[[White Pikmin]] are the second underground Pikmin and third type of Pikmin found in Pikmin 2. To find the game's first White Pikmin, the player must visit the [[White Flower Garden]] and progress to [[sublevel]] three, where the [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s are. They are smaller than other Pikmin and have red eyes. The poison clouds produced by poison pipes and [[Doodlebug]]s will cause Pikmin to choke, but White Pikmin are immune. These Pikmin can locate buried items on their own, making them essential for unearthing buried treasure. They are also the fastest of the Pikmin, both in carrying items and keeping up with the player. When eaten by an enemy, they poison the enemy and cause it to lose some health; smaller Bulborbs are killed instantly. | [[White Pikmin]] are the second underground Pikmin and third type of Pikmin found in Pikmin 2.
