When this happens, the Pikmin is usually unusable until it recovers. A Pikmin that trips or stumbles runs the risk of being forgotten, hurt by [[enemies]], or flung into an [[obstacle]]{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/AverageCheerfulRamenKappaPride|Twitch video (language warning)|Twitch|published={{date|10|June|2019}}|retrieved={{date|11|June|2019}}}}{{cite web|https://twitter.com/OrangeeInkling/status/1672688514235002880|Twitter video|Twitter|published={{date|24|June|2023}}|retrieved={{date|6|October|2023}}}}, making it important for the player to pay attention to the whole group and use whatever tools they have to get the Pikmin back to normal quickly. How likely a Pikmin is to trip, or if it can trip at all, depends on its type, and what it is doing. | ||
Tripping was introduced in [[Pikmin (game)|the first game]], where it is fairly common. It carried over to {{p2}}, where the chances for a Pikmin to trip got reduced, but stumbling was added. Both mechanics were removed entirely in {{p3}}. Tripping was later re-added for {{hp}} but it has been made less punishing – Pikmin only trip in specific spots, and they get up faster. | Tripping was introduced in [[Pikmin (game)|the first game]], where it is fairly common.

These are sections of an [[area]] where there is a lot of room to walk in, and there are no real dangers nearby. These spots are purposely chosen by the area designers, by placing a <code>stumble_space</code> object on top of the line of terrain they want. The following is a list of all such objects: | ||
