Purple Pikmin: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Purple Pikmin have the shortest throw distance and the smallest grab range. When thrown at an enemy, rather than latching on, purples will deliver a blow with knockback, stopping the opponent in his or her tracks. Purple Pikmin are also the only Pikmin that will be plucked by Olimar in the in-game ''Home-Run Contest''.

Retrieval of the [[Doomsday Apparatus]] treasure in [[Pikmin 2]] requires the use of 100 Purple Pikmin. The best place to get so many would be the [[Subterranean Complex]]. Take a single Pikmin into that cave and skip sublevels until you reach the eighth one, with an [[Geyser|exit geyser]], Candypop Buds and some [[eggs]]. Use the [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s first and the Violet Candypop Buds after to produce 15 Purple Pikmin and 2 [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]] or [[Yellow Pikmin]]. Or, if you are also going for [[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/White_pikmin|white pikmin]], bring 16 pikmin and throw 15 of them into the 3 [[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Ivory_Candypop_Bud|ivory(white)candypop buds]] to gain 15 [[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/White_pikmin|white pikmin]]. When you reach the 7th floor, throw the last non-white pikmin into a queen candypop bud first and the Violet Candypop Buds after to produce 15 Purple Pikmin and 2 [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]] or [[Yellow Pikmin]].
