'''Winged Pikmin''' ({{j|羽ピクミン|Hane Pikumin}}) are a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin type]] that first appears in {{p3}}. They are pink with large blue eyes, their bodies are striped in darker pink, and they have lavender buds and flowers like [[Rock Pikmin]]. Their name comes from the transparent wings on their backs, which allows them to be airborne most of the time. This is particularly useful in combat and while [[carrying]]. Like other main Pikmin types, they are produced in an [[Onion]], and appear in all of the game's modes.

[[File:PinkOnionWeb.png|150px|right|thumb|The Winged Onion trapped in the Arachnode's web.]]
Winged Pikmin are discovered in the [[Twilight River]]. Across a river from where the leaders land is an [[Arachnode]] web, with a Winged Onion trapped in it. Scattered across the area are blue fragments for a large blue bridge, which leads to the opposite shore. Destroying the Arachnode that owns the trap will free the Winged Onion from its grasp. After doing so, it will release a single Winged Pikmin seed, allowing more Pikmin to be propagated. The ideal way to do this is with the [[flukeweed]]s in the Onion's site, and through Pellet Posies on the other sides of small ponds, which both demonstrate the Pikmin's ability to fly. The Winged Pikmin are later used in the area to allow lily pads to flow to the second half of the area. As with other Onions, the Winged Onion merges with the main Onion at the end of the day.

==Mandatory uses==
===Required uses===
{{game help|p3}}
The following tasks require Winged Pikmin to complete, even when glitches or exploits are used.
Winged Pikmin must be used for the collection of the following fruits and the completion of the following tasks. There are no known exploits or ways for other Pikmin to complete these goals.
*Fruits
*Fruits
**{{icon|Velvety Dreamdrop|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]]): It is located under a [[clipboard]] which requires Winged Pikmin to lift.
**{{icon|Astringent Clump|y}} ([[Distant Tundra]]): A [[bamboo gate]] blocks the room containing this fruit.
**{{icon|Velvety Dreamdrop|y}} ([[Tropical Wilds]]): It is located in a cavern underneath the red bridge. When inside the cavern the fruit will be under a [[flukeweed]].
**{{icon|Lesser Mock Bottom|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]]): This fruit is under a [[flukeweed]] which requires Winged Pikmin to lift.
**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} ([[Twilight River]]): This fruit is underneath a flukeweed.
**{{icon|Lesser Mock Bottom|y}} ([[Twilight River]]): This fruit is under a flukeweed.
**{{icon|Lesser Mock Bottom|y}}: Both in the Twilight River and the Garden of Hope, the fruit is under a flukeweed.
**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} (Twilight River): This fruit is underneath a flukeweed.
**{{icon|Astringent Clump|y}}: The one in the Distant Tundra requires that a bamboo gate be lifted.
**{{icon|Velvety Dreamdrop|y}} (Garden of Hope): This fruit is located under a [[clipboard]] which requires Winged Pikmin to lift.

**{{icon|Bamboo gate|y}}: 10 Winged Pikmin are required to lift a bamboo gate.
**{{icon|Bamboo gate|y}}: 10 Winged Pikmin are required to lift a bamboo gate.
**Blue [[Onion]]: The Onion is attached to a [[flukeweed]] that needs to be pulled out.
**{{icon|Dam|y}}: The dam that blocks [[lily pad]]s from flowing down a river in the [[Twilight River]] must be opened by lifting flukeweeds. (This technically makes all 6 fruits in the second half of the area require Winged Pikmin, but this step won't be counted in these lists.)
**{{icon|Dam|y}}: The dam that blocks the [[lily pad]]s in the [[Twilight River]] must be opened with [[flukeweed]]s.
**{{icon|Clipboard|y}}: 8 Winged Pikmin are required to lift clipboards.

==Recommended uses==
Winged Pikmin are recommended for the following tasks, but are not strictly mandatory.


