'''Green Bulborbs''' are semi-common foes encountered in ''Pikmin Adventure'', and are larger than most Mecha Bulborbs. They usually appear in enclosed areas, requiring the player to manually break them out, or in dark areas, requiring the player to use the nearby [[Common Glowcap#Pikmin Adventure|Glowing Mushroom]] to upgrade their light source.

The '''Bilious Bulborbs''' is the largest of all the common mechanical Bulborbs found throughout ''Pikmin Adventure'', and is the second mini-boss the player fights. Its eyes and color make it resemble the [[Orange Bulborb]]. They have smaller spots than other Bulborbs, so it is suggested that they may not be a member of the [[Grub-dog family]]

Upon entering its arena, the mechanical beast will awaken and the battle will begin with a roar. Rather than charging the player like most enemies do, the Bilious Bulborb will instead stand in place and shoot [[Spike Ball]]s out of its mouth. The best way to defeat this creature is with multiple players, as getting behind it is difficult with one person alone. Have the player controlling Olimar run around so the other Mii Pikmin can get to the weak-points dotting its back. Once the mini-boss has taken enough damage, it will enrage and get faster, and will be quicker to shake off Pikmin. Fortunately, the arena may have rocks at its edges. If it does, Olimar or the Pikmin can pick these up to throw at the boss. If the rocks hit the creature on a weak-point or directly on its face, it will be dazed for a few seconds. If utilized properly, the rocks can turn the tide in a losing battle and save the player.

'''Creepy Beebs''' ({{EU|y}}: '''Worker Baubs''') are the smallest enemies found in ''Pikmin Adventure''. They are unique in the sense that they are listed as belonging to the "Beeb family" ({{EU|y}}: '''Soplouse family'''), a family that is not listed in the current ''Pikmin'' series. They resemble small purple orbs with four legs, two large, stalked eyes, and an antenna coming out from the tops of their heads.

Creepy Beebs come in various sizes: small and medium, which are easy to kill, and larger, more dangerous ones. They all attack by flashing a yellow color, and rolling forward. Small individuals are the easiest to kill, as their entire body is a single weak-point and they don't have a lot of health. They only roll forward a tiny bit, so avoiding their attack is very simple. Medium Beebs take a few hits to kill, but are still very simple to get rid of; their attacks are the same as the small ones. Large Beebs curl up into a ball to roll around continuously, crushing anything in their path. These types must be attacked when they are not rolling, but 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 small and medium Creepy Beebs.

They attack by changing their snout from an opening to a needle, and charging at the players. The player will first meet them in the level Burst the Giant Balloon.
