Pikmin [[carrying]] objects have their attributes changed in a different way. In ''Pikmin 2'', all the spray does is make the Pikmin behave as if they are flower Pikmin, meaning that spraying a group that is already all flowers is a complete waste. If the effects of the spray wear off while the Pikmin are carrying the object, they will continue carrying at the same speed as if they were powered up, until they deliver the object or drop it. This makes this exploit particularly useful when retrieving the [[Doomsday Apparatus]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', it sets the Pikmin to the same carrying speed as a standard-type flower Pikmin, meaning that White Pikmin actually become slower carriers. In this game, the previously mentioned exploit with the timer running out mid-carrying does not exist. | Pikmin [[carrying]] objects have their attributes changed in a different way.

Technically, any Pikmin type's attack power is changed to 10 (in both games), and their attack and [[obstacle]]-clearing speed increases to around 180%. This means that [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]], and [[Rock Pikmin]] experience a decrease in power, while [[Winged Pikmin]] benefit greatly from being sprayed, as well as [[White Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 3''. | Technically, any Pikmin type's attack power is changed to 10 (in both games), and their attack and [[obstacle]]-clearing speed increases to around 180%.

If the spray button is pressed while there are no Pikmin in the current leader's party, nothing will happen, and no spray will be deducted from the total. If Pikmin are told to go inside an [[Onion]], they will lose their spicy status. | If the spray button is pressed while there are no Pikmin in the current leader's party, nothing will happen, and no spray will be deducted from the total.

In both games, if the player sprays an already spicy Pikmin, the duration of the spray will be reset. In ''Pikmin 2'', the first time in a [[saved game]] the player uses a spray will trigger a [[cutscene]], but the spray's duration counter will continue to go down during it, meaning the player will have less time to enjoy the spray with after the cutscene is over. In ''Pikmin 3'', this has been fixed, in that the timer only starts going down when the cutscene is finished or skipped. | In both games, if the player sprays an already spicy Pikmin, the duration of the spray will be reset.
