'''Gates''' are | [[File:P3DX Promo Screenshot 5.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[Winged Pikmin]] lifting up a [[bamboo gate]] in {{p3}}.]] | ||
'''Gates''' (also called '''walls''') are [[obstacle]]s in all [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] that block paths to other sections of an [[area]]. There are several different types of gate in each game, which require different methods to overcome. They serve to either make the player wait before being able to access part of an area (encouraging multitasking), to prevent access to part of an area before unlocking a certain Pikmin type, or to force the player to consider strategy and Pikmin management as they explore an area. | |||
== | ==Bramble gate== | ||

{{main|Bramble gate}} | |||
'''Bramble gates''' are the most basic type of gate in {{p1}} and {{p2}}. Any Pikmin type can damage a bramble gate. They come in white and black colors, with black gates having more health than white gates. Some bramble gates in ''Pikmin 2'' have [[poison emitter]]s inside them and can only be destroyed by [[White Pikmin]] as a result. | |||

[[File:Dirt Wall Closeup P4.jpg|thumb|250px|left|A dirt wall in ''Pikmin 4''.]] | |||
{{main|Dirt wall}} | |||
'''Dirt walls''' are sandcastle-like gates found in {{p3}}, {{p4}}, and {{hp}}. They are the most basic type of gate in these games. These types of gates can be destroyed by any Pikmin type, and as they are damaged, parts of the gate will fall away until they are completely destroyed. | |||

== | ==Reinforced wall== | ||
''' | [[File:Reinforced Wall P4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A reinforced wall in ''Pikmin 4''.]] | ||
{{main|Reinforced wall}} | |||
'''Reinforced walls''' are gates that can only be destroyed with [[bomb rock]]s. Pikmin cannot break these walls on their own. The number of bomb rock explosions needed to destroy a reinforced wall varies by game. | |||

'''[[ | ==Electric gate== | ||
[[File:Electric Gate Closeup P4.jpg|thumb|left|250px|An electric gate in ''Pikmin 4''.]] | |||
{{main|Electric gate}} | |||
'''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. | |||

== | ==Crystal wall== | ||
[[File:Crystal Wall P4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A crystal wall in ''Pikmin 4''.]] | |||
{{main|Crystal wall}} | |||
'''Crystal walls''' are gates in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'' that require [[Rock Pikmin]] to break. They are made of a sheet of glass-like [[crystal]] between two metal clamps. | |||
[[ | {{clear}} | ||
==Ice wall== | |||
[[File:Ice Wall P4.jpg|thumb|left|250px|An ice wall.]] | |||
{{main|Ice wall}} | |||
'''Ice walls''' are gates in ''Pikmin 4'' that are made of an [[Ice|icy]] material. Only [[Ice Pikmin]] can destroy these gates without getting frozen. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
==Bamboo gate== | |||
[[File:Bamboo gate closed P3 screenshot.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A bamboo gate.]] | |||
{{main|Bamboo gate}} | |||
'''Bamboo gates''' are gates made out of bamboo sticks, and are found only in ''Pikmin 3''. They require [[Winged Pikmin]] to open, but unlike other gates, they cannot be opened permanently. They require 10 Winged Pikmin to be holding up the gate to allow passage underneath, and when those Pikmin are whistled off, the bamboo sticks will fall, closing the gate. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
==Numbered gate== | |||
[[File:Numbered Gate P4.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A numbered gate.]] | |||
{{main|Numbered gate}} | |||
'''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. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
==Switch gate== | |||
[[File:Switch Gate P4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A switch gate and its button.]] | |||
{{main|Switch gate}} | |||
'''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. | |||
{{clear}} | |||
==Brick wall== | |||
[[File:Distant Tundra Snow Wall.jpg|thumb|left|250px|One of the brick walls in the Distant Tundra, destroyed.]] | |||
'''Brick walls''' are rare walls in ''Pikmin 3'' that are destroyed by pushing [[iron ball]]s down a slope. They cannot be locked-on to, as there is no other way to destroy them. There are two in [[Story Mode]], both in the [[Distant Tundra]]: | |||
* One at the exit of the cave where [[Brittany]] lands upon first arriving in the Distant Tundra. This wall must be destroyed to exit the cave and start the day properly, without the use of [[Glitches in Pikmin 3|glitches]]. | |||
* One in the northern section of the main area with the [[geyser]]s and [[Arctic Cannon Larva]]e. Destroying the wall gives access to the large cave system where the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] is found. Two leaders must be used to access the ledge where the iron ball can be pushed down from, restricting access to the cave until [[Alph]] and [[Brittany]] are reunited. | |||

== Minor glitch == | |||
[[File:P2 Gate Glitch.jpg|thumb|200px|The submerged part of the gate is still visible beneath the map.]] | |||
{{todo|Move to the glitches articles.}} | |||
In the first two games, a visual glitch that occurs with certain gates allows them to remain visible underground when parts are submerged. Once the entire gate has been torn down, everything appears normal again. This is best seen [[Cave|underground]] in ''Pikmin 2'', and in [[The Forest Navel]] in ''Pikmin''. In the latter case, it is a simple black gate near a [[Fiery Blowhog]] and a [[Pellet Posy]] growing in a pool. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
[[File:Pikmin 3 trial map.jpg|thumb|Concept art for Tropical Forest, with a bramble gate visible between "Area 3" and "Area 4".]] | |||
*In ''Pikmin 3'', Pikmin that are thrown and touch a destroyed gate will perform a celebratory flip and cheer. It is unknown whether this is an oversight or on purpose. | |||
*While bramble gates do not appear in ''Pikmin 3'' as dirt walls replace them, one can be seen in concept art for [[Tropical Forest]], suggesting they were originally planned to return. | |||
