Talk:Flames

Merge with Sizzling floor

A new article has just been created for the sizzling floor obstacle in Pikmin 4, which functions quite similarly to this obstacle in Hey! Pikmin. While there are a number of differences in how they work, they both have the same essential function of being ground that is on fire that Red Pikmin need to extinguish before other Pikmin can walk on it, and there are other obstacles that work differently between games. Considering the name "Flames" is unofficial and "Sizzling floor" is official, I think we should merge this article into the new one. — Soprano_(talk) 02:05, August 7, 2023 (EDT)

I agree; while they may be different, Sizzling floor is probably the closest official name that we have. — GGabryy_(talk) 14:42, February 27, 2024 (CET)

I agree as well. Also, for the drop-down menu for obstacles, how come Ice block is there. It just redirects to Cold Air. Why is "Purple Pikmin needed" an option on the drop down menu. Somebody should update that menu.

I disagree; although they are very similar, they look and act different. For example, in the 3ds game, Red Pikmin stomp/jump on it to take it out. In P4, Pikmin need to destroy certain objects on it to deflame it. Blowhog Time (talk) 20:16, June 6, 2026 (UTC)

There are other obstacles that work differently between games though, such as fire geysers which can't be destroyed in Pikmin and Pikmin 3 but can be destroyed in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4. Are the differences with this obstacle too significant to consider it to be the same obstacle as the sizzling floor in Pikmin 4? — Soprano_(talk) 10:02, June 11, 2026 (UTC)
