Blue Pikmin: Difference between revisions

Only the Blue Pikmin, [[Bulbmin]], and [[Winged Pikmin|Winged Pikmin are]] able to safely traverse watery areas; any other color will simply flail around in panic before drowning  (it has been observed, however, that certain [[Mushroom Pikmin]] can traverse water as well as Blue Pikmin can). While in water, the Blue Pikmin behave almost the same as they do on land. If they are idle and see a nearby Pikmin drowning in water, they will quickly run to them, pick them up, and throw them to shore. This action is often called the "Lifeguard Ablility." However, they will not rescue Pikmin if they are a certain distance away, so they can't always be relied on. Blue Pikmin seem to be the most balanced Pikmin species; they have good attack power, durability, mobility and throw distance. As of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Blue Pikmin can swim up to enemies when swarming in the water.
