'''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.

==''Pikmin''==
[[File:GeyserP1.png|thumb|A geyser shooting water in ''Pikmin''.]]
In {{p}}, 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.

===Locations===
====Story Mode====
*[[The Impact Site]]: An inactive geyser is hidden among some flowers directly next to the tree stump housing three 10 pellets next to the base.
*[[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 [[Golden 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 [[Crimson 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 Golden Candypop Bud in the area of the [[Chronos Reactor]], in a pool just beyond a black reinforced wall, allowing access to a Crimson Candypop Bud northeast of the base, and in a pit close to the [[UV Lamp]]. Inactive geysers are found behind a skull containing [[bomb rocks]] 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 Final Trial]]: A pair of active geysers are located in the water to the right of the bridges. They allow Olimar to access a spot containing bomb rocks, which are required to bring down a reinforced wall.

====Challenge Mode====
*The Impact Site: A geyser is hidden among some flowers directly next to the tree stump housing three 10 pellets next to the base.
*The Forest of Hope: One is located near the can where it's possible to find the [[Nova Blaster]] in Story Mode.
*The Forest Navel: Active geysers can be found next to a pool of water behind the [[S.S. Dolphin]], enabling the player to quickly access the area where the [[Analog Computer]] is found in Story Mode, or to get sent back to the pool of water where the [[Number 1 Ionium Jet|#1 Ionium Jet]] is found.
*The Distant Spring: A geyser is located near the two [[Pellet Posies]] and the [[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.
*The Final Trial: A pair of active geysers are located in the water to the right of the bridges. They allow Olimar to access a spot containing [[Blue Pikmin]]. Another pair of geysers are located in the path leading to a pipe containing bomb rocks. That path can be accessed once the player has taken down a reinforced wall using the bomb rocks found in the cardboard box.

==''Pikmin 2''==
[[File:Geyser.png|thumb|right|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.

In [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], geysers are found hidden on the last floor, and only rise up when [[The Key]] of the level is retrieved. However, it still won't allow the level to be completed: the geyser is dormant when it rises, and the Pikmin need to attack it until it activates.

===Glitch===
[[File:Geyser underground.jpg|thumb|left|A geyser under the floor in [[Novice Training]]. Its pointed top is obscured by the wall of the alcove it's in.]]
There is a visual glitch that occurs with geysers and hole entrances in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|''Pikmin 2'''s Challenge Mode]]. These objects are sometimes visible underneath the surface of the [[cave]], and can be seen by looking underneath the floor from somewhere else. These geysers are only visible underground in Challenge Mode because they start under the surface and rise up when [[The Key]] is collected.

==''Pikmin 3''==
[[File:Geyser P3 screenshot.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.

===Locations===
====Story Mode====
*[[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]].
*[[Formidable Oak]]: A geyser can be found near the hole leading inside the termite hill: it can be used to get back up to the path leading to the S.S Drake.

==''Hey! Pikmin''==
{{image|A geyser without a twig.}}
[[File:Below the Ice 6.jpg|250px|thumb|A geyser with a twig on it in [[Below the Ice]].]]
In {{hp}}, geysers are wider jets of water that move up and down at specific intervals. By walking on them, they will push Olimar and Blue Pikmin up and down like an elevator. In [[Below the Ice]], an area with some non-Blue Pikmin types, a geyser is found with a twig on top, protecting these Pikmin from the water. They are quite rare, mostly being found in underground locations.

=== Locations ===
*'''[[Ravaged Rustworks]]''':
**[[Drenchnozzle Den]]: This area is full of geysers, where they act as the "gimmick". Olimar must go through many simple puzzles regarding these objects.
*'''[[Snowfall Field]]''':
**[[Below the Ice]]: A single geyser can be found in this area, which leads to the [[Humor Implant]]. This is the one with a stick on top.

==Trivia==
*There is a geyser in [[The Forest Navel]] next to the [[Gravity Jumper]]. 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 leads to nowhere helpful.
*In {{p1}}, geysers are technically [[bosses]]. As a result, when a player approaches one, the [[Music in Pikmin#Areas|music]] will change to the combat variant.
