#A large mob of [[Purple Pikmin]] thrown at this enemy while it lies dormant in the ground should drop its [[HP|health]] to a substantial fraction. Once it has risen fully, the first or third strategy should be used.

#The creature is attacked until it has stood up all the way, and at that point it is [[Ultra-Bitter Spray|petrified]]. As soon as the spray wears off, it should be petrified again. However, occasionally the Man-at-Legs will exit the stun and start shooting immediately, without the aiming laser.

#Before the creature opens fire, the player can dismiss their Pikmin away from the Man-at-Legs and run in tight circles around its legs. As long as [[Olimar]] is closer to the creature than the Pikmin, he will be shot at, and with skill, unharmed. This strategy is easier to perform after obtaining the [[Rush Boots]].

Unfortunately, the player faces the Man-at-Legs in a watery area two out of three times, leaving the aforementioned strategy of [[Purple Pikmin]] useless. In such circumstances, it is best to attempt the "Hit and Run" technique of number one. The second strategy has also been removed in ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2]]'', as the creature is invincible while it is rising from the ground. The fourth method is effective, but hard to perform at times.
