'''Geysers''' are water fountains found in the {{pg}}. They are helpful to the player, in that they propel [[leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to a higher location. Their exact functions are different in each game.

In {{p1}}, 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, meaning that to use a geyser to go up a ledge with a squad, the Pikmin must be thrown up first.

In {{p2}}, large geysers can be found in every [[cave]]. Their purpose is as a means of returning to the surface: the [[leader]]s and the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] jump into the water, which propels them upwards through a hole in the ceiling, out of the cave. [[Bulbmin]] cannot use geysers. All caves have geysers on their lowest sublevel, but some caves have geysers on earlier sublevels, generally a few floors down, as a means of leaving safely if the player is lacking in Pikmin. These geysers are common on [[rest sublevel]]s.

In {{p3}}, geysers are small (like in ''Pikmin''), and are able to propel both leaders and Pikmin upwards to a specific location. Geysers are always active. Sometimes, [[Crystal#Small crystal|crystals]] will be clogging the geysers, and will need to be destroyed with [[Rock Pikmin]] before the geyser can be used. Geysers can also be used by leaders while moving with [[Go Here!]], and by Pikmin in the process of carrying small objects like [[fragment]]s.

Whilst geysers in previous titles of the series act as helpful boosts to higher ground, geysers in {{p4}} behave as [[water]] [[hazards]], requiring [[Blue Pikmin]] to destroy if a player intends to keep other pikmin safe from drowning. They can be destroyed in the same manner as other hazards such as [[fire geysers]] and [[gas pipes]]. There are also regular geysers that work similar to the ones in Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 3.
[[File:P4 activated Air Geyser.jpg|thumb|An unclogged geyser in ''Pikmin 4''.]]
In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', geysers shoot air instead of water. They can propel the leader, Oatchi, and Pikmin, and can serve a few purposes, such as taking the player to higher platforms in caves or over walls on the surface. Some geysers may be plugged by a stone, rendering it unusable and inactive. In order to activate the geyser, the stone must be attacked with Pikmin or Oatchi until it is unlodged. Geysers are not to be confused with [[cave exit]]s, large fans that let the player exit a cave, or [[water spout]]s, which spew a [[water]] hazard from the ground.
