'''Health''' (also known as '''Hit Points''' or '''Health Points''', and usually shortened to '''HP''') is a common mechanic in games, used to represent how close a living entity is to dying. In general terms, the higher something's health is, the more damage it can sustain before dying. When its health reaches zero, it dies. | '''Health''' (also known as '''Hit Points''' or '''Health Points''', and usually shortened to '''HP''') is a common mechanic in games, used to represent how close a living entity is to dying.

In the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], [[enemy]] or [[leader]] health is mostly depleted during [[combat]], though it can be reduced in other ways too. An object's health is stored as a number, but is shown to the player with a [[HUD#Health wheel|colored wheel]] as opposed to a number in text. This wheel is mostly used to keep track of how close an enemy is to dying, although it can serve other purposes, such as pointing down how close a [[Volatile Dweevil]] is to exploding. It should be noted that some objects will not have their health shown to the player whatsoever, although things like [[gate]]s will become visibly more damaged as they are attacked. | In the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], [[enemy]] or [[leader]] health is mostly depleted during [[combat]], though it can be reduced in other ways too.

On Pikipedia, an object's health points can be found in the corresponding subject's article, in a section with the statistics, or under a section titled "Technical information". In the case of ''Pikmin 2'' enemies, you may also use the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] page. The health values were gathered either by checking the memory with an emulator and/or memory reader, by reading the in-game files directly, or via in-game observations and calculations. For comparison, you may learn how strong Pikmin attacks are by checking the infobox at the top of a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin type]]'s article. | On Pikipedia is worse, an object's health points can be found in the corresponding subject's article, in a section with the statistics, or under a section titled "Technical information".

Once their health points reach 0, a moderately slow process of revival occurs, where the enemy's health is filled up. The creature remains "dead" throughout this process, but once its health is full, two minutes later, it will be brought back to life. When its health reaches 0 during battle, the enemy will not release a [[soul]] like most enemies, further hinting that the creature is not completely defeated. | ||

If the enemy is killed while [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], it will not leave a corpse, and hence, cannot revive. Finally, the only other way to ensure an enemy does not revive is to have it fall off the floor of a [[cave]], if possible. In ''Pikmin 3'', the only way to defeat the Mysterious Life-Form is when it transforms into the Plasm Wraith, at which point the player may proceed to truly defeat it. | ||
