PIKMIN 3: QUAGGLED MIRECLOPS
I have been able to do a no-death run of EVERY boss in this game except for this one. He is a pain in the A**. He stomps around, making the mud below him turn into water, which means death to every Pikmin besides blues. But you have to attack those feet he stomps around with, so a good amount of Pikmin will die if you send out non blue or winged Pikmin to attack his feet. And when he falls over and you can attack him, he will use his tongue to eat up any Pikmin on his body. And you have to call your Pikmin back the second he opens his mouth, because his tongue is freaking GIANT and will move around very quickly.
It's very satisfying seeing it die, though, because it lets out a big roar and falls into the ground, getting stuck in the mud. And since there is grass on top of it, if you go back to where it's enormous body is stuck in the mud the next day, there will be a ton of Pellet Posies grown on top of it, and butterflies.
OKAY SO I FOUND A STRATEGY TO BEAT IT WITHOUT LOSING ANY PIKMIN
Take ~20 Rock Pikmin and ~50-80 Winged Pikmin into the arena. Separate them, and take your Rock Pikmin to it to start the battle. Now get your Winged Pikmin as it starts stomping around, and leave behind your Rock Pikmin. Use a Spicy Spray and attack the closest foot, then grab your Rock Pikmin and destroy the Mireclops Crystal. Rinse and repeat, but use Spicy Sprayed Winged Pikmin to attack its head instead of using Rock Pikmin, and it should go down rather quickly.

Not difficult. You probably won't even die.
But this thing ricochets around that little platform, and any time it nudges you or slithers away just in time to make you harmlessly strike its yellow shell, KAPEW you're gone in a flash and you have to make the trek back up. Again, and again.
I know going off the edge just makes you go to the previous floor, only a short distance from the staircase back up... but I think that hole in the middle leads straight to the first floor? And oh, after falling... the hit counter resets.
Oh the tedium... For some I'm sure it isn't hard at all to aim just right the first try, but for unskilled gamers (me) this thing is the worst. Luckily the second time fighting it at the endgame isn't hard at all (especially with an upgraded sword).
At the very least, he was a lot easier in Link's Awakening. All you had to do was use the Roc's Feather effectively and hit him when his tail was turned to you.
On another note, was I the only one who had trouble with the second boss (can't remember its name) and the Slime Eel?
