 Purple Pikmin are strangely not affected by the hormones that [[Mitite]]s release, making them the perfect way to extinguish them. Another interesting ability of the Purples is that they rarely stumble while traveling. Other [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] will occasionally trip and continue moving in one direction for a little bit before returning to the rest of the pack, but Purples rarely stumble, and when they do, they move about half as far as any other species. This may be due to their intense weight preventing them from falling easily.
-These Pikmin possess the strange ability to anchor extra-dimensional entities such as the [[Waterwraith]] to this dimension for a brief period, and although this has never been explained in detail, it is likely another effect of their heavy weight.
+Purple Pikmin are also required to defeat the [[Wraterwraith]], the boss of the [[Submerged Castle]] in ''Pikmin 2''.
 In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Purple Pikmin have the shortest throw distance and the smallest grab range. When thrown at an enemy, rather than latching on, purples will deliver a blow with knockback, stopping the opponent in his or her tracks. They are the most durable Pikmin of all and deliver the highest amount of knockback in Olimar's smashes and aerial attacks. Purple Pikmin are also the only Pikmin that will be plucked by Olimar in the ''Home-Run Contest''.
