+'''Obstacles''' are interactive objects that stand in the way of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[leader]]s. Some obstacles can be destroyed by having Pikmin [[Combat|attack]] them, some can be overcome through the use of [[tool]]s, and some cannot be destroyed at all and must be worked around. With creative use, some of these obstacles can end up helping the player in unique ways when they are cleared, like a [[cardboard box]] initially being pushed to get out of the way, but also ending up next to a ramp to serve as a makeshift bridge. In this sense, some obstacles can partially serve as tools in and of themselves.

-An '''obstacle''' is anything that stops the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and the [[leader]]s from reaching a certain place until it has been cleared. There are several obstacles of different types scattered across the [[area]]s of all games, and usually, the Pikmin must work together to clear them effectively.

+==Minor obstacles==
+{{main|Minor obstacles}}
+Several other kinds of obstacles appear in the ''Pikmin'' series, but are much rarer than the obstacles listed above.
+==Trivia==
+*In {{p2}}, Pikmin that are attacking an obstacle while latched on will cause damage at a faster pace than those that are standing on the ground.{{cite youtube|Q6BR1jGGVvk|showing how latched Pikmin are faster than standing Pikmin, in ''Pikmin 2''}} This can be achieved with bridges by pushing the Pikmin off to the side and letting it go back to the bridge on its own, where it should hopefully cling on instead.
