Reinforced wall

A reinforced wall in Pikmin 3.

Reinforced walls (also known as stone walls, rock walls, rock gates or stone gates) are gates that can only be destroyed with bomb rocks. Pikmin cannot break these stone walls on their own; if they are directed to the wall, they will briefly attempt to attack the wall like they would any other gate, before eventually sighing and giving up.

In Pikmin, they look like rudimentary walls made of stone and come in two varieties, white and black. Black walls require more bomb rocks to destroy than white ones. In Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4, reinforced walls seem to be made out of concrete, as pieces of rebar can be seen sticking out of the top. In Pikmin 3 Deluxe, most of these walls have designs featuring thin white lines in the shape of Olimar and some Pikmin.

Health

Every reinforced wall has a health value that gets depleted with bomb rock explosions.

In Pikmin, a bomb rock causes 20 hit points of damage to a reinforced wall. In the entire game, there are only four types of reinforced walls:

Color	Bomb rocks	Health
White	2	24
White	3	48
White	6	120
Black	9	168

Challenge Mode only uses the 24 HP walls, and Story Mode only uses the other types. With the 24 HP walls, the first bomb rock takes the wall down by two out of its three segments.

In Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4, three bomb rocks are required to destroy any reinforced wall, except for one wall in the Battle Enemies! version of Clockwork Chasm that only requires one bomb rock.

Pikmin

Areas

• The Impact Site
  • White, 3 bomb rocks: Towards the northwest, between the tree stump arena and the beach-like area with the Pearly Clamclamps.
• The Forest of Hope
  • White, 3 bomb rocks: In the landing site towards the north.
  • White, 3 bomb rocks: Towards the west, in the section where the Yellow Onion is originally discovered. It is north of that, leading to the thin pathway containing the Whimsical Radar.
  • White, 3 bomb rocks: Towards the west in the section where the Yellow Onion is originally discovered. It is south of that, on the path leading to the cardboard box.
  • Black, 9 bomb rocks: At the end of the thin path north of where the Yellow Onion is originally discovered, past the white reinforced wall. The wall is guarded by multiple Sheargrubs and Dwarf Bulborbs, and it blocks the Extraordinary Bolt from being collected.
• The Forest Navel
  • White, 6 bomb rocks: In the landing site towards the southwest.
  • White, 6 bomb rocks: Towards the far east, blocking the arena where the Beady Long Legs spawns. The wall is adjacent to a black bramble gate and some fire geysers.
  • White, 6 bomb rocks: Slightly southeast of the landing site, next to a black reinforced wall. Each wall requires six bomb-rocks each to be destroyed fully.
  • Black, 9 bomb rocks: Slightly southwest of the landing site, just past the white reinforced wall and next to the climbing stick.
  • Black, 9 bomb rocks: Slightly southeast of the landing site, next to a white reinforced wall.
• The Distant Spring
  • White, 6 bomb rocks: West of the landing site, between two tree stumps.
  • Black, 9 bomb rocks: Slightly northeast of the landing site, allowing for multiple ship parts to be collected quicker.
• The Final Trial

Challenge Mode

• The Impact Site
  • White, 2 bomb rocks: Shares the same location as the one during Story Mode, northwest of the landing site.

  • White, 2 bomb rocks: Towards the north of the area, replacing what would be a black bramble gate during Story Mode. This wall blocks access to the arena containing another Spotty Bulbear, two Bulborbs, and a Pearly Clamclamp.
• The Final Trial
  • White, 2 bomb rocks: Towards the north of the area, slightly southeast of the arena.
  • White, 2 bomb rocks: Towards the north of the area, at the northern end of the arena.
