All Pikmin types can unearth objects at any depth in ''Pikmin 3'', removing the White Pikmin's exclusive digging ability. [[Yellow Pikmin]] have been given an extra trait, though, in that they can dig out objects faster than other types. In this game, Yellow Pikmin can dig out twice as fast as [[Blue Pikmin]], four times as fast as White Pikmin and [[Winged Pikmin]], and 1,5 time as fast as [[Purple Pikmin]] and [[Red Pikmin]]. Also, [[bomb rock]]s explosions can also help dig out buried items, but they don't affect spacesuit [[upgrade]]s. [[Flukeweed]]s can also be used to pull out objects under the ground, but that does not involve the digging ability Pikmin possess.

The data file on digging.

To do:

  • Find exactly how much faster Yellow Pikmin are in Pikmin 3.
  • Get the amount of time it takes to dig out stuff in each game (seconds per Pikmin), and if different for each item, specify the differences.
  • Specify how many Pikmin can dig something at the same time, for each game.
  • Check if the Geographic Projection counts as an always semi-buried treasure.

Digging is an ability Pikmin have in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3. Pikmin can both dig out something in the ground, or dig their way in some holes.

Digging out objects

Some objects may be partially or completely buried under the ground, and before they can be carried, they must first be completely unearthed by using the Pikmin. The more Pikmin digging out an object at once, the faster it is dug.

In Pikmin 2, treasure that is completely underground does not have any obvious indicator of its presence. Only White Pikmin have the ability to detect this type of treasure, and when they're told to work on the spot the collectible is at, they will begin slowly digging it out until it peaks to the surface, at which point other types of Pikmin may help. The only way a player has to tell that there's treasure in that location is with the Treasure Gauge, or by having White Pikmin scan the floor with the group move mechanic. It should be noted that in this game, White Pikmin automatically start digging a buried item (whether it is partially or completely buried) without the player's consent; this does not apply to other Pikmin types.

In Pikmin 3, all Pikmin types can unearth objects at any depth, removing the White Pikmin's exclusive digging ability. Yellow Pikmin have been given an extra trait, though, in that they can dig out objects faster than other types. Also in this game, bomb rock explosions can help dig out buried items, but they don't affect spacesuit upgrades. Flukeweeds can also be used to pull out objects under the ground, but that does not involve the digging ability Pikmin possess.

Digging into holes

In Pikmin 3, there are two hole obstacles that Pikmin can dig their way through. Dirt mounds are entrances to underground burrows that contain items and tunnels are pathways covered in rubble that can be dug out to allow passage.

List of buried objects

In Pikmin 2, whether a treasure is buried or partially buried is actually a property of the treasure itself and not its locations; the treasure will always have this trait no matter where it is generated.

Fully buried treasures

In Pikmin 2, these treasures are always fully buried and require White Pikmin to obtain:

Partially buried treasures

The following treasures are always partially buried and can have any Pikmin obtain them:

Pikmin 3 buried objects

In story mode, fruits and pellets are always partially buried while spacesuit upgrades are always fully buried and create a lump in the ground where they are located. This list applies to story mode only.
