 '''Health''' (also known as '''Hit Points''' or '''Health Points''', and usually shortened to '''HP''') is a common mechanic in games, used to represent how close a living entity is to dying. In general terms, the higher something's health is, the more damage it can sustain before dying. When its health reaches 0, it dies.
-In the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], health is represented with a [[HUD#Health wheel|colored wheel on the HUD]]. It is mostly used to keep track of how close an [[enemy]] is to dying. It should be noted that not all object healths will be represented, while others, like [[gate]]s, become visibly damaged as they are attacked.
+In the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], health is stored as a number, but is shown to the player with a [[HUD#Health wheel|colored wheel]] as opposed to a number in text. It is mostly used to keep track of how close an [[enemy]] is to dying, although it can serve other purposes, such as pointing down how close a [[Volatile Dweevil]] is to exploding. It should be noted that some objects will not have their health shown to the player whatsoever, although things like [[gate]]s will become visibly more damaged as they are attacked.
-On Pikipedia, an object's health points can be found on the corresponding subject's page, either on the infobox at the top of the article, or under a section titled "Technical information". In the case of ''Pikmin 2'' enemies, you may also use the [[Piklopedia]] page. The health values were gathered either by checking the memory with an emulator and/or memory reader, by reading the in-game files directly, or via in-game observations and calculations. For comparison, you may learn how strong Pikmin attacks are by checking the infobox at the top of a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin type]]'s article.

 In ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3'', if a leader loses all their health, they will be transported back to the landing area, and the other leaders will continue on their own. If every leader loses all their health, the day ends, as it does when Olimar falls in ''Pikmin''. The same rule applies to caves in ''Pikmin 2'', but the cave is immediately left, all salvaged treasures are lost, all Pikmin in the cave are left behind, and hence, count as deaths, and the day is instantly over afterwards. If only one leader is knocked out inside a cave, he will be lying prostrate in front of the ship even after leaving the cave. This cannot be changed unless the day ends or is reset. The only way to heal the health of a leader that is not knocked out is to enter or leave a cave. In [[Challenge Mode]] and [[Mission Mode]], if any leader dies, the challenge/mission is over. In [[2-Player Battle]] and [[Bingo Battle]], if a player's leader dies, the other player wins.
+Technically, leaders in ''Pikmin 2'' have 128 points of health.
 There are two minor glitches in ''Pikmin 2'' related to a leader losing all of his health: [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Invisible leader|one glitch]] has the fallen leader remain on the level, but invisible, while [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Unbeamable leader|another one]] allows the leader to remain on the ground instead of being beamed up by the Research Pod.
