Renaming "gas pipe" to "poison emitter"
(Split the article. Articles about each type of gate have been created over the last few weeks, and this article now links to each of them rather than covering all types of gate on the same page.) |

'''Electric gates''' carry an [[Electricity|electrical current]]. As such, Pikmin that are not [[Yellow Pikmin]] cannot touch them, under the risk of death (''Pikmin 2''), temporary paralysis (''Pikmin 3''), or a combination of both (''Pikmin 4''). Other than that, they can be taken down just like any other type of gate. | '''Electric gates''' carry an [[Electricity|electrical current]].

'''Numbered gates''' are gates that open once a certain number of nearby objectives have been cleared. These objectives are most often defeating nearby [[Enemy|enemies]]. They are made of metal and have a dot-matrix display on the side for showing a 2-digit number. This number counts down as those objectives are met, and once it reaches 0, the gate opens by lowering into the ground. | '''Numbered gates''' are gates that open once a certain number of nearby objectives have been cleared.

'''Switch gates''' are gates in ''Pikmin 4'' that can be either raised (blocking a path) or lowered (allowing passage), and are toggled with [[switch]]es. There are three types: '''white gates''' can be lowered with single-button switches and cannot be raised afterwards, and '''red gates''' and '''blue gates''' can be toggled between their raised and lowered states with 2-button switches. | '''Switch gates''' are gates in ''Pikmin 4'' that can be either raised (blocking a path) or lowered (allowing passage), and are toggled with [[switch]]es.
