'''Blunt force''' is a non-elemental [[hazard]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], consisted of two physical forces: '''crushing''' and '''stabbing'''.
'''Crushing''' is a non-elemental [[hazard]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]]. While soft-bodied Pikmin that get crushed die right away, [[Rock Pikmin]] can withstand the weight, although [[Winged Pikmin]] also have some immunity to being crushed.


==Overview==
==Crushing==
[[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] have weak bodies that cannot resist most forms of '''crushing''' forces, except for [[Rock Pikmin]]. Once a Pikmin is crushed, it becomes flat in whatever direction it was crushed, then disappears with a [[soul]], with no way to save it. However, Rock Pikmin merely become partially buried in the ground and unharmed, and must be left to unearth themselves automatically after some seconds. In ''Pikmin 3'', the time it takes for them to unearth does not depend on their maturity and is [[random]] between six and eleven seconds.

[[Leader]]s are not immune to crushing either. If a leader is crushed, they will become flat for a second, and slowly return to their original size. Being crushed normally causes considerable [[Health|damage]], and the prolonged damage animation may allow the leader to be hit by a different attack while they are unable to react.

Interestingly however, [[Winged Pikmin]] can't get crushed by anything but the [[Quaggled Mireclops]] and the crystal cubes from the [[Plasm Wraith]] in ''Pikmin 3'': such attacks will just push Winged Pikmin away, even if they are grounded.
In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', crushing can be identified by the distinct sound Pikmin make when killed. In ''Pikmin 3'', any attack that a Rock Pikmin can survive by becoming buried counts as a crushing attack.
 
Pikmin standing below a lowered [[elevator platform]] or [[paper bag]]/[[tin box]] pushed off a ledge will not be crushed by it; instead they will just be pushed out of the way.
 
In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', crushing can be identified by the distinct sound Pikmin make when killed. In ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', any attack that a Rock Pikmin can survive by becoming buried counts as a crushing attack.
 
In ''Pikmin 4'', Rock Pikmin can still get crushed if they are stomped against a hard floor, of if the attack has another [[hazard]], like the [[Scorchcake]] stomping with its flaming side.

Although the [[Mamuta]] crushes Pikmin into the ground with its hands, this does not count as a crushing hazard, as this is actually beneficial to the Pikmin. It's still harmful to leaders, however. In addition, the [[Quaggled Mireclops]] has some attacks that trample Pikmin, killing them in the process, but this is a fatal attack that Rock Pikmin are not immune to.

==Rock Pikmin==
==Stabbing==
[[File:Crystal Breaking.jpg|thumb|left|Rock Pikmin breaking a [[large crystal]].]]
'''Stabbing''' is a force similar to crushing, in that Rock Pikmin are immune to it. Whereas most Pikmin would get skewered, Rock Pikmin are simply knocked back from stabbing attacks.
{{main|Rock Pikmin}}


The rough exterior of Rock Pikmin gives them the ability to survive crushing attacks, making them quite valuable when fighting enemies that pose a crushing hazard. However, Rock Pikmin won't completely ignore crushing attacks like other Pikmin types ignore attacks of the hazard they are invulnerable to: they become temporarily and partially buried.
The following enemies have stabbing attacks that Rock Pikmin are immune to:
*'''{{icon|Joustmite|y}}''' and '''{{icon|Flighty Joustmite|y}}''' – these enemies stick their proboscis out to stab Pikmin with.
*'''{{icon|Plasm Wraith|y}}''' – the Plasm Wraith's normal attack involves a series of stabbing movements.


{{clear}}
In the same vein as the Joustmites, it is assumed that [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]]s in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' also have an attack that counts as a "stabbing" hazard, although this force is not distinctly recognized as being a hazard by any game mechanic or explanation.

There is a glitch in the first two ''Pikmin'' games where an enemy or a certain object will crush a Pikmin abnormally, when it isn't even meant to crush in the first place. Occasionally, often, or very rarely, depending on the version, an object on top of a Pikmin will make said Pikmin vanish.

==Yellow Wollyhop corpse crushing==
As seen in a [[Promotional material|trailer]] for ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', it appears that in a [[Pikmin prerelease information|development version of the game]], [[Yellow Wollyhop]]s could crush [[Captain Olimar]]'s army during their death animation, where they tense up and fall to the side. In the final game, this does not happen, except unintentionally, with the aforementioned glitch.
