An obstacle is anything that stops the Pikmin and the leaders from reaching a certain place until it has been cleared. There are several obstacles of different types scattered across the areas of all games, and usually, the Pikmin must work together to clear them effectively.

Types of obstacles

  • Bridge: Unbuilt bridges can be found on the ledge of some gaps, and Pikmin must build the bridge in order to pass through.
  • Cardboard box: Cardboard boxes block the path to certain areas, and must be pushed out of the way with a minimum number of Pikmin.
  • Climbing Stick: Sticks used to climb to higher places. They must be extended first.
  • Clog: Some pools of water can be drained by destroying clogs.
  • Gate: Gates act like walls, completely blocking off an area. They can be torn down in a gradual process, until they're fully opened.
  • Geyser: Water geysers in the first Pikmin game allow access to newer areas, but must first be activated with Pikmin.
  • Iron Ball: Large spheres that can be pushed by a certain number of Pikmin, until they roll off a cliff.
  • Paper bag: Paper bags that can have Pikmin thrown on top. When enough Pikmin are on top of one, it collapses and allows passage.
  • Scale: Scales come in pairs, and when enough weight is applied onto one, the other rises.
