Bladed Beeb >> |
Emperor Pinchipede is the third major boss encountered in Pikmin Adventure. Just like the Beebs, it has its own unique family, the Pinchepede family. It bears a resemblance to the Armored Mawdad, a creature in Pikmin 3.
Monita's Notes[]
"This beast's segmented body has plenty of weak points, making it easy to target. However, it will hide them when it is upset. Just don't get too close to its snapping jaws."
Strategy[]
TheEmperor Pinchipede is a difficult boss. Its body is divided into 12 segments, each with their own weakpoints. 4 of these segments are larger than the others, and are linked together by 2 smaller segments each, totalling 12. Its head, which is a 13th segment, is equipped with a large pair of sharp mandibles which will instantly eat anything in their way. It is impossible to stun it, leaving you without your stun strategy.
As the Emperor Pinchipede crawls around the battlefield, its weak points may be openly attacked. However, whenever one of the 4 larger segments is broken off, it will have a mind of its own and slowly move around the stage, spinning wildly with spikes all over it. It is best advised to take out the smaller segments first so the battlefield will be less cluttered.
The Pinchipede Getting Enraged (Dangerous side As orange).
Occasionally, the boss will cover all of its weakpoints and turn orange, during which he will rampage across the map for a short time before going back to normal. Simply stay out of the way of its mandibles and you will avoid harm.
After all its weak points are destroyed, it will gain 1 more on his head segment. However, whenever it is in direct line of sight of the player, it will compact his body segments like an accordion, cover its head's weakpoint, and then shoot itself across the stage. After it finishes this attack is when it is best to attack its head.
After its head weakpoint is damaged down to half health, the battle will get faster. Simply repeat the above process to defeat it. Once it is defeated, its head will explode into Nintendo Land Coins.
Prize unlockable![]
After defeating the Emperor Pinchipede, you can unlock it as an animated statue in the Nintendo Land plaza. It will only have its head with wheels, however.
