Onion: Difference between revisions

== Types ==

=== Red Onion ===

The Red Onion is the first [[Onion]] to be discovered in [[Pikmin series|both games]]. In Pikmin, the Red Onion is found at [[The Impact Site]], dormant in the ground not far from where the [[S.S. Dolphin]] crashed. Once awakened, it will release a single Red Pikmin seed which [[Olimar]] can use to harvest nearby red [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] and spawn enough Pikmin to retrieve the [[Main Engine]]. In [[Pikmin 2]], [[Louie]] finds this Onion in the [[Valley of Repose]] when he falls out of [[the Ship]]'s cockpit and gets lost.

=== Yellow Onion ===

The second Onion the player will come across in both games. In Pikmin, it is found dormant in The Forest of Hope amidst several yellow Pellet Posies and free-standing yellow pellets. In Pikmin 2, the Yellow Onion is located in the Perplexing Pool behind a poison gate protected by a Fiery Bulblax, so White Pikmin and Red Pikmin are required to reach it. There are a few yellow Pellet Posies nearby which will not regrow once they've been harvested.  

=== Blue Onion ===

In Pikmin, it can be found in [[The Forest Navel]] in a pool near the landing site, and is the third [[Onion]] the player discovers. Several blue [[Pellet Posies]] are in the immediate vicinity, as well as a free-standing blue 5 [[pellet]]. In [[Pikmin 2]], the blue Onion is located in the [[Awakening Wood]]; although it can be seen relatively early in the game, it lies behind an electric [[gate]], meaning that [[Yellow Pikmin]] from the [[Perplexing Pool]] are required to access it. A small pool blocks the only direct path up to the gate, so the Pikmin must be thrown onto a nearby ledge (while taking care not to disturb the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]] lying in wait there).  The [[Captain]] can then walk around through some water to reach them, and order them to defeat the beast and demolish the gate, allowing him to find the game's first 5 Blue Pikmin.
