Pikmin: The War of the Pikmin Planet/Bosses

This is a list of bosses in Pikmin: The War of the Pikmin Planet, in the order they are first fought.

Giant Breadbug

 * Fought in Underground Oasis

Same as in Pikmin 2, but with more health.

Shearwood

 * Fought in Oak Cave

A giant Shearwig that can knock down logs, summon Male Sheargrubs, and eat Pikmin.

Burrowing Snagret

 * Fought in Grit Grotto

Exactly the same as the first two games.

Goolix

 * Fought in Gooey Cavern

In this game, it can increase its size. It goes after the Captains.

Beady Long Legs

 * Fought in Web Den

Many veteran players will remember this guy. Use the same strategy.

Armored Cannon Beetle

 * Fought in Cliff Cave

Its boulders are noticably larger in this game.

King Smoky Bulblax

 * Fought in Dark Cave

An Emperor Bulblax that has been corrupted by black smoke. He's actually not as powerful as a regular Bulblax, but he still is a force to be reckoned with.

Lava Goliark

 * Fought in Crag Cavern

A large, lava spitting bug, with mandibles that it uses to attack.

Empress Bulblax

 * Fought in Electric Complex

Almost the same as Pikmin 2, but it sleeps at first, and when it wakes up it produces Bulborb Larva.

Raging Long Legs

 * Fought in Lost Flowerbed

A large arachnorb. Although it has bigger feet, it is also a big target.

Formidable Toxicrab

 * Fought in Poison Pit

A huge Toxicrab that spits fire and poison, crushes Pikmin, and tries to inhale them.

Emperor Bulblax

 * Fought in Monarch Hole

A staple boss of the series. He has the same size and attacks as in Pikmin 2.

Smogret

 * Fought in Dark Den

A corrupted snagret that eats, suffocates, and headbutts Pikmin.

Pileated Snagret

 * Fought in Stump Grotto

This battle is hard if you aren't quick to react. Wait until it gets stuck in the ground, then attack.

Mechanized Monster

 * Fought in Maroon Maze

A giant, monstrous robot that wants nothing more than to take you out with its drill. See the Maroon Maze page for more info on the battle.

Ranging Bloyster

 * Fought in Rusty Pipeworks

The key to this battle is teamwork. Make sure to constantly switch between Olimar and his son to pummel the Bloyster.

Segmented Crawbster

 * Fought in Waterfall Trench

Always keep moving, and try to preempt its attacks. One thing that is different from the Pikmin 2 version is that rocks do not fall upon the crawbster smashing into the wall.

Ferinus

 * Fought in Dark Grotto

A formidable foe that becomes your ally after the duel.

Waterwraith

 * Fought in Blast Burrow

Never stop running, and keep throwing Purple Pikmin at it.
