'''Obstacles '''are a main feature in every ''Pikmin'' game. Each type of obstacle requires different amounts of types of Pikmin to overcome them. Every area in each game has at least '''1''' type of obstacle.
[[File:Dirt Wall P3.jpg|thumb|250px|A dirt wall in {{p3}}, an obstacle that blocks a path until it has been destroyed.]]
==Types of Obstacles==
{{todo|Check if Pikmin contribute to a task in a linear fashion or logarithmic fashion. i.e. do 50 Pikmin take exactly twice as long to take down a gate as 100, or are they faster? Check other obstacles too, and check all games.}}
==='''Walls'''===
'''Obstacles''' are interactive objects that stand in the way of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] and [[leader]]s. Some obstacles can be destroyed by having Pikmin [[Combat|attack]] them, some can be overcome through the use of [[tool]]s, and some cannot be destroyed at all and must be worked around. With creative use, some of these obstacles can end up helping the player in unique ways when they are cleared, like a [[cardboard box]] initially being pushed to get out of the way, but also ending up next to a ramp to serve as a makeshift bridge. In this sense, some obstacles can partially serve as tools in and of themselves.
'''Walls''' are obstacles that block paths or shortcuts, and must be broken down with [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]]. There are different types of gates in each game, most of which are Pikmin-specific.


==List of obstacles==
'''Bramble Wall - '''These''' '''are the most common type of wall, and can be destroyed by any type of Pikmin unless hazards are located within or around it. They come in different colors; the darker the color, the longer they take to destroy. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', these are replaced by '''Dirt Walls.'''

<nowiki>*</nowiki> There is an item that causes boulders to fall in [[Bingo Battle]], however.
'''Reinforced Wall''' - These are stone walls present in ''[[Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They must be destroyed by having Pikmin deposit [[Bomb Rock]]s next to them. They also come in different colors, with the darker ones requiring more Bomb Rocks to be used on them.


==Minor obstacles==
'''Electric Gate - '''These types of walls are present in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and can only be destroyed with [[Yellow Pikmin]].
{{main|Minor obstacles}}
Several other kinds of obstacles appear in the ''Pikmin'' series, but are much rarer than the obstacles listed above.


==Trivia==
'''Crystal Wall - '''These walls are composed of a sheet of glass between a large metal clamp. They are present in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and can only be destroyed with either [[Rock Pikmin]] or '''2 '''Bomb Rocks.
*In {{p2}}, Pikmin that are attacking an obstacle while latched on will cause damage at a faster pace than those that are standing on the ground.{{cite youtube|Q6BR1jGGVvk|showing how latched Pikmin are faster than standing Pikmin, in ''Pikmin 2''}} This can be achieved with bridges by pushing the Pikmin off to the side and letting it go back to the bridge on its own, where it should hopefully cling on instead.


==Names in other languages==
'''Bamboo Gate - '''These walls are composed to short bamboo stalks strung together with ropes. They are present in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and can only be overcome with [[Winged Pikmin]]. The Pikmin keeping them up must be left holding it up or else it will fall back down.

'''Water - '''Water is found in every area of every game. It is lethal to all Pikmin except for [[Blue Pikmin]], although [[Winged Pikmin]] can fly over bodies of it. If Pikmin come into contact with water ejected from enemies, it will collect on their leaves and they will suffocate.

{{obstacles}}
'''Electricity - '''Electricity is found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. In the second game, it will instantly kill all Pikmin except for [[Yellow Pikmin]].However, in the third, it is non-lethal and simply stuns Pikmin, who will lay on the ground, immobilized and twitching, until called back.

'''Poison - '''Poison is found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' in the form of fumes emitted by pipes or by certain enemies. Only [[White Pikmin]] are immune to this hazard.
[[Category:Gameplay]]
 
'''Blunt Force - '''Blunt force is present in all ''Pikmin'' games. In the first game, it is present in the form of crushing, but in the other two games, it is also presented in the form of peircing attacks. [[Rock Pikmin]] are immune to this hazard.
 
'''Explosions - '''Explosions are a lethal hazard to every single enemy in the series as well as every Pikmin type. Explosions are caused by certain enemies and the detonation of [[Bomb Rock]]s.
 
