Hazard: Difference between revisions

Electricity is a dangerous hazard in ''Pikmin 2'', but a non-fatal obstacle in ''Pikmin 3''. Pikmin that get zapped in ''Pikmin 2'' die instantaneously, while Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3'' merely get stunned into a paralysis, until [[whistle]]d back up. ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} electricity stuns Pikmin, but if not whistled back in time, they will die unlike in ''Pikmin 3''. Some enemies and obstacles emit electrical currents, and [[Gate#Electric gate|electric gates]] are constantly electrified. Only [[Yellow Pikmin]], Bulbmin, and Glow Pikmin are immune to electric shocks. Leaders that aren't protected with [[Anti-Electrifier|shock-resistant equipment]] will be damaged and get knocked down to the ground.

Poison is hazardous gas that Pikmin cannot breathe. [[Gas pipe]]s and some enemies emit clouds of poison. Only [[White Pikmin]], Bulbmin, and Glow Pikmin can withstand poison. Since leaders are inside their [[spacesuits]], poison does not affect them.

Ice, or icy mist, is a non-fatal hazard in ''Pikmin 4''. Any Pikmin except [[Ice Pikmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]] will be frozen solid when coming into contact with this mist. As they are left completely immobilized, they are easy prey for creatures until [[whistle]]d. Oatchi can thaw himself out eventually, but the player character must mash the whistle button in order to escape.

[[Waddlepus]]es, [[Peckish Aristocrab]]s, and [[Aristocrab Offspring]], along side [[Bubble Geysers]] can release a stream of bubbles which trap [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[leader]]s. Bubbles that catch anything pop after some time, and all bubbles pop if a thrown Pikmin hits them. In ''Pikmin 3'', bubbles that catch leaders will also pop if the player [[button mashing|mashes]] while controlling that leader. Also in ''Pikmin 3'', [[Winged Pikmin]] can be told to [[charge]] at a bubble, but if too many of them charge it at once, the bubble will rise up to the sky at a quick speed.

Webs are hazards that cause a Pikmin to become stuck. A Pikmin can eventually be freed from a web by whistling to it. So far, [[Arachnode]]s are the only enemy to create hazardous webs. If a Pikmin is caught on a web, the Arachnode will attempt to eat it. If the Arachnode is killed, the web will disappear. Winged Pikmin are especially prone to being caught, as they cannot walk under the web like other Pikmin.
