Bosses of Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland

In Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, bosses are discovered at the end of dungeons much like previous games in the Legend of Zelda series. These bosses appear inside giant chests that Tingle must also jump into. Unlike other enemies, bosses are battled in special ways and often give Tingle a health meter instead of a rupee meter; losing all of his health will dump Tingle back outside of the chest with a deduction to his funds.

Death Bug

Known as the Beetle Lord, the Death Bug is encountered at the end of the Hero's Shrine in Hometown Prairie. It is an enormous creature that spits out larvae and sparks to attack for it. Its weak point is an odd, humanoid face located between its eyes.

For this battle, Tingle is flying around the room via 9 balloons on his back, while Teddy Todo will run around the room and kill the offending larvae. Tingle must grab bombs from the bomb plants scattered around the room and toss them at the face three times to defeat the creature; however, if he loses all of his balloons, he will be thrown out of the chest.

After hitting the face three times, Teddy Todo will spring into action and hip-drop the weak point, finishing the bug off. Tingle and Teddy Todo can then collect the large rupee shards that were embedded in its body. Tingle will also receive the Metal Rupee after they leave the chest.
