A Red Pikmin in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Red Pikmin are one of the most common colors of Pikmin, and they are the first kind of Pikmin that you get in both games.

The most distinguishing feature of the Red Pikmin is their pointed noses. These Pikmin are immune to fire, making them useful for fighting Fiery Bulblaxs and transporting across fire geysers. They have the most potent attack strength of the original three Pikmin types and are bested only by Purple Pikmin, which first appeared in Pikmin 2. They are good to use in Candypop Buds due to their prevalence throughout both games.
