In the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]], small geysers can be found in various locations throughout each of the five areas, except [[The Forest of Hope]]. Geysers are usually inactive, resembling little more than rocky protrusions from the ground, and must be unblocked by directing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] towards them. An exception to this rule is a geyser in a hole near the [[UV Lamp]] in [[The Distant Spring]] and the two located at [[The Final Trial]], which are always activated. Active geysers will bubble and send [[Olimar]] flying into the air when he stands on them, allowing access to otherwise unreachable high-up areas and sometimes providing shortcuts over large features. These geysers do not propel Pikmin. | In the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]], small geysers can be found in various locations throughout each of the five areas, except [[The Forest of Hope]].

- This article is about the geysers that spew water. For the one that spit fire, see fire geyser.
Geysers are water fountains found in the Pikmin games. These are helpful to the player, in that they propel leaders or Pikmin to a higher location. Their functions are different in each game.
Pikmin
In the first game, small geysers can be found in various locations throughout each of the five areas, except The Forest of Hope. Geysers are usually inactive, resembling little more than rocky protrusions from the ground, and must be unblocked by directing Pikmin towards them. An exception to this rule is a geyser in a hole near the UV Lamp in The Distant Spring and the two located at The Final Trial, which are always activated. Active geysers will bubble and send Olimar flying into the air when he stands on them, allowing access to otherwise unreachable high-up areas and sometimes providing shortcuts over large features. These geysers do not propel Pikmin.
Pikmin 2
Large geysers are found in every cave in Pikmin 2, always on the final sublevel. Their purpose is as a means of returning to the surface: the leaders and the Pikmin jump into the water, which lifts them upwards through a hole in the ceiling. and land at the landing site of the area the cave is found in. Some longer caves also have them on so-called "rest levels", generally a few floors down, as a means of leaving safely if the player is lacking in Pikmin. Rest levels often also contain eggs and Candypop Buds.
In Challenge Mode, geysers are found hidden on the last floor, and only rise up when The Key of the level is retrieved. However, it still won't allow the level to be completed: the geyser is dormant when it rises, and the Pikmin need to attack it until it activates.
Pikmin 3
In Pikmin 3, geysers are similar to those in Pikmin, which are small and are able to launch leaders, except these geysers are able to propel Pikmin, as well, and are always active. Sometimes, crystals will be clogging the geysers, and will need to be destroyed with Rock Pikmin.
Glitch
There is a visual glitch that occurs with geysers and hole entrances in Pikmin 2's Challenge Mode. These objects are sometimes visible underneath the surface of the cave, and can be seen by looking underneath the floor from somewhere else. These geysers are only visible underground in Challenge Mode because they start under the surface and rise up when The Key is collected.
