'''Digging''' | '''Digging''' is an ability [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] have in most ''Pikmin'' games. Pikmin can both dig '''out''' something in the ground, or dig their way '''in''' some holes. | ||

In ''Pikmin 2'', [[treasure]] that is completely underground does not have any obvious indicator of its presence. Only [[White Pikmin]] have the ability to detect this type of treasure, and when they're told to work on the spot the collectible is at, they will begin slowly digging it out until it peaks to the surface, at which point other types of Pikmin may help.

Only [[White Pikmin]] have the ability to detect this type of treasure, and when they're told to work on the spot the collectible is at, they will begin slowly digging it out until it peaks to the surface, at which point other types of Pikmin may help. The only way a player has to tell that there's treasure in that location is with the [[Treasure Gauge]], or by having White Pikmin scan the floor with the [[swarm]] mechanic. It should be noted that in this game, White Pikmin automatically start digging a buried item (whether it is partially or completely buried) without the player's consent; this does not apply to other Pikmin types. | ||

[[Yellow Pikmin]] have been given an extra trait, though, in that they can dig out objects faster than other types besides [[Rock Pikmin]] which dig at the same speed. Interestingly, data files say that Yellow Pikmin are the best diggers, but don't say anything about Rock Pikmin. Also in this game, [[bomb rock]] explosions can help dig out buried items, but they don't affect spacesuit [[upgrade]]s. [[Flukeweed]]s can also be used to pull out objects under the ground, but that does not involve the digging ability Pikmin possess. | ||
In ''Hey! Pikmin'', a small number of treasures are found partially buried, and need to be dug out before Olimar can collect them. The Pikmin can also dig out some special objects, like a [[Minor obstacles#Metal pipe|pipe that gets used as a ramp]] in [[Below the Ice]]. They can also dig buried [[Sparklium Seed]]s. | In ''Hey!

In ''Pikmin 3 | In ''Pikmin 3'', there are two hole [[obstacles]] that Pikmin can dig their way through. [[Dirt mound]]s are entrances to underground burrows that contain items and [[tunnel]]s are pathways covered in rubble that can be dug out to allow passage. | ||

The exact speeds cannot be determined, but they seem to reflect the Pikmin's attack power, with the exception being Yellow Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3'', which were made to be better at digging out buried objects on purpose. The following table lists relative digging speeds for unearthing an object, based on the most "normal" Pikmin type, the Blue Pikmin. Speeds for [[Tunnel#Digging speeds|digging a tunnel]] or [[Dirt mound#Digging speed|digging a dirt mound]] are a bit different. | ||

When under the effect of the ultra-spicy spray, every Pikmin will dig out an object at the same speed as an unsprayed [[Purple Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 2'', and an unsprayed [[Yellow Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 3''. This change also happens to Purple Pikmin and Yellow Pikmin, respectively. The [[maturity]] of a Pikmin does not have any impact on its digging speed. | When under the effect of the ultra-spicy spray, every Pikmin will dig out an object at the same speed as an unsprayed [[Purple Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 2'', and an unsprayed [[Yellow Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 3''.

In ''Pikmin 3'', the time taken to dig out depends on the object itself: while it seems constant for those partially buried, it's slightly random for the fully buried ones. This is a matter of few seconds for the fastest Pikmin, and a matter of few minutes for the slowest Pikmin (Winged and White Pikmin). | In ''Pikmin 3'', the time taken to dig out depends on the object itself: while it seems constant for those partially buried, it's slightly random for the fully buried ones.

A totally buried treasure has 5850 HP, and a partially buried one has 5150 HP. Non-White Pikmin can join in when a treasure's HP reaches 5150, as a result. A specific sound plays when this health is at 1170, 2340, and 3510. | ||
