A Bucculus looks like a plant with large, red lips and a purple poison zone on the back that resembles a strawberry. It hides deep in the ground, with only its lips showing. | A Bucculus looks like a plant with large, red lips and a purple poison zone on the back that resembles a strawberry.

It appears as lips on the ground | It appears as red lips on the ground: if the player goes near it, it will pop up nearly instantly and stick to the character. There is no possibility to [[dodge]] the attack, thus the only possible strategy is to stay away from it. Once stuck, Bucculus will emit cartoon-like "boing" noises and attack by kissing the player repeatedly, filling up its poison zone, [[absorb]]ing [[health]] and causing immense damage. | ||
On the higher difficulties, its kiss can raise the player's damage from 0% to 999% in slightly more than eight seconds. It could also try to carry the player past the [[blast line]]s for a [[OHKO|guaranteed KO]], which isn't much dangerous on "still" stages, but becomes a real danger on stages with a moving blast line. In these stages the player is quite likely to suffer a guaranteed KO, being trapped between two obstacles or carried beyond a blast line, due to being unable to move as long as Bucculus is attached. | |||
If a Bucculus misses its grab attack, it will bounce around and plant itself again after a few seconds. If a Bucculus with a filled poison zone is killed, it will most likely drop a [[Maxim Tomato]], but occasionally drops [[Food]] otherwise. The player does not need to weaken an "empty" Bucculus to turn it into a [[trophy]] with a [[trophy stand]], since its base health is always very low (even on Intense). However, when Bucculus absorbs energy from the player with its kiss, its life bar greatly increases, up to about five times its minimum. | |||
Although the player is unable to move with a stuck Bucculus on him, he will have to press an attack button repeatedly to make Bucculus break away. Bucculus will then plant itself again in the ground. Notice that Bucculus doesn't break away by itself, and that this action will require more time as difficulty increases, from around three seconds on Easy to nearly six on Intense. | |||
