'''Geysers''' are water fountains found in the {{pg}}. They are helpful to the player, in that they propel [[leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to a higher location. Their exact functions are different in each game.

[[File:P1 Active Geyser.png|thumb|A geyser shooting water in ''Pikmin''.]]

In {{p1}}, small geysers can be found in various locations throughout each of the five areas, except [[The Forest of Hope]]. Geysers are usually inactive, resembling little more than rocky protrusions from the ground, and must be unblocked by directing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] towards them. An exception to this rule is a geyser in a hole near the [[UV Lamp]] in [[The Distant Spring]] and the two located at [[The Final Trial]], which are always activated. Active geysers will bubble and send [[Olimar]] flying into the air when he stands on them, allowing access to otherwise unreachable high-up areas and sometimes providing shortcuts over large features. These geysers do not propel Pikmin, meaning that to use a geyser to go up a ledge with a squad, the Pikmin must be thrown up first.

*[[The Forest Navel]]: Active geysers can be found next to a pool of water behind the [[S.S. Dolphin]], to the east of the [[Fiery Blowhog]] area, leading towards a yellow [[Candypop Bud]] and far down to the south next to a bridge leading to the [[Gravity Jumper]]. There are inactive geysers located in the water pool area to the north of the map near the [[Number 1 Ionium Jet|#1 Ionium Jet]], southeast from the base next to a slope, around the base of the [[Blue Onion]], in a small pool on the islet where the [[Libra]] is found, and in the area of the [[Analog Computer]], directly next to a [[climbing stick]] pile and close to a red [[Candypop Bud]].

*[[The Distant Spring]]: An active geyser can be found in the same tree stump as the [[Zirconium Rotor]], to the far north where the [[Number 2 Ionium Jet|#2 Ionium Jet]] is, next to a raised platform holding a yellow Candypop Bud in the area of the [[Chronos Reactor]], in a pool just beyond a black reinforced wall, allowing access to a red Candypop Bud northeast of the base, and in a pit close to the [[UV Lamp]]. Inactive geysers are found behind a skull containing [[bomb rock]]s in an alcove guarded by a [[Spotty Bulbear]] west from the base and next to a tree stump near the [[Gluon Drive]] to the west of the area.

*The Distant Spring: A geyser is located near the two [[Pellet Posies]] and the [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Red Bulborb]]. It provides access to a little tree stump. Two other ones are located near the skull. Finally, a geyser can be found in the area where the [[Pilot's Seat]] lies, and a last one is found in the large tree stump containing a Puffy Blowhog.

[[File:P2 Active Geyser.png|thumb|A geyser in ''Pikmin 2''.]]

In {{p2}}, large geysers can be found in every [[cave]]. Their purpose is as a means of returning to the surface: the [[leader]]s and the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] jump into the water, which propels them upwards through a hole in the ceiling, out of the cave. [[Bulbmin]] cannot use geysers. All caves have geysers on their lowest sublevel, but some caves have geysers on earlier sublevels, generally a few floors down, as a means of leaving safely if the player is lacking in Pikmin. These geysers are common on [[rest sublevel]]s.

[[File:P3 Inactive Geyser.jpg|thumb|A geyser in ''Pikmin 3''.]]

In {{p3}}, geysers are small (like in ''Pikmin''), and are able to propel both leaders and Pikmin upwards to a specific location. Geysers are always active. Sometimes, [[Crystal#Small crystal|crystals]] will be clogging the geysers, and will need to be destroyed with [[Rock Pikmin]] before the geyser can be used. Geysers can also be used by leaders while moving with [[Go Here!]], and by Pikmin in the process of carrying small objects like [[fragment]]s.

*[[Distant Tundra]]: A geyser is located in a room containing [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]]es and help the player access the higher area located behind the S.S Drake. Another geyser can be found in the cave where [[Yellow Pikmin]] are found, near the slide. Two geysers are located in the northern section of the area with the [[Arctic Cannon Larva]]e. Another geyser can be found in the cave containing the [[Spotty Bulbear]] and provide access to a platform that can be used to exit the cave if the player is unable to lift the [[bamboo gate]].

=====Collect treasure!=====

*[[Fortress of Festivity]]: A geyser is found near a [[Bouncy Mushroom]] and propels the player to a slide leading to some Yellow Pikmin. Another geyser lies near a stocking, and another one is located directly in the landing site, and leads the player to the pizza and the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]].

*[[Beastly Caverns]]: A geyser can be found near the two blue [[Candypop Bud]]s and the two [[elevator platforms]]. It propels the player to a path leading to a pile of nuggets.

*[[Forgotten Cove]]: A geyser is located right in front of [[Alph]], and another geyser is close to a pool of water, near a [[dirt wall]] next to the landing site.

=====Battle enemies!=====

*Tropical Forest: A geyser near the vine provides access to the upper part of the area where Brittany is.

*Thirsty Desert: A geyser lies near the Blue Onion, in the little room containing a Spotty Bulbear. A second one can be found in the part with the Blue Onion and provides access to the [[Red Onion]]. A third geyser is found near the [[Orange Bulborb]] and allows access to the Red Onion. A fourth one is located near the same Onion can be used to get propelled to the platform with a [[Bulborb]]. Finally, a fifth geyser in the part with the [[Whiptongue Bulborb]] provides access to the same platform.

*[[Formidable Oak Remix]]: A geyser can be found next to a [[cardboard box]], and another one is in the part containing two rock [[Candypop Bud]]s, three [[Bulborb]]s and six Dwarf Bulborbs.

*Clockwork Chasm: Same as the Collect Treasure! version, plus a second geyser located on an iron platform along with a drop of [[ultra-spicy spray]].

 

==''Pikmin 4''==

[[File:P4 activated Air Geyser.jpg|thumb|An unclogged geyser in ''Pikmin 4''.]]

In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', geysers shoot air instead of water. They can propel the leader, Oatchi, and Pikmin, and can serve a few purposes, such as taking the player to higher platforms in caves or over walls on the surface. Some geysers may be plugged by a stone, rendering it unusable and inactive. In order to activate the geyser, the stone must be attacked with Pikmin or Oatchi until it is unlodged. Geysers are not to be confused with [[cave exit]]s, large fans that let the player exit a cave, or [[water spout]]s, which spew a [[water]] hazard from the ground.

*There is an inactive geyser in [[The Forest Navel]] next to the [[Gravity Jumper]], with a path leading up to it. It is possible that this is the result of a [[Mistake|leftover]] from a [[Pikmin prerelease information|previous version of the area]], as the geyser in the final game only shoots the player a short distance into the lake that it is facing, though it does shoot the player upwards considerably high.

*In {{p1}}, geysers are technically [[boss]]es. As a result, when a player approaches one, the [[Music in Pikmin#Areas|music]] will change to the combat variant.
