'''Fire''' is a [[hazard]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]]. Most Pikmin types are not resistant to fire, and if they touch a fire source, the top of their stems will begin to burn up, they will run around in a panicked state, and if not saved, will eventually succumb and die. They can be saved by being [[whistle]]d at. [[Red Pikmin]], [[Bulbmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]] are completely immune to fire, making them necessary to handle [[obstacle]]s or [[Enemy|enemies]] that can produce or are under fire. [[Ice Pikmin]] burn quicker than other types.

[[Leader]]s are not normally invulnerable to fire hazards: they will take [[Health|damage]] and be knocked back if they touch fire. However, by salvaging the [[Scorch Guard]], they will be rendered completely immune to fire. However, they can still be stunned by the [[Titan Dweevil]]'s [[Flare Cannon]].

In ''Pikmin 2'', Pikmin that are on fire will not be affected by explosions.{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/EvilPlumpPrariedogDAESuppy|Twitch clip|Twitch|published={{date|29|February|2020}}|retrieved={{date|29|February|2020}}}}

==Scorch Guard==
{{main|Scorch Guard}}

The Scorch Guard is a [[spacesuit]] upgrade in {{p2}}, {{p3}} and {{p4}}. After it is collected, the playable leaders will gain immunity to all sorts of fire attacks, just like Red Pikmin. The exception is the [[Titan Dweevil]]'s Flare Cannon, since it will stun leaders, even if it does not harm them.

==Red Pikmin==
{{main|Red Pikmin}}

Red Pikmin are resistant to fire, meaning they will not be affected by any flame and will act as if it does not exist. [[Bulbmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]] also share this trait. This makes them quite valuable when fighting against fire-related [[enemies]] and overcoming fiery [[obstacle]]s. Red Pikmin can also pick up [[fire starter]]s to burn [[dried plant]]s and light bonfires. They can also be used in combat against some enemies, such as melting the ice on a [[Frosty Bulborb]]'s back.

==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
{{external|fire attacks|[[smashwiki:Flame|SmashWiki]]|SmashWiki.png}}
Some fighters in the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] have attacks that can set their opponents on fire. Olimar is one of them &ndash; when a Red Pikmin attacks an enemy, it burns them. Similarly to the ''Pikmin'' series, Red Pikmin can completely resist any attack with a fire property, by taking no damage and not flinching, although other Pikmin types do not take any extra damage from fire attacks.

==Glitches==
*[[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Shifted heat haze|Shifted heat haze]]: in {{npcp2}} exclusively, fires that aren't horizontally centered on the [[camera]] will have their heat haze effect shifted away from them.
*[[Glitches in Pikmin 3#Drowning cutscene glitch|Drowning cutscene glitch]]: in {{p3}}, if the [[Water|drowning]] explanation cutscene plays while there is a trail of fire near the water, if the camera aligns correctly, the fire and water's depths will not be calculated correctly, and the water splashes will appear on top of the fire.
