Purple Pikmin: Difference between revisions

'''Purple Pikmin''' are the second type of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and are first found in the [[Emergence Cave]]. They are specifically required to obtain a number of treasures, two of which are needed to gain access to new [[area]]s, making them necessary to complete the game. This is because of their massive strength – each Purple Pikmin counts as 10 when [[carrying]] objects. Their defining physical characteristics are their purple color, as the name would imply, as well as their bulbous physique when compared to other Pikmin, in addition to a straight hairs atop their heads. Purple Pikmin share a number of similarities with [[White Pikmin]]. Firstly, they can only be obtained via certain [[Candypop Bud]]s, in this case [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s, and have magenta flowers rather than white. In addition, at the [[Day#Sunset|end of each day]], they are stored in the [[Hocotate ship]]. They are not found in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', and are only found in [[Mission Mode]] and [[Bingo Battle]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''.
