I guess an interesting thing to look at is how many each bulborb can grab per bite. With the OG spotty bulborb, they can get 3 per bite, red Bulborbs can get 5 per bite, and it looks like bulborbs can get anywhere from 2-5 per bite. Another interesting thing to note is that pikmin 3 Bulborbs have rng for burping.
I don't think it's RNG. If it eats 1-2 Pikmin it recovers quicker to take another bite. If it eats 3-5 Pikmin it does a longer swallowing animation followed by a belch. I think this was added for balancing reasons so they're incapable of wiping out an entire squad in seconds, like they could in Pikmin 2.

Wow, this was a really interesting video. I enjoyed it and seeing that data is great. I knew that Pikmin 2 was way harder than the other two but I didn't expect the difference to be that big.
@@Bulbmin1 Pikmin 2 is hard if you don't reset (it ain't an intended way to play the game), the random bombs from nowhere and the aggressive enemies make it pretty hard. I'm saying this with countless Pikmin 2 hours and it is also my fav.
Doing a bit more math(based on footage and not the actual test): Pikmin 1 = 3 pikmin / 2 seconds OR 1.5 pikmin per second Pikmin 2 = 5 pikmin / 1.5 seconds OR 3 pikmin per second Pikmin 3 = 5 pikmin / ~2.2 seconds OR 2 pikmin per second This mean that Pikmin 2's Bulborb was buffed not only in the max pikmin it can eat in 1 attack, but also reduced its attack cooldown by half, making a unattended load doomed if a bulbord is around. Only to be nerfed in Pikmin 3(unclear if deluxe or not, subtle changes in deluxe vs original) by having a slightly longer cooldown than in original.
They have a lot more HP than in Pikmin 2, or at least it feels that way. Even in Pikmin 2, you can spam throw reds at it, and it will die pretty quickly, whereas that's a lot more difficult in 1. Pikmin 2 Bulborbs trade durability for Pikmin eating ability.
Pikmin 1 bulborb eats 3 pikmin per bite. Pikmin 2 bulborb eats 5 pikmin per bite but fast. Pikmin 3 bulborb it's 5 pikmin per bite but slow and the burp makes it slower.
This was wild. I had no idea how big the difference was, but looking at the footage you can see how they rebalanced them from game to game. Pikmin: - 5 bites per 10 sec, with 3 Pikmin per bite. Totaling 15 Pikmin per 10 sec Pikmin 2: - 8 bites per 10 sec, with 5 Pikmin per bite. Totaling 40 Pikmin per 10 sec Pikmin 3: - 3 or 4 bites per 10 sec, with 5 Pikmin max per bite. Totaling 15-20 Pikmin per 10 sec (potentially) The third one seems a little screwed looking at the video, because you came at it from the side instead of head on, so the first bite doesn't get the max number of Pikmin. But it's insane how destructive they were in Pikmin 2 😂
It’s kind of fascinating to learn that Pikmin in 1 retaliated against their attackers, it makes their ambivalence to their friends being wiped out in 2 & 3 a little sad
i remember the time i started a pikmin 2 game after finishing pikmin 1 I tried to kill that first big bulborb the same way as in the first game but it doesnt work at all and it ended yup with a rampage
@@syweb2 In pikmin 1 the best method to kill bulbors quickly is to simply "swarm" pikmins on them from at their back (which doesn't work at all in pikmin) But yeah once you find out its more effective to just throw them the bulborb has no chance :P
This is why Pikmin 2 is the best Pikmin game. It was an improvement upon almost every mechanic in Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 3 is too easy in comparison. (also 3 lacks in content)
Do you think the red bulborb in Pikmin 4 can take the title??
Nope. The one in 5 will for sure
Nah he looks like he’s on a diet lol
I WILL MAKE SURE THERE SPECIES DONT MAKE IT TO PIKMIN 4!!!!! WETHER ITS YOUR FAVOURITE ENEMY OR NOT!!!!!!!
@@colleenmogg6007 what do you have against the Bulborbs?!😭😭
@@Final_Starman THEY STOLE MY FRESH PIKMIN BONES!!!!!
I did not know that bulborbs could burp in pikmin 3
I think they mostly do that in deluxe since in pikmin 3 I only saw bulbears burp

What's rng?
@@Link-Link It's the videogame term for "luck". It stands for "Random Number Generation", which it's the way computers simulate random events.
@@LocalPlagueDoc ahhh ok thank you

