* In ''Pikmin 2'', the Empress Bulblax's specific epithet, ''matriarcha'', indicates that it is considered a different species from its offspring, the Bulborb Larvae (''bambinii''), which is a biological impossibility. ''Pikmin 4'' corrects this by updating the specific epithets of both the Empress Bulblax and the Bulborb Larvae to that of the Bulborb (''kageyamii''), establishing that they are all different forms of the same species. | * In ''Pikmin 2'', the Empress Bulblax's specific epithet, ''matriarcha'', indicates that it is considered a different species from its offspring, the Bulborb Larvae (''bambinii''), which is a biological impossibility.

In ''Pikmin 2'', the Empress Bulblax bizarrely does not have a soul leave her body upon defeat. Unlike other enemies who don't leave souls behind when defeated this makes no sense, as unlike them the Empress Bulblax is clearly dead. | *In ''Pikmin 2'', the Empress Bulblax bizarrely does not have a soul leave her body upon defeat.