'''Abyss - '''The Abyss is a term used to refer to any bottomless pit found in any ''Pikmin'' game. Any Pikmin or creature that fall into the abyss will die immediately.
 
'''Consumption - '''A large number of creatures in the ''Pikmin'' games are capable of eating Pikmin. While no Pikmin is immune to this feat, they can be saved if the enemy is killed or forced to recoil before it swallows the Pikmin. At the end of each day, any Pikmin not with the captains will be consumed by nocturnal predators.
==='''Bridges'''===
'''Bridges''' are obstacles that must be constructed by Pikmin in order to allow access to another section of a level. They are usually found over gaps or a body of water. They are present in every ''Pikmin'' game.
 
In the first two games, bridges were built by having Pikmin roll out a pile of twigs. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', they are built by having Pikmin construct them out of ceramic [[fragments]].
==='''Crystals'''===
'''Crystals '''are obstacles found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and appear as transparent crystaline formations.
 
'''Large Crystals -''' These are large formations that usually block paths or encase important items. They can be destroyed with either [[Rock Pikmin]] or [[Bomb Rock]]s.
 
'''Crystal Nodules - '''These are small crystaline pebbles that pose no threat to Pikmin on their own. However, if there is a [[Skutterchuck]] nearby, it may pick it up and try to throw it at the Pikmin in an attempt to crush them. They can be destroyed by a direct hit from a [[Rock Pikmin]].
==='''Fungus'''===
Different types of '''Fungi '''appear in the ''Pikmin'' games in many forms, and pose as obstacles to the player in different ways.
 
'''Spotcaps '''and '''Kingcaps - '''These are large mushrooms found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They are usually found in clusters, blocking a path or block access to an item of importance. They can be attacked with Pikmin to break them down. Kingcaps have health meters, but Spotcaps can be destroyed in a single hit by any Pikmin.
 
'''Bouncy Mushrooms - '''These are large, flat mushrooms found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They allow access to higher areas if Captains of Pikmin are thown directly on top of them.
 
'''Spiderwort Mold - '''This mold-like formation is found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. When alive, it does not allow [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s in the area to grow. Once killed, they can grow normally until the Mold comes back.
==='''Paper Bags'''===
'''Paper Bags '''are found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', but work differently in each game.
 
In ''Pikmin 2'', they block access to areas and must be crushed by weighing them down with Pikmin.
 
In ''Pikmin 3'', they are closed at the top, giving them a sloped shape. They can be pushed of a ledge to allow easier access to the higher area.
==='''Boxes'''===
'''Boxes '''are found in the original game and in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''.
 
'''Cardboard Box - '''Normal boxes can can be pushed with Pikmin to open up new paths.
 
'''Tin Box - '''Same as normal boxes, but require more Pikmin to push.
 
==='''Miscellaneous'''===
There are many obstacles that are unique and do not fit in any specific category.
 
'''Bluminous Stemple - '''Cave-dwelling plants that grow in crevices in ''Pikmin 3''. Once a nearby '''Electrode '''is activated, the nearby Stemples will bloom. Once bloomed, their petals can act as platforms to cross the crevices.
 
'''Climbing Sticks '''- Obstacles that are present in ''[[Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They are found as a pile of twigs on the floor. When Pikmin are directed towards them, they will construct a large stick out of the pile and use it to climb to a higher area.
 
'''Electrodes '''- Broken circuits found in many caves in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They require a certain amount of Yellow Pikmin to join hands, which passes the electricty through their bodies to complete the circuit, activating a lightbulb somewhere in the level. Once turned on, they remain on and cannot be deactivated.
 
'''Flukeweed - '''Pink Plants that bare a resemblace to [[Fiddlehead]]s. They can be uprooted with [[Winged Pikmin]] to reveal whatever is attachec to their roots.
 
'''Geysers - '''Small gerysers can get be used to get to higher areas. In the first game, they must be activated with [[Blue Pikmin]]. In the second game, they can be activated by any Pikmin. In the third game, they can only be activated by [[Rock Pikmin]].
