Winged Pikmin: Difference between revisions
→Reccomended uses: The Hoop of healing is also next to walkable mud, saying that you Need them is like saying you Need winged pikmin for the gold nuggets also in the sublevel. Also fixed the bird treasure.
(added several new or changed winged pikmin mechanics and corrected the functionality of winged pikmin's carry speed in pikmin 3. as a note - winged pikmin are in fact thrown slightly higher than other types in Pikmin 4, this is mentioned in the games code and is visable when tested ingame) Tag: Disambiguation links |

Due to their constant airborne status, they can follow leaders more smoothly, as they can fly over obtrusions on the terrain, over [[water]], or over [[pit]]s. There are a few disadvantages, however. It's harder for them to take down small Pellet Posies (but still possible, with careful aim{{cite youtube|oMe5bryGCko|demonstrating how Winged Pikmin can still take down Pellet Posies}} or by throwing from below), and if their [[leader]] is underwater they cannot be [[throw]]n at all. They are also weaker than other Pikmin types in terms of attack power, but the fact that they can fly makes fighting airborne enemies and targeting specific weak points in larger enemies more convenient. Contrary to popular belief, Winged Pikmin do not cause more damage to flying enemies. | Due to their constant airborne status, they can follow leaders more smoothly, as they can fly over obtrusions on the terrain, over [[water]], or over [[pit]]s.

Because carrier Winged Pikmin are in constant flight, they have unique carrying properties that differ from the other Pikmin types. | Because carrier Winged Pikmin are in constant flight, they have unique carrying properties that differ from the other Pikmin types. | ||
When carrying an object, Winged Pikmin will fly with it through the air, making it difficult to call them back with the ground [[whistle]]. Instead, they must be called by holding {{button|wii|b|wiiu|zr|wiiu|pcr}}, which will eventually summon a cylindrical beam of light that will call the Winged Pikmin, or by simpling whistling while aiming at the object they are carrying.

As stated, Winged Pikmin are capable of flying over obstacles, but are considerably slow whilst carrying if there are more than 66 Pikmin on the field. This can cause traffic in groups of Pikmin trying to return spoils to base, as Winged Pikmin slowly carrying an object in the front of the line will cause the rest of the Pikmin to get held up behind them. | ||
If multiple types of Pikmin are carrying something that a Winged Pikmin is also carrying, the Winged Pikmin will carry it closer to the ground and will not fly with it. However, if the number of Winged Pikmin carrying is the number of Pikmin required to lift the object, they will lift it into the air, causing any ground-based Pikmin trying to carry the object to let go or to cling on for a few seconds before falling off. | If multiple types of Pikmin are carrying something that a Winged Pikmin is also carrying, the Winged Pikmin will carry it closer to the ground and will not fly with it.

While no treasure or obstacle require Winged Pikmin, there are several uses they are highly recommended for, as they can only be bypassed through glitches and exploits without them. | While no treasure or obstacle require Winged Pikmin, there are several uses they are highly recommended for, as they can only be bypassed through glitches and exploits without them. | ||
* {{icon|Straight-and-Narrow Track|v=P4|y}} ([[Ultimate Testing Range]]): On a lower ledge, there is no path grounded Pikmin types can use to carry it out. Oatchi also cannot carry it back without using exploits in his pathing. | * {{icon|Straight-and-Narrow Track|v=P4|y}} ([[Ultimate Testing Range]]): On a lower ledge, there is no path grounded Pikmin types can use to carry it out.

===Reccomended uses=== | |||
These treasures or obstacles do not necessarily require Winged Pikmin, but the resources or time spent to use any other type can be extreme or otherwise cumbersome. | |||
* {{icon|Skin of the Phoenix|y|v=P4}} ([[The Mud Pit]]): This treasure is found submerged in a [[Mud|Bottomless Swamp]], it is physically impossible for any type besides Winged Pikmin to grab onto it in this state. To forgo using them, the mud can be frozen using 100 Ice Pikmin, the treasure then must be slowly pushed out of the Swamp using Oatchi's Rush several times, either from the ice or from the bridge. | |||
* {{icon|Sweat-Soaked Blue Bird|y|v=P4}} ([[The Mud Pit]]): Ditto. | |||
