Winged Pikmin may move and [[carry]] objects above the surface of the water, but if thrown into 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 seem to be the most balanced Pikmin species; they have average attack power, durability, mobility, [[digging]] speed and throw distance. Blue Pikmin have very little utility outside of water, as most enemies that pose water hazards can easily be defeated without Blues. | Blue Pikmin seem to be the most balanced Pikmin species; they have average attack power, durability, mobility, [[digging]] speed and throw distance.
