In Pikmin: Doomed Online
In Pikmin: Doomed Online, the Glitter Bulborb appears and behaves exactly as it does in Pikmin: Doomed Time.

In Pikmin: Doomed Time
The Glitter Bulborb is a rare bulborb that has adapted to eating metal. It primarily consumes prey that also feeds on metal, preferring rarer metals over more common metals, indicating where Glitter Bulborbs can be found. Tougher metal is indigestible by a Glitter Bulborb, but their body rids it of irregularities before the object is regurgitated, resulting in the purification of the metal piece. Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae go through a similar process, by feeding on metals regurgitated by their adult form, the Armored Cannon Beetle. The Glitter Bulborb's backside resembles black iron and is invulnerable to attack. A Glitter Bulborb can be defeated with Pikmin by throwing them onto its face, but leaders must use their jetpacks to be able to reach its face. Beware the beast's bite, which is instantly fatal to a leader due to their metal suits. At half health, a Glitter Bulborb will charge its airborne attackers, knocking them out of the air and depleting half of their health gauges.

In Pikmin Extinction
In Pikmin Extinction, the Glitter Bulborb has a soft underbelly that can only be properly attacked if its legs are swarmed or its eyes are attacked by Pikmin. A single bite from a Glitter Bulborb will remove a quarter of a leader's health.
