Any inapt Pikmin type that touches water will begin flailing at the surface of the water. They will eventually stop and drown, resulting in a Pikmin death. Pikmin in this state might be saved by [[Whistle|whistling]] them, which will make them slowly move towards the leader and hopefully onto land, or to have an idle Blue Pikmin nearby, as Blues are capable of [[Throw|tossing]] drowning Pikmin onto land in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. | Any inapt Pikmin type that touches water will begin flailing at the surface of the water.

Bodies of water are not the only way Pikmin can suffer from a water hazard. Some enemies have attacks that wet vulnerable Pikmin in such a way that a bubble of water forms around the top of their stem. This is enough to leave them choking and running in panic. If they're whistled in time, they will instantly return to normal, but if not, they will eventually collapse and die. These water attacks will cause damage to [[leader]]s as well, and can knock them down. | Bodies of water are not the only way Pikmin can suffer from a water hazard.

Some bodies of water may cover the way to an important part of the area, where non-Blue Pikmin are needed. These pools might have a [[clog]], which can be destroyed in order to drain the water, a [[bridge]] that can be built and used to cross over, or some [[lily pad]]s can be taken to ride through and across a stream. Alternately, [[Winged Pikmin]] may be used, as they can fly above the surface of the water. | Some bodies of water may cover the way to an important part of the area, where non-Blue Pikmin are needed.
