Pikmin (game): Difference between revisions

Red Pikmin were the first type of Pikmin that are encountered by Captain Olimar and are found by plucking it from the ground once the Onion becomes active and expels the first seed. They are used to get the [[Main Engine]] since they are the only Pikmin that you first have. Red Pikmin are resistant to fire and are the strongest of all three basic colored Pikmin. Red Pikmin are also distinguished from others by their noticeably long noses, which they use as spikes in battle, giving them a slight edge over Blue and Yellow Pikmin.

Yellow Pikmin are the second Pikmin revealed by Olimar, which was in the [[The Forest of Hope]], the second accessible area in the game. Yellow Pikmin are the only Pikmin with the ability to carry [[bomb-rocks]], and have very large sail-like ears, which they use as glider wings, allowing them to be thrown very high. Yellow Pikmin are known for their ears, and are much lighter than the other Pikmin.

Blue Pikmin are the third and last kind of Pikmin found in the game. They are located in [[The Forest Navel]], the third accessible area in the game. Blue Pikmin are the only species of Pikmin that can move around in bodies of water, thanks to their gills. When non-blue Pikmin fall in the water, blue Pikmin will run to them and throw them out of the water, saving their lives. This is popularly known as the "lifeguard" ability.
