The Pikmin ones roughly resemble a Pikmin's shape; however, they lack a leaf, bud or flower, don't have feet, and are missing any identifying characteristics such as the Red Pikmin's nose. Their appearance is slightly transparent and details vary between the games. In {{p1}}, every Pikmin has a blue soul, irrelevant of the color of the Pikmin itself, while souls in all other ''Pikmin'' games, including both ''[[New Play Control!]]'' remakes, are representative of the dead Pikmin's type, differing in color and slightly in shape. | The Pikmin ones roughly resemble a Pikmin's shape; however, they lack a leaf, bud or flower, don't have feet, and are missing any identifying characteristics such as the Red Pikmin's nose.

If a Pikmin dies from being thrown into the abyss, it won't release any soul in {{p1}} or {{npcp1}}, but it will in {{p2}} and {{npcp2}}. In {{p3}}, no soul will be seen ascending from the abyss but it will actually be visible on the [[radar]]. No soul will also appear if the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]] eats a Pikmin sprout. The fact that souls appear in the radar is particularly important during [[replay]]s, since they show players where and when Pikmin had died. | If a Pikmin dies from being thrown into the abyss, it won't release any soul in {{p1}} or {{npcp1}}, but it will in {{p2}} and {{npcp2}}.

In general, Pikmin souls are used as icons in [[menu]]s and [[HUD]]s to represent Pikmin that have died. | In general, Pikmin souls are used as icons in [[menu]]s and [[HUD]]s to represent Pikmin that have died. | ||

Enemy souls have a pink-purple color and look like a bubble, and leave a transparent trail behind. Two holes resembling eyes are visible near the shape's center. [[Bulbmin]] produce a smaller version of this type of soul when they die. Enemies that do not really "die" do not leave a soul when killed: this is the case for the [[Spotty Bulbear]] and the [[Gatling Groink]], which can [[Health#Revival|revive]], and the [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]], which seems to remain alive even after being defeated. Enemies that die while [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] release a soul, but these "non-dying" enemies do not In {{p3}} the souls are slightly slower moving than in the previous 2 games. The pop seen when the souls are disapearing is not audible | Enemy souls have a pink-purple color and look like a bubble, and leave a transparent trail behind.

In {{p2}} these souls make an eerie sound when ascending. The sound is much deeper, and the soul is much larger for [[bosses]]. In {{p3}}, enemy souls are blue instead of purple, have small white eyes, and have a small "tail". An enemy's death in this game means that the carcass is ready to be [[Carry|carried]] – the enemy cannot be picked up until the soul is actually seen. Due to the way [[Camera#Off-camera objects|off-camera objects]] are handled, an enemy's soul will not ascend until it is once again visible on-screen. | In {{p2}} these souls make an eerie sound when ascending.
