Sprinkler

Sprinklers are obstacles in Pikmin 4 that rain down a water hazard constantly. They tend to block the player from being able to go to certain areas without either turning the sprinkler off or bringing blue pikmin to retrieve whatever is near it. They resemble real life sprinklers, but have a mostly blue exterior. When active, water can be seen spewing out of the sprinkler, which can give the ground around it a wet appearance. The wet ground acts as a visual representation of the sprinklers range and area of effect. Some sprinklers can be turned off (or on) with the use of clay valves. The only case that a sprinkler is used to truly help the player is in Below-Grade Discotheque sublevel 4. In this sublevel, the player must extinguish a sizzling floor by finding the clay valve, building it, and turning it to activate the sprinkler. It will extinguish the sizzling floor and will turn off by itself.
