(Merged. Didn't pass the video (it's gone), nor the Pikmin 3 info, because it's very short. I'll get around to fully documenting P3's extinctions soon.) |

:''What exactly are these Pikmin? One could classify them as both plant and animal. They mature from leaf, to bud, and finally to blossom. When all of one color are lost, the Onion instinctively puts out new seeds... How does it know to do this? What a mysterious life-form!'' | :''What exactly are these Pikmin?

In ''Pikmin 2'', if all Pikmin the player brought in a cave are lost, a Pikmin extinction is declared. The leader(s) are returned to the surface, and, provided they still have Pikmin in the area, can continue on with the day. Otherwise, a total extinction takes place. White and Purple Pikmin are not affected by partial extinctions, given their unique method of birth. | In ''Pikmin 2'', if all Pikmin the player brought in a cave are lost, a Pikmin extinction is declared.

Through the use of a [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Instant Pikmin extinction|glitch in ''Pikmin 2'']], it's possible to have the game instantly declare a Pikmin extinction while on a cave. It involves tricking the game into letting the captains inside a cave with 0 Pikmin, which requires entering the cave and dismissing the Pikmin at the exact same time. | |||
==In 2-Player Battle and Bingo Battle== | |||
In [[2-Player Battle]] and [[Bingo Battle]], a Pikmin extinction is another way for a player to win. Should any player lose all of their Pikmin, a Pikmin extinction is declared, and the other wins. This is usually hard to attempt, and usually has to do with the falling rocks power-up, as they are capable of killing many Pikmin at a time. It can also involve [[Bomb Rocks]], [[Volatile Dweevil]]s, and Mines, as these cause massive explosions if unaware. | |||
Interestingly, in 2-Player Battle, a Pikmin extinction occurs if one player has one Pikmin left and it is killed by the opposing player's Pikmin, despite the fact that a Pikmin will be reborn at the player's Onion if it is killed by another Pikmin. It is unknown if this occurs in Bingo Battle. | |||

*If there are 100 Pikmin on the field, the [[Onion]] will instead keep the new seeds inside. This can only happen if the day after the extinction begins on an area with 100 buried Pikmin <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Lf8Z50ByBA YouTube video], showing the Onion's behavior on a field with 100 Pikmin, by user TRex Quisite</ref> | *If there are 100 Pikmin on the field, the [[Onion]] will instead keep the new seeds inside.
