In ''Pikmin 2'', it is revealed that a species of [[plant]] called the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] produces berries that can be used to the [[Leader|captains']] advantage. There are two known types of spray, Ultra-Spicy and Ultra-Bitter. When the player uses a spray, one dosage is removed from their stockpile. When used with {{button|gcn|Paddown|wii|2}} (for Ultra-Spicy) or {{button|gcn|Padup|wii|1}} (for Ultra-Bitter), the current leader sprays behind or in front them, respectively.


==Ultra-spicy spray==
Both types of sprays can be made by returning ten of the respective color of [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] berries to [[the ship]], which then creates a spray dosage from them that can be used right away. The two known berry colors, purple and red, produce the two kinds of sprays. Sprays can also be found in most of the places [[nectar]] can, in the form of red or purple concentrated [[#Spray drop|drops]], each of which counts as one full dosage and is absorbed by a leader.

A spray is an item in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3. They can be collected and used at any time, and each has a different beneficial effect. In Pikmin 2, it is revealed that a species of plant called the Burgeoning Spiderwort produces berries that can be used to the captains' advantage. There are two known types of spray, Ultra-Spicy and Ultra-Bitter. When the player uses a spray, one dosage is removed from their stockpile. When used with Paddown / Wiimote 2.png (for Ultra-Spicy) or Padup / Wiimote 1.png (for Ultra-Bitter), the current leader sprays behind or in front them, respectively.

Both types of sprays can be made by returning ten of the respective color of Burgeoning Spiderwort berries to the ship, which then creates a spray dosage from them that can be used right away. The two known berry colors, purple and red, produce the two kinds of sprays. Sprays can also be found in most of the places nectar can, in the form of red or purple concentrated drops, each of which counts as one full dosage and is absorbed by a leader.

In Challenge Mode, Mission Mode, 2-Player Battle and Bingo Battle, the players start with a specific number of sprays, and can obtain spray drops in the levels, without having to first collect ten berries from that type. In cooperative modes, both players have a shared stockpile.

Ultra-Spicy Spray

Main article: Ultra-Spicy Spray.

This is obtained from red berries and is to be used on Pikmin. It has the effect of temporarily enhancing their strength and speed, and make their leaves, buds or flowers glow red. This makes Pikmin more effective at fighting, building, destroying and carrying for the 40 seconds it lasts. In Pikmin 3, it also makes them bloom into the flower stage. When used, a comical flatulence sound is heard.

Ultra-Bitter Spray

Main article: Ultra-Bitter Spray.

Exclusive to Pikmin 2, this spray is obtained from purple berries. It affects enemies and not Pikmin (excluding 2-Player Battle). When used, it encases any enemies in the path of the spray in stone for approximately 9 seconds; this is often enough time to kill or severely weaken the beast. If an enemy is killed while still petrified, it crumbles without leaving behind a carcass to produce more Pikmin, instead dropping nectar or sprays. When used, a comical burp sound is heard.

To concoct a spray, ten berries must be collected. However, once at least one spray of a certain kind has been made, spray drops of that type will begin appearing. These blobs, similar in appearance to nectar, immediately add one spray dose to the inventory when collected. This means that these drops are more valuable than berries, as one doesn't need to gather ten of them to gain a dose.

Due to different lighting conditions inside caves, it is possible for spray drops to occasionally appear with odd colors, such as blue or orange. When a captain is hit by an enemy, bomb-rock or something else while absorbing a concentrated dose of spray, he stops absorbing it, and it shrinks and disappears. Worst, the spray does not get collected, so it important to be careful when trying to get a spray.

Drops can be found on the following places, after at least one spray of them has been made:

If the player can make it so that both captains drink a drop at once, the game will register it as two individual collections, and add two sprays to the inventory. To do this, the player must separate his captains, and leave one of them next to a drop. Then, change to the other captain, and have him push the idle captain into the blob.
