'''Winged Pikmin''' ({{j|羽ピクミン|Hane Pikumin}}) are a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin type]] that appear in {{p3}}, {{p4}}, {{hp}} and {{pb}}, with the special ability of flight.

Due to their constant airborne status, they can follow leaders more smoothly, as they can fly over obtrusions on the terrain, over [[water]], or over [[pit]]s. There are a few disadvantages, however.

They are also weaker than other Pikmin types in terms of attack power, but the fact that they can fly makes fighting airborne enemies and targeting specific weak points in larger enemies more convenient. Contrary to popular belief, Winged Pikmin do not cause more damage to flying enemies. | ||

It's possible for a Winged Pikmin to walk on the ground like any other Pikmin instead of flying. This can happen while building a [[bridge]], [[digging]], drinking [[nectar]], going back to the [[Onion]], pushing an [[obstacle]] such as an [[iron ball]], attacking a [[gate]], after being thrown away by an attack (if they are not called back and can't find an enemy to attack), after being [[ink]]ed or set [[Fire|ablaze]] (they will either fly or run), or when rescued from [[Water|drowning]] (if the player whistles the Pikmin, it will fly, but if the Pikmin manages to escape alone, it will set foot on ground). They will also set foot on the ground after sliding or using a [[geyser]] (in which case they will stay on the ground until their leader moves). | It's possible for a Winged Pikmin to walk on the ground like any other Pikmin instead of flying.

In {{hp}}, Winged Pikmin behave similarly to {{p3}} | In {{hp}}, Winged Pikmin behave similarly to {{p3}} but have the new ability to carry Olimar until he hits the ground if he falls from a certain distance, similar to gliding. Whilst Olimar is being carried, holding down on {{button|3ds|stick}} allows him to descend faster, and upwards will make him perform a short hop, increasing the amount of air time. The left and right walking commands are the same while gliding and don't have any perks. Certain areas have a "wind effect" which pushes Olimar in the direction the wind is blowing; using a short hop allows the player to get slightly more height depending on which direction the wind blows. Notably Winged Pikmin also fly straight to the point the player taps on the screen without arching like other Pikmin. | ||

However, they are now more vulnerable to crushing hazards, are thrown slightly higher than most other types besides Yellow Pikmin and have noticibly improved targeting of enemies in combat, especially those with specific weak points. Newly introduced ground-based hazards such as [[Sticky mold]] and [[Mud]] can be safely ignored by Winged Pikmin, even though this is not necessarily a new inherent ability and is simply related to their flight. Grounded hostiles who attempt to steal carryable items like [[Breadbugs]], [[Dog|Dogs]] and enemy [[Glow Pikmin]] in [[Dandori Battle]] will also be unable to attempt to steal a flying item. However, their shortcuts are notably much less ambitious than they used to be, mainly only carrying over small gaps and ledges [[Oatchi]] can jump over, potentially to allow [[White Pikmin]] to better compete with them. Winged Pikmin can still remain active over the water, but they can no longer be charged while the player is submerged, although the effects of [[dismissing]] and the [[Lineup Trumpet]] still remain viable means of commanding them in these situations. | ||

When carrying an object, Winged Pikmin will fly with it through the air, making it difficult to call them back with the ground [[whistle]]. Instead, they must be called by holding {{button|wii|b|wiiu|zr|wiiu|pcr}}, which will eventually summon a cylindrical beam of light that will call the Winged Pikmin, or by simpling whistling while aiming at the object they are carrying. As stated, Winged Pikmin are capable of flying over obstacles, but are considerably slow whilst carrying. This can cause traffic in groups of Pikmin trying to return spoils to base, as Winged Pikmin slowly carrying an object in the front of the line will cause the rest of the Pikmin to get held up behind them. | When carrying an object, Winged Pikmin will fly with it through the air, making it difficult to call them back with the ground [[whistle]].

If multiple types of Pikmin are carrying something that a Winged Pikmin is also carrying, the Winged Pikmin will carry it closer to the ground and will not fly with it. However, if the number of Winged Pikmin carrying is the number of Pikmin required to lift the object, they will lift it into the air, causing any ground-based Pikmin trying to carry the object to let go | If multiple types of Pikmin are carrying something that a Winged Pikmin is also carrying, the Winged Pikmin will carry it closer to the ground and will not fly with it. However, if the number of Winged Pikmin carrying is the number of Pikmin required to lift the object, they will lift it into the air, causing any ground-based Pikmin trying to carry the object to let go or to cling on for a few seconds before falling off. | ||
Due to this behavior, and combined with the fact that idle Pikmin are prone to assisting nearby Pikmin who are carrying an item, idle Winged Pikmin are known to "steal" spoils from other types of Pikmin by unintentionally snatching them away from the other Pikmin as they try to fly with it. | Due to this behavior, and combined with the fact that idle Pikmin are prone to assisting nearby Pikmin who are carrying an item, idle Winged Pikmin are known to "steal" spoils from other types of Pikmin by unintentionally snatching them away from the other Pikmin as they try to fly with it. | ||
In {{p4}}, these traits have been changed significantly. For example, Winged Pikmin no longer come at a speed disadvantage and carry at the same speed as most pikmin. They will also no longer "steal" items as easily, as they will politely allow other pikmin types to keep on carrying an item and sit idle if one is being carried nearby. On top of this, they will now always add speed to a carried item same as any other pikmin, unlike in Pikmin 3 where there were situations Winged Pikmin carrying an item would not contribute to the carry speed. | |||
==In ''Pikmin 4''== | |||
In {{p4}}, Winged Pikmin can be found as early as the [[Below-Grade Discotheque]] in [[Serene Shores]]. Their onion, however, is found far within the final area: The [[Primordial Thicket]]. | |||
===Recommended uses=== | |||
While no treasure or obstacle require Winged Pikmin, there are several uses they are highly recommended for, as they can only be bypassed through glitches and exploits without them. | |||
* {{icon|Straight-and-Narrow Track|v=P4|y}} ([[Ultimate Testing Range]]): On a lower ledge, there is no path grounded Pikmin types can use to carry it out. Oatchi also cannot carry it back without using exploits in his pathing. | |||
* {{icon|Telekinesis Detector|v=P4|y}}: As it is in a dead end guarded by a gate, Winged Pikmin are the only type that can carry it (through normal means) to the [[S.S. Beagle]]. | |||
