Its other attack involves its retraction of its legs and weakpoints and rolling from side-to-side across the stage, much like the Empress Bulblax.

The Bulblord (トノサマチャッピー?, lit.: "Lord Chappy") is the first major boss in Pikmin Adventure, appearing in the fourth standard challenge, Overthrow the Bulblord. The Bulblord is an incredibly large Bulborb that has weak spots and smaller white spots dotted all over its back, stalked eyes that can be destroyed, retractable legs, and a mechanism that allows the head to move independently from the rest of the body.

Behavior[edit]

Once the battle starts, the Bulblord will start walking towards the players, and will do one of three attacks during its first phase. One attack involves the biting of any players near its mouth. Another attack involves the retraction of its legs and weakpoints and rolling from side-to-side across the stage, much like the Empress Bulblax. The last attack the Bulblord will do during its first phase will be rushing in a straight line similar to the Bulborb.

During the second phase, the Bulblord will only attack either with its roll or with a combination of the bite and rush attacks that functions similar to the Green Bulborb's homing charge.

Strategy[edit]

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

It is advised to use a strategy similar to the one used to defeat the Bilious Bulborb, as getting it to turn around in single player is hard; simply have the Mii Olimar player run behind it, causing it to turn around to attack them. While still dodging its attacks, get the other Mii Pikmin players to attack its weak points.

After all of the weak points have been destroyed, it will gain 2 new ones on its knees. It is best to use the distracting method to aim at these, as the Bulblord will begin to move much faster once these are exposed.

Once both of the weak points on the legs are destroyed, it will helplessly roll onto its back, revealing its final weak point on its underbelly. Simply throw all your Pikmin onto the weak point before the fight is over.

Even though the Bulblord's eyes are able to be destroyed alongside the other weak points, destroying them will not contribute to the fight in any way aside from rewarding the player with a stamp, the Eyes of the Bulblord.
