Red Bulborbs (アカチャッピー, Red Chappy) are enemies from the Pikmin series.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As a stage element

A Red Bulborb can appear on the right side of the Distant Planet stage. It stand in place, looking around and acting as an extra platform. However, standing on it can be extremely dangerous, since lingering players are likely to be carried off screen or chomped by it, thus getting KOed. The Bulborb occasionally opens its wide mouth, quickly eating any character who gets into it.

  The Bulborb never actually leaves the stage, it just walks off screen.

In Olimar's Final Smash

In Olimar's Final Smash, End of Day, dusk will fall and Olimar will enter his ship to escape the predators of the planet. When Olimar leaves the stage, Red Bulborbs will constantly attack the players that remain on the field. However, characters like R.O.B. and Pit may be able to escape the furious attacks of the Red Bulborbs by using their up special moves.

Trophy information

Red Bulborb

A creature whose Japanese name translates as "spotted crimson bug-eye." These bulky nocturnal animals have white-and-red-flecked rumps that resemble strawberries. Red bulborbs sleep in the day and wake in the evening to feed on small animals. Several colors of bulborb subspecies have been discovered--their classification is a hot subject for scholars.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

The Bulborb takes a hit from Luigi's Green Missile in Smash Run.

The Red Bulborb keeps its Brawl roles in Distant Planet and End of Day. It can also appear on the left side of Garden of Hope, but does not interact with the fighters.

In Smash Run

The Red Bulborb appears as a powerful enemy. It is much smaller than in Brawl, now being about the correct size compared to Olimar. Like all strong enemies it has knockback resistance, can appear as a target enemy and drops several powerups then defeated. Its attacks include:

• running forward while biting
• jumping backwards, rump-first, dealing strong knockback.

Trophy information

The Bulborb trophy appears in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U it is part of the Distant Planet & Indigenous Creatures Trophy Box.

Bulborb

These creatures from the Pikmin series have snail-like protruding eyes, huge mouths, and really bad tempers. They're known for snapping at fighters and trying to trample them underfoot. If you see one in a group of enemies, you should try to take it out fast—it'll shoot off and bounce around, hitting other enemies as it goes!

These creatures from the Pikmin series have snaillike protruding eyes, huge mouths, and really bad tempers. Despite their cute appearance, they'll happily gobble up Pikmin! In Smash Bros., they appear on the Garden of Hope stage, wandering around or chasing the poor Pikmin. Thankfully, they don't seem interested in the fighters duking it out.
