'''Gates''' (also called '''walls''') are [[obstacle]]s in all [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] that block paths to other sections of an [[area]]. There are several different types of gate in each game, which require different methods to overcome. They serve to either make the player wait before being able to access part of an area (encouraging multitasking), to prevent access to part of an area before unlocking a certain Pikmin type, or to force the player to consider strategy and Pikmin management as they explore an area.
'''Gates''' are found in a number of different forms in both [[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]], which require different strategies to overcome them. They are the most common type of obstacle in Pikmin.  Gates block paths to different areas and can be destroyed by [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]]; just swarm them onto the structure.  As time passes, the length of which depends on the number and type of Pikmin working on razing the gate and the type of gate, it will lower in three distinct stages, finally collapsing to the ground with the characteristic 'completion sound'.


==Bramble gate==
==Variations==
[[File:Destroyingwall.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A white bramble gate in [[The Forest of Hope]].]]
There are four major variations in gate structure:
{{main|Bramble gate}}
*White gates (also known as '''white Bramble Gates''') are the most basic, and take a relatively short amount of time to destroy.
'''Bramble gates''' are the most basic type of gate in {{p1}} and {{p2}}. Any Pikmin type can damage a bramble gate. They come in white and black colors, with black gates having more health than white gates. Some bramble gates in ''Pikmin 2'' have [[poison emitter]]s inside them and can only be destroyed by [[White Pikmin]] as a result.
*Black gates (also known as '''black Bramble Gates''') that are made up of a lattice-like pattern are stronger, but any Pikmin can still remove them.
*Electric fences consist of metal with [[Hazards#Electricity|electricity]] running through; of course, only [[Yellow Pikmin]] can help with clearing these out of the way.
*stone gates, found only in [[Pikmin 1]], require the Yellow Pikmin again, this time due to their affinity for [[bomb-rocks]].  Each blast from a bomb-rock makes the wall fall to a lower stage. There are three colour variations here: white stone gates, which require only three bomb-rocks, gray ones, which require six, and black stone gates, which require nine bomb-rocks.
[[Image:Poison Gate.png|thumb|A black poison gate.]]
Ordinary black and white gates can also be found with pipes emitting [[Hazards#Poison|poison gas]] within, found only in [[Pikmin 2]].  These require the resistance of [[White Pikmin]].


{{clear}}
==Locations==
This is a list of the locations of each type of gate (above ground only: underground numbers vary).


==Dirt wall==
===Pikmin===
[[File:Dirt Wall Closeup P4.jpg|thumb|250px|left|A dirt wall in ''Pikmin 4''.]]
'''[[The Impact Site]]:'''
{{main|Dirt wall}}
*1 white gate
'''Dirt walls''' are sandcastle-like gates found in {{p3}}, {{p4}}, and {{hp}}. They are the most basic type of gate in these games. These types of gates can be destroyed by any Pikmin type, and as they are damaged, parts of the gate will fall away until they are completely destroyed.
*1 gray stone gate
{{clear}}


==Reinforced wall==
'''[[The Forest of Hope]]:'''
[[File:Reinforced Wall P4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A reinforced wall in ''Pikmin 4''.]]
*3 white gates
{{main|Reinforced wall}}
*2 black gates
'''Reinforced walls''' are gates that can only be destroyed with [[bomb rock]]s. Pikmin cannot break these walls on their own. The number of bomb rock explosions needed to destroy a reinforced wall varies by game.
*3 gray stone gates
*1 black stone gate


{{clear}}
'''[[The Forest Navel]]:'''
*1 white gate
*2 black gates
*3 gray stone gates
*2 black stone gates


==Electric gate==
'''[[The Distant Spring]]:'''
[[File:Electric Gate Closeup P4.jpg|thumb|left|250px|An electric gate in ''Pikmin 4''.]]
*2 white gates
{{main|Electric gate}}
*1 black gates
'''Electric gates''' carry an [[Electricity|electrical current]]. As such, Pikmin that are not [[Yellow Pikmin]] cannot touch them, under the risk of death (''Pikmin 2''), temporary paralysis (''Pikmin 3''), or a combination of both (''Pikmin 4''). Other than that, they can be taken down just like any other type of gate.
*1 white stone gate
*1 black stone gate


