The Miniature Snootwhacker (コバナタタキ?, lit.: "Little Nose-Knocker") is an enemy in Pikmin 4. It is the younger variant of the Mammoth Snootwhacker. Due to its tough skin, it is immune to most physical attacks from pikmin, even Rock Pikmin. Its belly is its weak point, but it can only be exposed by charging at it with Oatchi, using a lightning shock, or exploding a bomb rock near the vicinity of the creature.

Behavior

Upon getting close to Pikmin, Oatchi, or the Player, the Miniature Snootwhacker will use it's trunk to do a spinning attack, which, if Pikmin, Oatchi, or the player are hit by, it will send them briefly into the air and they will get sent a moderate distance away from where they got hit. If Oatchi is to hit the Miniature Snootwhacker with a rush, it will flip and reveal it's soft belly, which is able to be damaged by Pikmin and/or Oatchi. When the Miniature Snootwhacker regains it's footing after being flipped, it will knock off any Pikmin attacking it. The Miniature Snootwhacker is unable to kill Pikmin.

Due to the creature's hard skin, it cannot be attacked directly. Using Oatchi's Rush attack is the simplest and most effective method to flip the Snootwhacker over in order to attack its soft underbelly.

Notes

Dalmo's Notes

“The way it catches its food, protects its belly, and gets up while working with the weight of its sizable trunk are all taught by its diligent parents. Instead of hand and foot, the attend to their offspring nose and foot! They prepare the child for the day it will leave the nest and eventually become the parent itself.”

Olimar's Notes

“Immediately after birth, this species's skin starts to harden, and before long it will reach the same impenetrable toughness as that as that of an adult.

Adult Snoowhackers dexterously use there trunks to grab food from high tree branches, but juveniles consume fruit and nuts that have fallen to the ground as well as other types of terrestrial flora.”

Louie's Notes

“Gently peel the skin back from the nose. Its meat has a grassy bitterness. Tastes like cucumber.”
