Gate: Difference between revisions

[[File:Cracked crystal wall.jpg|thumb|A crystal wall.]]

'''Crystal walls''' are gate types found only in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and require [[Rock Pikmin]] to break. The gate itself is made of a piece of glass (identified as "[[crystal]]") stuck between 2 clamps, and will crack as Rock Pikmin hit it. Once enough damage has occurred, the wall will shatter altogether rather than break gradually or sink in the ground. The cracks are split in quadrants, and once a quadrant has been damaged enough, the whole structure breaks. As such, hitting the same quadrant repeatedly will take the wall down faster than hitting several quadrants. Although uncertain, it appears that all crystal walls in story mode take 24 direct hits to break if the same quadrant is hit every time, and 28 direct hits if a different quadrant is hit each time. Any crystal gate needs 2 bomb rock explosions in order to shatter, regardless of health value.
