These are the enemies you encounter throughout the game. They are divided up depending on what area you '''''first''''' find them in. Enemies that have slight variations in them (Like say the black and red bat) will be found in the category of which you first encountered one of them (so black and red bat would be in Start Cave).{{-}} | These are the enemies you encounter throughout the game.

The | The Giant Pignon is basically the exact same as the normal pignon. It will not actively seek you out so the only way to get hurt is by running into it. The only real noticeable difference is that when shot, the Giant Pignon tends to "bounce" around a lot more than the normal one, so be careful of that. The Giant Pignon is found only in the graveyard section of the Mimiga Village. | ||

This guy isn't so hard. He's only like the Drolls. However, he throws more than one, so be careful! He should be easy to take down. Use the Spur/Nemesis in this fight. Nemesis can work better, because there are no enemies in this fight. Machine Gun also works. When you beat him, you'll find a chest. Open it; it contains the Clay Figure Medal.{{-}} | This guy isn't so hard. He's only like the Drolls. However, he throws more than one, so be careful! He should be easy to take down.

Let's start with form one: himself. Eventually he will charge at you. He follows a basic strategy: charge at you, jump in the air, charge at you, and pound you down to the ground, and it repeats over and over. While he is doing this, shoot him with Nemesis or Spur. If he is not dead for about 8 times he performs his strategy, he'll hang in the air and shoot lightning at you.
