Only the Blue Pikmin and [[Bulbmin]] can safely traverse watery areas; any other type will simply flail around in panic before drowning. Winged Pikmin may move and [[carry]] objects above the surface of the water, but if thrown onto a pool, they will not be able to swim. 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. However, they will not rescue Pikmin if they are a certain distance away, so they can't always be relied on. In ''Pikmin 3'', this feature was removed, and Blue Pikmin now also have the ability to swim freely while in pursuit, something necessary to reach some [[Enemy|enemies]] that lie above the ground level.
