'''Gates''' (also called '''walls''') are | {{stub|Add locations (see [[Talk:Gate#Locations|the talk page]]), and ''Hey! Pikmin'' info.}} | ||
'''Gates''' (also called '''walls''') are obstacles in all [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] that block paths to other areas. They are found in a number of different forms, which require different strategies to overcome. In general, they can be destroyed by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]: a [[leader]] just needs to order them to work on the structure. As time passes, a gate that is being destroyed becomes weaker in distinct stages, before finally being taken down with the standard "task complete" sound effect. The length of time it takes to demolish a gate depends on its type, and the number and types of Pikmin working on it. Some gates require specific Pikmin types to overcome. | |||
In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', gates have three stages, and when passing from one to the next, they sink lower to the ground. ''Pikmin 3'' eschews this for a more realistic look, where the gates show visible damage. | |||

{{ | '''Bramble gates''' are the most basic type of gate in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', being replaced with [[#Dirt wall|dirt walls]] for the third game. Any Pikmin type can damage a bramble gate. There are two types of these gates: white and black. Black gates are harder to break down than white ones. These can also be found with [[gas pipe]]s within, requiring [[White Pikmin]] to take them down. | ||

In ''Pikmin'', white gates can also be destroyed with two [[bomb rock]]s, and black gates require four. The exact health values are not very rigid, however – the gate that encloses the [[Emperor Bulblax]]'s arena on [[The Final Trial]] is surprisingly frail. In ''Pikmin 2'', normal gates above ground have between 10000 and 43000 hit points. They tend in general to be much sturdier than the [[Randomness|random]]ly generated ones in [[cave]]s (100 - 12800) and [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] levels (1 - 4000). For comparison, a [[Red Bulborb]] has 750 hit points. | |||

'''Dirt walls''' are sandcastle-like gates found in {{p3}} | '''Dirt walls''' are sandcastle-like gates found in {{p3}} and {{hp}} only, and function as the most basic gate type, replacing bramble gates. They break down and fall apart as opposed to sinking into the ground. These types of gates can be destroyed by any Pikmin type; however, some of these walls are found partially or completely submerged underwater, meaning that they require [[Blue Pikmin]] to destroy effectively. In ''Pikmin 3'', Pikmin are more effective at taking one down if they are latched onto it from a throw{{cite youtube|mRGpLSrUyVc|comparing latched Pikmin, grounded Pikmin, thrown Rock Pikmin, and lone Rock Pikmin on a dirt wall|rname=dirt_speed}}, but as the layers on the gate peel down, those Pikmin will eventually fall and attack at ground level. For [[Rock Pikmin]], throwing them at the wall repeatedly is much faster than letting them lunge on their own, and is in fact, the fastest way to take down a wall using Pikmin.{{cite youtube|rname=dirt_speed}} These walls can be destroyed using a single [[bomb rock]]. | ||

===Locations=== | |||
*[[Tropical Wilds]]: One is found on the first day, inside the cave where the [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]] would normally be, another is outside the landing site, and closes off access to a [[Pocked Airhead]], a third wall underwater guards access to the [[Calcified Crushblat]]'s arena, and a fourth can be found separating the small brown bridge near the landing site from the area with a [[Dapper Blob]] and a [[Swooping Snitchbug]]. | |||
*[[Garden of Hope]]: One is located in the second half of the area, near the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]]'s nest, and another is located near the [[Toady Bloyster]] and a pile of fragments used to build the pot. Both of these are completely submerged underwater. A third separates the landing site from the [[fragment]] pile used to build the nearby [[bridge]], with this bridge leading to a fourth wall by the [[Bulborb]]. A fifth wall blocks the 2D facing area with the [[Zest Bomb]] and [[Astringent Clump]], with the last one blocking access to the [[Armored Mawdad]]'s arena. | |||
*[[Distant Tundra]]: Two of the dirt walls in this area are partially submerged in the main river. One is by the area with [[Wogpole]]s, near the land protrusion to swap Pikmin in, while the other one is right next to the ledge with the [[Face Wrinkler]]. The last dirt wall is also by the land protrusion, but it blocks an alcove with a [[Bearded Amprat]] and a [[Bouncy Mushroom]]. | |||
*[[Twilight River]]: One wall is in the second half of the area, and blocks off a small land bridge to cross the river, and a second one separates the area with the [[clipboard]]s and the swarm of [[Scornet]]s. | |||
*[[Formidable Oak]]: The first is found at the end of the room with the [[Red Bulborb|Bulborbs]], the next one can be found to the far end of the circular area where the bridge is built, a third is at the end of the path where the [[Nectarous Dandelfly]] is, and the final is in the dark cave, and simply separates a path to get the fragments (this wall does not need to be destroyed, however). | |||

