'''Blue Pikmin''' ({{j|青ピクミン|Ao Pikumin}}), as their name implies, are a blue species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] that reside on [[PNF-404]]. This type of Pikmin is present in all game modes of all three {{pg}}, and in all of them, it is the last type to be discovered. Besides coloration, these Pikmin are distinguishable from other Pikmin species by their pink mouths, a trait seen in no other Pikmin species. These mouths are used to take in water, which filters oxygen through gills. This gives them the astonishing ability to breathe both underwater and on dry land. Producing more Blue Pikmin can be easily done by dragging nutrients or animal carcasses to the [[Blue Onion]] (or the Master Onion), or by throwing other species into a [[Lapis Lazuli Candypop Bud]]. As with the other main types of Pikmin, their buds and flowers are white. | |||

Blue Pikmin | Only the Blue Pikmin and [[Bulbmin]] can safely traverse [[water]]y areas; any other type will simply flail around in panic before drowning. Winged Pikmin may move and [[carry]] objects above the surface of the water, but if thrown into a pool, they will not be able to swim. While in water, the Blue Pikmin behave almost the same as they do on land. If they are idle and see a nearby Pikmin drowning in water, they will quickly run to them, pick them up, and [[throw]] them to shore. However, they will not rescue Pikmin if they are a certain distance away, so they can't always be relied on. At least in ''Pikmin 2'', this throw works the same as a normal leader throw, which means it can be used for things like crushing a [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]].{{cite web|https://www.twitch.tv/videos/441917009|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|21|June|2019}}|retrieved={{date|21|June|2019}}}} In ''Pikmin 3'', this rescuing feature was removed, and Blue Pikmin now also have the ability to swim freely while in pursuit, something necessary to reach some [[Enemy|enemies]] that lie above the ground level. | ||
Blue Pikmin seem to be the most balanced Pikmin species; they have average attack power, durability, mobility, [[digging]] speed and throw distance. Blue Pikmin have very little utility outside of water, as most enemies that pose water hazards can easily be defeated without Blue Pikmin. Interestingly, Blue Pikmin are more likely to die than other types in ''Pikmin 2'', as noted [[Pikmin family#Likeliness to die|here]]. | |||

==Discovery== | |||
[[File:BlueOnionP3.png|thumb|right|200px|The Blue Onion activating in ''Pikmin 3''.]] | |||
Blue Pikmin are the last species of Pikmin encountered by the player in all games. In ''Pikmin'', Olimar finds the dormant Blue Onion in [[The Forest Navel]], which proves to be a big help in the aquatic area, [[The Distant Spring]]. Their Onion is found near the massive stump holding the [[Automatic Gear]], and is located inside a small pond. Like with the red and yellow Onions, a seed pops out when the Onion wakes up, which Olimar then plucks. The Blue Pikmin's ability to live underwater is immediately demonstrated, since the Onion, the seed, and the new Pikmin appear underwater during this event. | |||
In ''Pikmin 2'', 5 Blue Pikmin are found in the [[Awakening Wood]]. This is first hinted at when the Onion stops spitting out seeds, but there are only a reported 95 out [[Pikmin limit|100 Pikmin]] on the field. They are found chasing a few [[Wogpoles]] beyond an [[electric gate]] guarded by a [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]] at the north of the map. To obtain them, Olimar and [[Louie]] break down the gate with the Yellow Pikmin, and proceed to [[whistle]] them to take them under their command. Once again, their underwater prowesses are instantly noticeable, since they're found in a large lake. | |||
In ''Pikmin 3'', the Blue Onion is found in the [[Garden of Hope]], but can only be found after [[Louie]] has absconded from the Koppaites. The explorers chase after him, but instead find an Onion trapped under a [[Flukeweed]]. From this, the Blue Onion is found, and after it ejects a seed that is then plucked, the explorers discover the Blue Pikmin, which prove to be essential in finding Louie. As with the previous games, the Blue Pikmin are instantly shown to be able to withstand being underwater, since the Onion, seed, and newly-plucked Pikmin are underwater. | |||
==Mandatory uses== | |||
Blue Pikmin are needed to recover the following objects, and to kill the following [[enemies]], as no other Pikmin type can complete these tasks, not even with exploits. | |||
===''Pikmin''=== | |||
There are exploits that make it so Blue Pikmin are not needed to obtain any ship parts, defeat any enemy, etc. | |||
===''Pikmin 2''=== | |||
*Treasures | |||
**None. | |||
*Enemies | |||
**None. | |||
*Caves | |||
**[[Shower Room]]: The entrance to the cave is blocked by a [[clog]] underwater. | |||
**[[Submerged Castle]]: Only Blue Pikmin can enter this cave, as its entrance is underwater. Even with exploits, only Blue Pikmin are allowed to enter.{{cite youtube|vLbnXgWkoz4|with attempts to bring non-Blues into the Submerged Castle}} | |||
*Other | |||
**The white gate in the [[Valley of Repose]], after the [[Emergence Cave]], can only be destroyed by Blue Pikmin, because it is in the water. | |||
**The first [[clog]] in the Valley of Repose must be destroyed by Blue Pikmin in order to drain the lake and continue to the second half of the area. | |||
{{ | ===''Pikmin 3''=== | ||
*Fruits | |||
**{{icon|Citrus Lump|v=FF|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]]): The fruit is fully submerged in water next to the [[metal box]]. | |||
**{{icon|Citrus Lump|v=FF|y}} ([[Twilight River]]): The fruit is also fully submerged in water near the landing site. | |||
**{{icon|Crunchy Deluge|y}}: Like the Citrus Lump, this fruit is located underwater at the far end of the [[Twilight River]]. | |||
**{{icon|Portable Sunset|y}} ([[Distant Tundra]]): This fruit is on a low branch above a pool of water. Upon throwing 8 Pikmin on it, it will fall into the water. Winged Pikmin can also be used to detach the fruit, but it'll land in the water regardless. | |||
**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} ([[Tropical Wilds]]): The fruit is held by a [[Calcified Crushblat]], and to access the enemy, an underwater [[Gate#Dirt wall|dirt wall]] must be destroyed. | |||
**{{icon|Sunseed Berry|v=FF|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]], near the Blue Onion): This fruit is fully underwater next to a dirt wall. | |||
*Enemies | |||
**{{icon|Puckering Blinnow|y}}: These enemies always remains underwater, so they must be defeated by Blue Pikmin. | |||
**{{icon|Sputtlefish|y}}: These enemies are also underwater enemies. | |||
**{{icon|Toady Bloyster|v=P3|y}}: These enemies are always found underwater in Story mode. | |||
== | ==Recommended uses== | ||
Blue Pikmin are not mandatory for the following tasks but are recommended. Some of these cannot be completed without Blues unless exploits are used. | |||
=== | ===''Pikmin''=== | ||
Blue Pikmin are not needed for any ship part, but some can only be collected with Red/Yellow Pikmin using exploits. There are two main ones: the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Object nudging|object nudging glitch]] allows one to push ship parts out of the water, while the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Drowning reset|drowning reset glitch]] allows Pikmin to travel large bodies of water without drowning. Other minor exploits and glitches include ending the day to make a ship part appear on the closest [[carrying]] waypoint in the following day, which can place ship parts in unintended places, and the ability to place a [[Lie down|lying]] Olimar between a treasure and a wall to make him pop up on top of the wall, and going out of bounds. | |||

