Blue Pikmin: Difference between revisions

'''Blue Pikmin''' ({{j|青ピクミン|Ao Pikumin}}), as their name implies, are a blue species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] that reside on [[PNF-404]]. This type of Pikmin is present in all game modes of all three [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], and in all of them, it is the last type to be discovered. Besides coloration, these Pikmin are distinguishable from other Pikmin species by their pink mouths, a trait seen in no other Pikmin species. These mouths are used to take in water, which filters oxygen through the gills located on their cheeks. This gives them the astonishing ability to live their lives completely underwater. Producing more Blue Pikmin can be easily done by dragging nutrients or animal carcasses to the blue [[Onion]] or by throwing other species into a [[Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud]]. As with the other main types of Pikmin, their buds and flowers are white.

Only the Blue Pikmin and [[Bulbmin]] can safely traverse [[water]]y 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.

Blue Pikmin are the last species of Pikmin encountered by the player in all games. In ''Pikmin'', Olimar finds the dormant blue Onion in [[The Forest Navel]], which proves to be a big help in the aquatic area, [[The Distant Spring]]. Their Onion is found near the massive stump holding the [[Automatic Gear]], and is located inside a small pond.

**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}}: The one inside the [[Calcified Crushblat]] is closed off by a [[Gate#Dirt wall|dirt wall]] that is completely submerged in water.

**{{icon|Citrus Lump|v=FF|y}}: The one in the [[Twilight River]] is found underwater. Another in the [[Garden of Hope]] is also underwater.

**{{icon|Crunchy Deluge|y}}: Like the Citrus Lump, this fruit is located underwater.

**{{icon|Sunseed Berry|v=FF|y}}: There is one in the [[Garden of Hope]] that is underwater besides a dirt wall.

**{{icon|Sputtlefish|y}}: The Sputtlefish always remains underwater, so it must be defeated by Blue Pikmin.

**{{icon|Puckering Blinnow|y}}: These enemies are underwater enemies.

Blue Pikmin appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U]]'' as kinds of Pikmin that Olimar can pull from the ground via Pikmin Pluck – his standard special move – as well as trophies. They are the only Pikmin that don't drown in water, and are more durable than other types of Pikmin (besides [[Purple Pikmin]]). They also throw opponents the farthest with Olimar's grab attack. They can withstand water moves like Mario's F.L.U.D.D. or Squirtle's water gun. In ''Brawl'', Olimar is most likely to pull up a Blue Pikmin if he is on a water-based surface, such as a cloud or ice.