{{game help|p3|Are these walls in ''Pikmin 3'' made of stone or concrete?}} | |||
'''Reinforced walls''' (known before ''Pikmin 3'' by fans as '''stone gates''') are, as the name would suggest, less destructible than regular gates. They do not appear in the second game. Pikmin cannot attack these stone walls: if they are told to try, they will just tap their stems at them for a bit, before sighing and giving up. [[Bomb rock]]s must explode near them in order to take them down. In ''Pikmin 3'', only three bomb rocks are needed to take one down, but in ''Pikmin'' white, gray and black gates, need three, six and nine bomb rocks to destroy, respectively. | |||

'''Electric gates''' carry [[Electricity|electrical current]]. As such, Pikmin that are not [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]] cannot touch them, under the risk of death (''Pikmin 2'') or temporary paralysis (''Pikmin 3''). Other than that, they can be taken down just like any other type of gate. | |||
'''Electric gates''' carry | |||
{{ | In ''Pikmin 2'', they resemble a fence made of metal, and sink to the ground as they take damage. All electric gates have exactly 16000 [[Health|hit-points]]. | ||
In ''Pikmin 3'', they are made of four {{w|fluorescent lamp}}s laid horizontally on top of one another, with each lamp breaking down (and becoming harmless) at each stage of destruction. When the gate is finally opened, all lamps explode. Pikmin cannot grab on to this type of gate – they can only attack from the ground. Bomb rocks cannot be used to damage these gates. | |||

{{ | {{game help|p3|Investigate further how resistant each gate is. Take in consideration hitting the same quadrant or different quadrants.}} | ||
'''Crystal walls''' are gate types found only in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and require [[Rock Pikmin]] to break. The gate itself is made of a piece of glass (identified as "[[crystal]]") stuck between 2 clamps, and will crack as Rock Pikmin hit it. Once enough damage has occurred, the wall will shatter altogether rather than break gradually or sink in the ground. The cracks are split in quadrants, and once a quadrant has been damaged enough, the whole structure breaks. As such, hitting the same quadrant repeatedly will take the wall down faster than hitting several quadrants. Although uncertain, it appears that all crystal walls in story mode take 24 direct hits to break if the same quadrant is hit every time, and 28 direct hits if a different quadrant is hit each time. Any crystal gate needs 2 bomb rock explosions in order to shatter, regardless of health value. | |||

'''Bamboo gates''' are gates made out of bamboo sticks, and are found only in ''Pikmin 3''. They require [[Winged Pikmin]] to get use but, unlike other gates, these cannot be opened permanently. Each of the five sticks has a pink handle on top, which requires two Winged Pikmin in order to be lifted – as such, ten Winged Pikmin must be issued to lift the entire gate. Until they are called back, they will keep the gate in this opened position, allowing leaders, Pikmin, or even [[enemy|enemies]] passage underneath. No more than 10 Winged Pikmin can lift a single gate, and once they are told to return, they will close it again. If less than all the Winged Pikmin get called back, the gate will fall and any remaining Pikmin will struggle to hold up the gate. If an item gets stuck under a closed bamboo gate, it will glitch back and forth while remaining stuck in the gate. It will be freed if the gate is lifted back up, however. | |||

In the first two games, a visual glitch that occurs with certain gates allows them to remain visible underground when parts are submerged. Once the entire gate has been torn down, everything appears normal again. This is best seen [[Cave|underground]] in ''Pikmin 2'', and in [[The Forest Navel]] in ''Pikmin''. In the latter case, it is a simple black gate near a [[Fiery Blowhog]] and a [[Pellet Posy]] growing in a pool. | In the first two games, a visual glitch that occurs with certain gates allows them to remain visible underground when parts are submerged.
