Red Pikmin: Difference between revisions

Red Pikmin also exhibit an immunity to [[fire]], in that they ignore the heat whereas other Pikmin (besides [[Bulbmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]]) would have their leaf, bud, or flower catch on fire and run off in a panic. According to Olimar's notes in the Pikmin 4 Piklopedia, this is because their skin and muscle fibers are made up of a flame-resistant cellulose. This ability is most useful in ''Pikmin 4'', due to the presence of [[fire starter]]s that only they can pick up and [[sizzling floor]]s that only they can extinguish. It is also useful in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 3'' due to the fact that [[fire geyser]]s are indestructible and [[Fiery Blowhog]]s are prevalent. Their ability is less useful in ''Pikmin 2'', where the geysers can be destroyed by any Pikmin, and Fiery Blowhogs can easily be defeated with [[Purple Pikmin]]. Their main use in the second game is for defeating [[Fiery Bulblax]]es, though this task doesn't always require them. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they act just like in all other games, except they also have the ability to stomp out [[flames]], allowing Olimar or other Pikmin safe passage. And [[Hey! Pikmin]]

In {{p1}}, Red Pikmin are the first type of Pikmin ever discovered by [[Captain Olimar]]. They are discovered in [[The Impact Site]], along with their Onion, just a short walk away from the landing site. When the dormant Onion wakes up and ejects a seed, and [[Olimar]] plucks the seed, it marks the first time Olimar ever sees a Pikmin. Here, at least 20 Red Pikmin must be grown in order to carry back the [[Main Engine]], so that Olimar can exit the planet's surface during the night. However, it's possible to grow up to 25 Red Pikmin on the first day. 25 2 50 2 75 2 100 2 100+

In {{p2}}, the first Red Pikmin are found by Captain Olimar, immediately after landing on the planet. There are 5 Pikmin fighting a [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Red Bulborb]] in the [[Valley of Repose]] right next to where Olimar lands. Whistling them gives Olimar control over them, which he uses to defeat the enemy. After this, once [[Louie]] has regained consciousness, he walks a short distance and finds the Red Onion. From there, Louie builds up the population in order to crush a [[paper bag]] separating him from Olimar, and from then on, the leaders are united.

In {{p3}}, the story begins with [[Charlie]] discovering [[Yellow Pikmin]] and ending up captured by the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. After this prologue, [[Alph]] wakes up in a small puddle at the [[Tropical Wilds]]. He walks a short distance before seeing a Red Pikmin, which surprises both of them. After walking a bit more, he finds three wild Red Pikmin trying to free their Onion from a branch. Alph [[throw]]s the Pikmin at it and succeeds in freeing it. He then proceeds to grow his army up to 20 (21 if the one sitting on the pot is obtained), so that he can push the [[cardboard box]] and get back to the [[S.S. Drake]], as well as try to rescue [[Brittany]]. Although Yellow Pikmin are seen first, Red Pikmin are the first type to have their Onion discovered, and thus, formally introduced.

**{{icon|Pyroclasmic Slooch|y}}: The Pyroclasmic Slooch is a slug that is cloaked in [[Fire|flames]]. By luring one into water, however, its flames temporarily go out while it remains in the water, and can be attacked by any Pikmin type. Other than that, [[Rock Pikmin]] deal impact damage to Slooches even if they are cloaked in fire, although the player should [[whistle]] them right afterwards to save them. There is also a [[Pyroclasmic Slooch#Glitch|glitch]] that allows other types of Pikmin to attack a Slooch without catching fire. With No [[Red Pikmin]] You Can't Deafeat A [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]]

In {{p4}}, Red Pikmin are discovered in the tutorial on day 1, but not straight away. After the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] lands, they first find [[Oatchi]], rescue [[Collin]], make their way through the [[Burrow of Beginnings]] and rescue [[Shepherd]], and make it to the landing site of the [[Rescue Command Post]]. There, the Red Onion is found buried in the ground, and after digging it up with Oatchi and pulling it to the landing site, the Onion springs into action and releases a single Red Pikmin seed, which the player can pluck to start growing a squad.

There are many items in ''Pikmin 4'' that require the use of Red Pikmin to collect. This is due to the existence of [[sizzling floor]]s, obstacles that can only be destroyed by Red Pikmin, and [[fire starter]]s, tools that can only be carried by Red Pikmin.
