Spikecrawler

In Pikmin: Gold/Silver/Bronze
The Spikecrawler is a boss Pikmin: Gold/Silver/Bronze. These mineroa has spikes all over their bodies. They are used for killing Pikmin much easier. Only Gold Pikmin can destroy this creature. There are two ways to defeat this boss. One way is when the creature hits its spike ball on the ground, as it gets stuck for 10 seconds. You have to be quick. You must attack its legs. Attack anywhere else your Pikmin dies instantly. The second way is when it's charging at you. Let it run into a wall so it gets stuck, then attack the legs again. It is probably one of the most difficult bosses to defeat since it goes very fast. They look similar to Garden Centipedes.
