White Pikmin: Difference between revisions

'''White Pikmin''' are found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', where they are the third type of [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] found. They are produced through [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s, the first of which are in the [[White Flower Garden]]. Like [[Purple Pikmin]], their flowers are pink rather than white. They are not found in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', and they are only found in the [[Mission Mode]] of ''[[Pikmin 3]]''.

These Pikmin are smaller than other types of Pikmin. They have red eyes devoid of pupils, that allow them to locate treasures that are completely buried underground, which is demonstrated shortly after collecting them. They are the fastest of all Pikmin, such that, when flowered, they run at least as quickly as [[Captain]]s equipped with [[Rush Boots]]. White Pikmin are also immune to [[hazards#Poison gas|poison]], allowing them to destroy poison pipes and walk through poisonous emissions. Also, they release toxic secretions when eaten, and in doing so deal heavy damage to their predator. However, this does not prevent their death, leaving this ability as a last resort. Interestingly, these Pikmin attack and down [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] faster than either [[Yellow Pikmin]] or [[Blue Pikmin]]. Each attack does the same amount of damage, but the White Pikmin attacks faster.

Below is a list of how many White Pikmin certain enemies must eat so that they die from poison. The numbers indicate how many White Pikmin are needed when they are eaten at the same time.

*While carrying an object, White Pikmin will become slightly larger, about as large as any other Pikmin type. They revert to their original size once they stop carrying said object. This will occur in both ''Pikmin 2'' and ''New Play Control! Pikmin 2''.