However, with precise [[throw]]s, it's possible to throw bomb-rock Yellow Pikmin to the top of the gate, and destroy it without needing Blue Pikmin. | ||
**{{icon|Geiger Counter|y}}: In order to reach the [[Burrowing Snagret]] that holds the ship part, a [[cardboard box]] must be pushed out of the way, and Blue Pikmin need to be guided from a puddle to the backside of the box. | **{{icon|Geiger Counter|y}}: In order to reach the [[Burrowing Snagret]] that holds the ship part, a [[cardboard box]] must be pushed out of the way, and Blue Pikmin need to be guided from a puddle to the backside of the box. Although it is possible to use other Pikmin to throw the box, either with [[Throw#Longer throw trick|long throws]] or by throwing them to the top of the box and [[swarm|guiding them]] to the back. | ||
**{{icon|Sagittarius|y}}: Two bridges must be built to reach the part, but one of them can only be reached by tossing Pikmin while in a large pond. Luckily, there is a small protrusion on the island that allows non-Blue Pikmin to shore on, and from there, they can be thrown at the bridge. To reach the bit of land, the Pikmin can just swim towards it from the mainland. | **{{icon|Sagittarius|y}}: Two bridges must be built to reach the part, but one of them can only be reached by tossing Pikmin while in a large pond.

By bringing it close to the bodies of water in the higher levels and ending the day, it is possible for the Ionium Jet to appear in the next body of water by the next day. Eventually, the ship part can be brought to land.{{cite youtube|RMBsv9rcRPU|showing how to obtain the #1 Ionium Jet using only Red Pikmin}} | ||

They can just be called back, and the process can be repeated until the geyser is enabled.{{cite youtube|Bbr4KygCuHA|showing how the Libra can be obtained using only Red Pikmin}} Alternatively, one can use a [[pellet]] from a [[Shearwig]] to clip to the railing wall, and from there, walk up to the ship part and push it down.{{cite youtube|UfqG2lc36lw|showing how to get Captain Olimar up to the Libra}} | ||
**{{icon|Anti-Dioxin Filter|y}}: The part is on a large pool of water, but with the object nudging glitch, it is possible to take it out without Blue Pikmin. Wollywog corpses can be used to help push the part, and a [[Breadbug]] dragging a [[Male Sheargrub]] corpse can be used to push the part mostly onto dry land.{{cite youtube|ai0En69n56s|of the Anti-Dioxin Filter being collected with Red Pikmin only|published={{date|6|July|2018}}|retrieved={{date|10|July|2018}}}} | **{{icon|Anti-Dioxin Filter|y}}: The part is on a large pool of water, but with the object nudging glitch, it is possible to take it out without Blue Pikmin.

Blue Pikmin appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

They are the only Pikmin that don't drown in water, and are more durable than other types of Pikmin (besides [[Purple Pikmin]]).

They are the only Pikmin that don't drown in water, and are more durable than other types of Pikmin (besides [[Purple Pikmin]]). They also throw opponents the farthest with Olimar's grab attack. They can withstand water moves like Mario's F.L.U.D.D. or Squirtle's water gun. In ''Brawl'', Olimar is most likely to pull up a Blue Pikmin if he is on a water-based surface, such as a cloud or ice. | ||
