Red Pikmin carrying fire starters cannot ride [[Oatchi]] unless held, and appear separately from other Red Pikmin in the [[HUD]] to allow the player to select one to throw. Fire starters have a time limit before they burn up and disappear, but can be thrown an unlimited number of times within this period, provided the Pikmin isn't ordered to do something that ends up destroying the fire starter. The time limit is represented by a circular [[health]] wheel above the fire starter, and another on the standby Pikmin HUD indicator, which steadily deplete over time. If a fire starter Pikmin is thrown at the floor, it will drop the fire starter, which can be picked up again by throwing another Red Pikmin at it. Non-Red Pikmin will not burn on contact with a dropped fire starter, and will remain idle if ordered to pick one up.

Throwing a Red Pikmin at a bonfire altar to pick up the fire starter on it will mean there is no fire starter on the bonfire altar until that fire starter burns up and disappears. Extinguished altars can be lit by throwing a fire starter at them, which will light it aflame permanently and make a new fire starter appear on it. Lighting a bonfire altar will also reset the time limit on the fire starter used to light it. Since each altar is responsible for one fire starter, if the player can manage to visit several in time, they can obtain multiple fire starters. The standby Pikmin HUD indicator's health wheel will reflect the fire starter in the squad with the least time remaining. | Throwing a Red Pikmin at a bonfire altar to pick up the fire starter on it will mean there is no fire starter on the bonfire altar until that fire starter burns up and disappears.

Throwing a fire starter at frozen [[hydro jelly]] | Throwing a fire starter at frozen [[hydro jelly]], [[ice wall]]s and [[Hazard_generator#Ice_vent|ice vents]] will instantly destroy them. In either case the fire starter disappears, and in the case of the ice wall, it is possible for the Pikmin to become frozen. | ||
Some bonfire altars have hydro jellies on top of them, and the hydro jelly must be destroyed before the altar can be used. If the hydro jelly is frozen, throwing a fire starter at it will melt it instantly but also destroy the fire starter, meaning another fire starter must be used to light the bonfire altar. | Some bonfire altars have hydro jellies on top of them, and the hydro jelly must be destroyed before the altar can be used.