===Recommended uses===
Winged Pikmin are recommended for the following tasks, but are not strictly required.
*Fruits
*Fruits
**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} ([[Tropical Wilds]]): With the one obtained from the [[Calcified Crushblat]], either Winged or [[Blue Pikmin]] must be present to carry the fruit back.
**{{icon|Astringent Clump|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]]): The [[elevator platforms]] are meant to be used, but it is easier to have Winged Pikmin fly up and obtain the fruit.
**{{icon|Stellar Extrusion|y}} (Tropical Wilds): It can be obtained using Yellow Pikmin and the scales in the [[Tropical Wilds]], but it is much easier to obtain by manipulating the camera and swarming Winged Pikmin at it.
**{{icon|Delectable Bouquet|y}} ([[Twilight River]]): The fruit is too high up for Yellow Pikmin to adequately reach until the second half of the area is discovered. Winged Pikmin can easily collect it beforehand.
**{{icon|Astringent Clump|y}} (Garden of Hope): The [[elevator platforms]] are meant to be used, but it is easier to have Winged Pikmin fly up and obtain the fruit.
**{{icon|Dusk Pustules|y}} (Garden of Hope): This fruit normally requires a [[seesaw block]] puzzle to be properly collected, a puzzle that Winged Pikmin can bypass entirely.
**{{icon|Delectable Bouquet|y}} (Twilight River): The fruit is too high up for Yellow Pikmin to adequately reach until the second half of the area is discovered. Winged Pikmin can easily collect it beforehand.
**{{icon|Dusk Pustules|y}} (Twilight River): This fruit is more convenient to obtain with Winged Pikmin, as the paths [[Blue Pikmin]] must take are slower.
**{{icon|Dusk Pustules|y}}: The ones in the [[Twilight River]] are more convenient to obtain with Winged Pikmin, as the paths [[Blue Pikmin]] must take are harder to figure out on first glance. The ones in the [[Garden of Hope]] normally require a scale puzzle to be properly collected, a puzzle that Winged Pikmin bypass entirely.
**{{icon|Face Wrinkler|y}} ([[Distant Tundra]]): This fruit is more convenient to obtain with Winged Pikmin, as the paths [[Blue Pikmin]] must take are slower.
**{{icon|Insect Condo|y|v=FF}}: This fruit is held by a [[Burrowing Snagret]], and Winged Pikmin are very good for fighting the mini-boss.
**{{icon|Portable Sunset|y}} (Twilight River): The safest method of obtaining this requires that a bamboo gate be lifted. Alternatively, three [[Orange Bulborb]]s can be fought.

**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} ([[Tropical Wilds]]): After defeating the [[Calcified Crushblat]] that holds this fruit, either Winged or [[Blue Pikmin]] must be present to carry the fruit back.
**{{icon|Stellar Extrusion|y}} (Distant Tundra): The [[Shaggy Long Legs]] that holds this fruit often steps over water, making charging it with Winged Pikmin a safer way to defeat it. In addition, a bamboo gate blocks the faster route to its arena.
**{{icon|Stellar Extrusion|y}} (Tropical Wilds): This fruit can be obtained using Yellow Pikmin and the scales in the [[Tropical Wilds]], but it is much easier to obtain by manipulating the camera and charging Winged Pikmin at it.

**{{icon|Burrowing Snagret|y|v=P3}}: Although any Pikmin type can be used to defeat [[Burrowing Snagret]]s, Winged Pikmin are the only type that can charge at its head, and by charging at it with a large number of Winged Pikmin, it can be defeated in a few seconds.
**{{icon|Flighty Joustmite|y}}: When airborne, [[charge|charging]] Winged Pikmin at it will send it crashing to the ground.

**{{icon|Scornet|y}}: Winged Pikmin can most easily reach a swarm and take each Scornet out, sometimes before the swarm can even attack.

**{{icon|Scornet Maestro|y}}: Winged Pikmin are needed to ground the creature, although it can be defeated by [[Rock Pikmin]], as they can damage it while it's airborne, whereas all other Pikmin types get shaken off.

Because carrier Winged Pikmin are in constant flight, they have unique carrying properties that differ from the other Pikmin types.

Due to this behavior, and combined with the fact that idle Pikmin are prone to assisting nearby Pikmin who are carrying an item, idle Winged Pikmin are known to "steal" spoils from other types of Pikmin by unintentionally snatching them away from the other Pikmin as they try to fly with it.
