, the Grand Bulblord's head begins to spin ferociously, slowing down gradually until the entire body explodes.
Destroying both of the Grand Bulblord's eyes will reward the player with a stamp, the ''Eyes of the Bulblord''.
