 ===Required uses===
-Blue Pikmin are required to collect these fruits or defeat these enemies, and there are no glitches or exploits that allow other Pikmin types to do so.
+Blue Pikmin are meant to be used to obtain numerous different fruits and defeat many enemies, but as a result of Pikmin 3’s many [[Glitches in Pikmin 3|glitches]] and exploits, they are now only needed for one objective:
+*{{icon|Wayward Moon|y}}: A pot-shaped bridge with some of its fragments underwater must be built to access the boss that contains the fruit normally, but [[Sequence break#Early Quaggled Mireclops|sequence-breaking techniques]] can be used to bypass the building of this bridge and collect the fruit with [[Winged Pikmin]]. However, an invisible wall will block off the path to the arena until at least one Blue Pikmin has been plucked. Once this Pikmin is plucked, the entire game can be completed without any further need of Blue Pikmin.
+===Near-required uses===
+{{game help|p3|Confirm whether or not Puckering Blinnows are vulnerable to attack by other types of Pikmin when jumping out of the water. If not, change their section to state they are another case of needing to use invincible Pikmin glitch.}}
+Blue Pikmin are intended to be used to collect these fruits and defeat these enemies, but through the use of glitches, exploits, or tricks, the fruits can be collected without them.
 *Fruits
-**{{icon|Citrus Lump|v=FF|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]]): The fruit is fully submerged in water next to the [[metal box]].
+**{{icon|Citrus Lump|v=FF|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]]): The fruit is fully submerged in water next to the [[metal box]], but can be retrieved by employing the [[Glitches in Pikmin 3#Invincible Pikmin|invincible Pikmin glitch]] with a [[Fiery Blowhog]].
-**{{icon|Portable Sunset|y}} ([[Distant Tundra]]): This fruit is on a low branch above a pool of water. Upon throwing 8 Pikmin on it, it will fall into the water. Winged Pikmin can also be used to detach the fruit, but it'll land in the water regardless.
+**{{icon|Citrus Lump|v=FF|y}} ([[Twilight River]]): The fruit is fully submerged in water near the landing site. However, using the invincible Pikmin glitch with a [[Skeeterskate]], it is possible to collect it with Winged Pikmin.
-**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} ([[Tropical Wilds]]): The fruit is held by a [[Calcified Crushblat]], and to access the enemy, an underwater [[Gate#Dirt wall|dirt wall]] must be destroyed.
+**{{icon|Crunchy Deluge|y}}: Like the previous Citrus Lump, this fruit is located underwater at the far end of the [[Twilight River]], and can be collected in the same way, though it notably takes 10 Pikmin to carry, the most out of any fruit that requires the invincible Pikmin glitch to retrieve without Blues.
-**{{icon|Sunseed Berry|v=FF|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]], near the Blue Onion): This fruit is fully underwater next to a dirt wall.
+**{{icon|Portable Sunset|y}} ([[Distant Tundra]]): This fruit is on a low branch above a pool of water. Upon throwing 8 Pikmin on it, it will fall into the water. Winged Pikmin can also be used to detach the fruit, but it'll land in the water regardless. It can then be retrieved by using the invincible Pikmin glitch with a [[Fire geyser|fire geyser]], Fiery Blowhog, [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]], or Skeeterskate.
+**{{icon|Scaly Custard|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]]): The fruit is within a [[Peckish Aristocrab]] on an area of land that can only be reached by building a pot-shaped bridge with some of its fragments underwater. However, using [[Sequence break#Early Quaggled Mireclops|a sequence break]], it is possible to bypass the building of this bridge and collect the fruit with Winged Pikmin.
+**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]], inside the crystal): Normally, a bridge must be built using fragments, some of which are underwater, but it is possible to build half the bridge and throw [[Rock Pikmin]] and Winged Pikmin across the gap, allowing the crystal to be broken and the fruit to be carried back.
+**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} ([[Tropical Wilds]]): The fruit is held by a [[Calcified Crushblat]], and to access the enemy, an underwater [[Gate#Dirt wall|dirt wall]] must be destroyed. This can be done with any type of Pikmin by using the invincible Pikmin glitch.
+**{{icon|Sunseed Berry|v=FF|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]], near the Blue Onion): This fruit is fully underwater next to a dirt wall, but can be collected by using Winged Pikmin via the invincible Pikmin glitch with any of the area’s [[fire]] hazards.
 *Enemies
-**{{icon|Puckering Blinnow|y}}: These enemies always remain underwater, so they must be defeated by Blue Pikmin.
+**{{icon|Puckering Blinnow|y}}: These enemies usually remain underwater, but can briefly harmed if they jump out to snatch a Winged Pikmin.
-**{{icon|Sputtlefish|y}}: These enemies are also underwater enemies.
+**{{icon|Sputtlefish|y}}: These enemies are also underwater enemies, and can only be defeated without Blue Pikmin by employing the invincible Pikmin glitch.
-**{{icon|Toady Bloyster|v=P3|y}}: These enemies are always found underwater in Story Mode.
+**{{icon|Toady Bloyster|v=P3|y}}: These enemies are always found underwater in Story Mode, but can be slowly taken out with a leader’s [[Punch|punches]].

(Note that at least 1 Blue Pikmin must be plucked to remove an invisible wall before the boss arena, but that Pikmin doesn't have to be used after that.)

 *Fruits
 **{{icon|Cupid's Grenade|v=FF|y}} ([[Tropical Wilds]]): The fruit is on a small island surrounded by water. It is possible to [[charge]] a [[Winged Pikmin]] towards the fruit, but it is easier to throw a Blue Pikmin onto it.

 **{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]], inside the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]]): Blue Pikmin and Winged Pikmin are the only types capable of accessing this mini-boss on an island, and while it can be defeated with just Winged Pikmin, Blue Pikmin are better for combat.
 **{{icon|Slapstick Crescent|y}}: Only Blue Pikmin and Winged Pikmin can dig out and carry this fruit, and Blue Pikmin are faster at digging. Alternatively, a [[bomb rock]] can be used to unearth the fruit.
-**{{icon|Stellar Extrusion|y}} ([[Distant Tundra]]): The fruit is held by a [[Shaggy Long Legs]] which frequently steps over water. Blue Pikmin are recommend to avoid Pikmin losses from the water. In addition, it's possible for the fruit to drop in positions where only Blue Pikmin can retrieve it, so they are also recommended for that reason.
+**{{icon|Stellar Extrusion|y}} ([[Distant Tundra]]): The fruit is held by a [[Shaggy Long Legs]] which frequently steps over water. Rock or Winged Pikmin are far more efficient and safe attackers, but having 10 Blue Pikmin on standby is recommended in case the fruit falls into the water after defeating the beast.
 **{{icon|Zest Bomb|y}} ([[Tropical Wilds]]): This fruit is held by a [[Peckish Aristocrab]] that normally walks in a pool of water. It is possible to defeat the enemy such that it drops the fruit over land, however.
