The '''Bulborb''' ({{j|チャッピー|Chappī|Chappy}}) 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|main ''Pikmin'' series]], featuring three large white spots on its sides, large stalkless eyes that turn red when attacking, screws connecting the mouth to the main body, two small spots and 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 player, but there are larger Bulborbs that can be found in certain areas.

The Bulborb can be found either sleeping or being sent into the area by a gashapon capsule before it starts walking towards a player. It has two walking speeds, a slow walk and a slightly faster walk that is replaced by an attack once the Bulborb is close to the players. Alongside this is a small hop that it can do to avoid attacks and quickly get close to 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 [[Pikmin Adventure prizes#Bulborb Dropping|Bulborb Dropping]], making it impossible for them to be properly 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===
The only weak spot the Bulborb has is on its back, making it easy to throw Pikmin at or directly attack it. The Bulborb will try to shake off all of the 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 slowly walk around, move out of its sight to make it look for a player in sight, 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 '''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 [[Pikmin Adventure enemies#Bulborb|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 in the challenges.

The Yellow Bulborb, unlike other Bulborb variants, does not charge at far away players, instead, it shoots out a projectile to harm the player. On top of this, the Yellow Bulborb will hop around often to dodge attacks and get close to eat players.

The Yellow Bulborb can either 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 take 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 Olimar or orher Pikmin attack them, similar to the Bulborb Dropping.

Due to being a variant of the 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, meaning those are also good times to attack if the players are able to avoid the projectile.

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 often appears in groups, requiring players to either take on a small group of them, or in some cases, simply run away from them.

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 home in on the player when charging. Once it finishes a charge, it will start panting for a short amount of time.

Because the Green Bulborb starts panting after charging, it is very easy to attack it when it isn't charging. When the Green Bulborb is charging however, it is advised to run away because the homing charge makies 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''' ({{j|テンテンチャッピー|Tenten Chappī|Dotted Chappy}}) is the rarest non-boss 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 the other Bulborb variants, so it is suggested by Monita that it may not be a Bulborb subspecies.

The Bilious Bulborb shares most of the attacks that are used by the three standard Bulborb variants.

It also charges in a straight line and pants afterwards like the red and green Bulborbs respectively.

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. If the arena has rocks or bombs nearby, 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 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''' ({{j|ザコワラジ|Zako Waraji|Small Fry Woodlouse}}; 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]], with the main design difference being a ring around the yellow tip of the antenna.

The Creepy Beeb is the easiest enemy to kill in '''Pikmin Adventure''', as it can die in one direct hit and get weighed down by a single Pikmin due to its entire body being a single weak-point. It only rolls forward a little bit, so avoiding its attack is very simple. Some Creepy 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.

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.

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.

Most Telescoping Pumphogs are completely stationary and are unable to do much of anything other than shoot projectiles while a few 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.

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.

The '''Translucent Wollywog''' ({{j|オオグチカスミガエル|Oo Guchi Kasumi Gaeru|Big-mouthed Haze Frog}}; known as '''Translucent Wollyhop''' in the European version) is the second boss to be fought in the extra challenges of ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. It is almost the same exact boss as the [[Large-Mouth Wollywog]] from the 16 standard challenges. The only differences between the two are that the Translucent Wollywog is see-through compared to the Large-Mouth Wollywog which is yellow, and that it shoots its tongue out three times in a row instead of just one time.

The strategy used for the Large-Mouth Wollywog also applies here. When it shoots out its tongue, attack it while it is still out, and it will hit itself in the head and be dazed for a bit. Use this interval of time to attack the weak point on its tongue, which should break in no time. Once it breaks, the Translucent Wollywog will move back into the center of the pond. Its cheeks are now open as weak points, proceed to throw Pikmin at them, dodging any tongue attacks. After the player breaks both cheeks, its back becomes the final weak point. At this time, it is best to locate a rock, and throw it at the Translucent Wollywog. Chances are that it will be stunned for a decent amount of time, so get behind the Wollywog and throw Pikmin at its back until it breaks, finishing the fight.

==Trivia==
Interestingly, the Translucent Wollywog is classified under the "wollywog family", not the [[Amphituber|amphituber family]], likely due belonging to a separate family in the Japanese version of the game ({{j|カスミガエル科|Kasumi Gaeru Ka|haze frog family}}). This is not the case in the European version.
