Defeating Emperor Bulblax
Take about ten Purple Pikmin and use the Ultra-Spicy Spray on them. Throw them all on the giant Bulblax. The Boss should be defeated in just a few seconds.

You must be willing to sacrifice a few Yellow Pikmin for this trick. In the Final Trial area, once you are ready and have cleared a path leading to the Emperor Bulblax, get about 10 to 15 Yellow Pikmin. Then, head up the path straight to the round-shaped arena. Sneak past the Emperor Bulblax and you will see a hill leading to the top of the arena. Go left and right, searching for as many bomb-rocks as possible. Then, go back to the bottom of the arena and wake up the Emperor Bulblax with Captain Olimar. Once he has awakened, get directly in front of him. He will open his mouth with his huge tongue and will slurp them up. After that, right inside his stomach, a huge explosion will happen inside his body and a huge chunk of his health will be wiped out. Repeat this until you are out of Pikmin, and he will probably be dead by then. Note: On your way up the hill in the arena, there will be a gate.

Defeating Empress Bulblax
Take about three to five Red Pikmin and go into the corner directly next to Empress Bulblax. Start to throw all the Red Pikmin on it. When it is about to shake them off, whistle your Pikmin back and go into the corner, pressing the "C-stick Down", so they will be behind you and therefore will not be crushed. Keep repeating those steps until you defeat Empress Bulblax. This is a good strategy to use to keep most of your Pikmin alive.

Defeating Looie's spider Boss
Go head on to the Boss with only Yellow Pikmin.