We need a Bulbear list to see which one was the most dangerous too!
Can't help but feel like 2 would win there
And a wollywog
I was playing pikmin 2 earlier and the bulbear ate 8 pikmin in one bite
I think the bulbear in Pikmin 2 can eat 7 or some shit.
Wow, this was a really interesting video. I enjoyed it and seeing that data is great. I knew that Pikmin 2 was way harder than the other two but I didn't expect the difference to be that big.
And you've earned yourself a sub :)
@@Pikzelow thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it (:
Too bad Bulbord's are kinda destroyed by Purple Pikmin in that game
That bulborb burp is so cute, guess i'll feed some bulbords next time I play pikmin 3.
I didn’t realize they did that until I made this video haha
Bulbears do it every time
pikmin 4 also has it
That's interesting. I always thought that the ones from pikmin 1 was worst. Maybe they look harder because they have more health
This proves that 2 was the hardest pikmin 3 was the easiest and 1 was the middle ground basically like the metroid prime trilogy lol
Pikmin 2 isn’t that hard if you know how to fight the enemies but dang it can be extremely brutal if you let your guard down

The bulborb from one seem alot harder without purples
their easy to kill in pikmin 1 aswell tbh

No they just are slower to kill because Pikmin 1 is very glitchy and slow
Not even just purples, Pikmin 2's red bulborb has noticeably less health.
Pikmin 1's has 1100, 3 and 4's has 1000 and 2's only has 750.
i literally heard the fear in your voice as you watched your pikmin get devoured
Alright but why do the Bulborbs in Pikmin 1 have chapped lips?
That’s the kind of question only a flamsey video can answer
@@frangrams lol
Theres a reason why they have the name chappy in the files
glad to see some bulborb rep on youtube 💪
It surprised me that pikmin 3 matched pikmin 1
Pikmin 1 bulborb eats 3 pikmin per bite.
Pikmin 2 bulborb eats 5 pikmin per bite but fast.
Pikmin 3 bulborb it's 5 pikmin per bite but slow and the burp makes it slower.

Conclusion: you are a monster
Rest in peace for all the Pikmin who sacrificed themselves for this video
I'm using this video as a guide so I can 3d print the bublorbs In their Canon size!
Result: 2 inches, aka 5 cm
i remember the time i started a pikmin 2 game after finishing pikmin 1
I tried to kill that first big bulborb the same way as in the first game but it doesnt work at all and it ended yup with a rampage
Aren't they super weak to throwing at their back? You can throw pretty fast in Pikmin 2, right?

bro burps lol
Pikmin 2 is partially because the squad stands closer and other Pikmin don’t get disturbed and start attacking it like in 1
Anyone else get the vibes he enjoyed sacrificing them Pikmin lol I’m just kidding love the vids bro 😂☠️
Hahaha you caught me. Thank you for the support!
@@frangrams I knew it 🤣 no problem keep going man.
You need more subs!
Is that the bite of 87?
That’s what I thought
Wow, I didn't even notice up to now that the bulborbs can burp in pikmin 3. It makes it more cute I guess but still F's for those pikmin.
you should do the yellow wollywog!
Nice time measurement method bro.
What about hey pikmin bulborb
What did we do to anger you please no
This is a pikmin-eating competition and the Bulbord from Pikmin 2 wins for sure.
OH GOD IM SO UPSET I WANTED PIKMIN 4 TO BE FOR ADVANCED PLAYERS
They can burp???? Wow guess you learn something new everyday.
Pikmin 2 continues to stay on top
I love bulborbs too
Pikmin 2 sweep
That was actully 10.37569th of a second
There is a reason why purple pikmin were added in pikmin 2 it seems
Try bulbear next why did you have a golden ship in pikmin 2
Who thinks pikmin 2 is the best here
This is why Pikmin 2 is the best Pikmin game. It was an improvement upon almost every mechanic in Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 3 is too easy in comparison.
(also 3 lacks in content)
Agreed!
Chad pikmim 2 bulborb😎
Bite of 87 Pikmin
You forgot hey pikmin and pikmin adventure
I dont know. I guess pikmin 2? I havent watched the video yet
What about the different type of Bulbords, how does the orange Bulborb compare
Oh the pikmanity!!! Just for that I’m going to make bulborbs not appear in pikmin 4 if you know what I mean ):
I smell failure 🤡
Yippee!!!🎉
I worship the bulborbs
ALL HAIL BULBORB
BULBORB FOR LIFE
BULBORB IS LIFE
BUOBORB LEADS US
ALL HAIL BULBORB
I made a typo and Bulborb is disappointed :(
My kind…
Emperous bulblax all the way
Conclusion none of the pikmin has been arm or parish
Bulbear Duh
Orange bulborbs eat more if u want to calculate that
4
So sad they made Pikmin 4 a handicapped hand hold no skill required game, my beloved series has been merged to auto lock on nonsense
Hey Pikmin?
This is pikmin abuse
:(