{{clear}}
'''[[The Final Trial]]:'''
*2 white gates
*1 white stone gate


==Crystal wall==
===Pikmin 2===
[[File:Crystal Wall P4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A crystal wall in ''Pikmin 4''.]]
'''[[Valley of Repose]]:'''
{{main|Crystal wall}}
*2 white gates
'''Crystal walls''' are gates in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'' that require [[Rock Pikmin]] to break. They are made of a sheet of glass-like [[crystal]] between two metal clamps.
*1 poison gate


{{clear}}
'''[[Awakening Wood]]:'''
*2 white gates
*2 poison gates
*2 electric fences


==Ice wall==
'''[[Perplexing Pool]]:'''
[[File:Ice Wall P4.jpg|thumb|left|250px|An ice wall.]]
*1 white gate
{{main|Ice wall}}
*2 black gates
'''Ice walls''' are gates in ''Pikmin 4'' that are made of an [[Ice|icy]] material. Only [[Ice Pikmin]] can destroy these gates without getting frozen.
*1 poison gate
*3 electric fences


{{clear}}
'''[[Wistful Wild]]:'''
*1 white gates
*2 black gates
*1 electric fence


==Bamboo gate==
== Gate strength ==
[[File:Bamboo gate closed P3 screenshot.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A bamboo gate.]]
The strength of both colors of normal gate varies greatly through both Pikmin games, though those above ground tend in general to be much sturdier than the randomly generated ones in [[cave]]s in Pikmin 2. An exception to this is the white gates that enclose the [[Emperor Bulblax]] arena at the [[Final Trial]] in the first Pikmin game, which are exceptionally frail for above-ground gates.
{{main|Bamboo gate}}
'''Bamboo gates''' are gates made out of bamboo sticks, and are found only in ''Pikmin 3''. They require [[Winged Pikmin]] to open, but unlike other gates, they cannot be opened permanently. They require 10 Winged Pikmin to be holding up the gate to allow passage underneath, and when those Pikmin are whistled off, the bamboo sticks will fall, closing the gate.

== Minor Glitch ==
 
[[Image:Gate Glitch.JPG|thumb|100px|The submerged part is seen next to the "10"]]
==Numbered gate==
A visual glitch that occurs with certain gates allows them still to be 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 1. In the latter case, it is a simple black gate near a [[Fiery Blowhog]] and a [[Pellet Posy]] growing in the pool.
[[File:Numbered Gate P4.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A numbered gate.]]
[[Category:Obstacles]]
{{main|Numbered gate}}
'''Numbered gates''' are gates that open once a certain number of nearby objectives have been cleared. These objectives are most often defeating nearby [[Enemy|enemies]]. They are made of metal and have a dot-matrix display on the side for showing a 2-digit number. This number counts down as those objectives are met, and once it reaches 0, the gate opens by lowering into the ground.
 
{{clear}}
 
==Switch gate==
[[File:Switch Gate P4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A switch gate and its button.]]
{{main|Switch gate}}
'''Switch gates''' are gates in ''Pikmin 4'' that can be either raised (blocking a path) or lowered (allowing passage), and are toggled with [[switch]]es. There are three types: '''white gates''' can be lowered with single-button switches and cannot be raised afterwards, and '''red gates''' and '''blue gates''' can be toggled between their raised and lowered states with 2-button switches.
 
{{clear}}
 
==Stubborn rocks==
[[File:P3 Distant Tundra Stubborn Rocks.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A set of stubborn rocks in the Distant Tundra.]]
{{main|Stubborn rocks}}
'''Stubborn rocks''' are walls in ''Pikmin 3'' made of stones that are destroyed by pushing [[iron ball]]s down a slope. They're found frequently in [[Side Stories]], but are never paired with iron balls in them, instead acting as unpassable barriers alongside cinderblocks and wooden signs.
 
{{clear}}
 
== Minor glitch ==
[[File:P2 Gate Glitch.jpg|thumb|200px|The submerged part of the gate is still visible beneath the map.]]
{{todo|Move to the glitches articles.}}
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.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pikmin 3 trial map.jpg|thumb|Concept art for Tropical Forest, with a bramble gate visible between "Area 3" and "Area 4".]]
*In ''Pikmin 3'', Pikmin that are thrown and touch a destroyed gate will perform a celebratory flip and cheer. It is unknown whether this is an oversight or on purpose.
*While bramble gates do not appear in ''Pikmin 3'' as dirt walls replace them, one can be seen in concept art for [[Tropical Forest]], suggesting they were originally planned to return.
