'''Obstacles '''are a main feature in every [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' game]]. Each type of obstacle requires different amounts of types of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to overcome them. Every [[Areas|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.
'''Dirt Wall - '''A basic wall made of dirt. It is the replacement of Bramble Walls in ''Pikmin 3. ''Any Pikmin can destroy it, though [[Rock Pikmin]] are not an effective way of destroying it. All Dirt walls take 1 [[Bomb Rock]] to take down. It is more effective to have Pikmin attack from the top than the bottom. 


==Minor obstacles==
'''Reinforced Wall''' - These are stone walls present in ''[[Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They must be destroyed by having Pikmin drop [[Bomb Rock]]s next to them. They also come in different colors, with the darker ones (''Pikmin ''only) requiring more Bomb Rocks to be used on them. All Reinforced Walls in ''Pikmin 3 ''take 3 bombs to take down. 
{{main|Minor obstacles}}
Several other kinds of obstacles appear in the ''Pikmin'' series, but are much rarer than the obstacles listed above.


==Trivia==
'''Electric Gate - '''These types of walls are present in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and can only be destroyed with [[Yellow Pikmin]]. They go down much faster in ''Pikmin 3''.
*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==
'''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. How many hits from a Rock Pikmin varies, with some taking 20 hits, and others taking more than 35.

==See also==
'''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.

===Hazards===
{{refs}}
'''Hazards '''are a common obstacle found in every''''' '''Pikmin'' game and act as both a weakness and specialty to each Pikmin type.


{{obstacles}}
'''Fire - '''Fire is found being emitted by enemies, as well as erupting out of the ground in the form of a geyser. Only [[Red Pikmin]] are immune to this hazard.


[[Category:Obstacles| ]]
'''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 water. If Pikmin come into contact with water ejected from enemies, it will collect on their leaves and they will suffocate unless they are called back.
[[Category:Gameplay]]
 
'''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 ''Pikmin 3'', 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. In addition, there are forms of poison in [[Pikmin 3]], one of which, is produced by the [[Toady Bloyster]] and the Sputtle Fish, another form is released by the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. These forms, however, are non-lethal and Pikmin affected by them will revert to normal after a few seconds.
 
'''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 piercing 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. In ''Pikmin ''and ''Pikmin 3, ''this hazard can only occur if a pikmin is caught in the explosion of a nearby bomb. In ''Pikmin 2, ''however, certain enemies can cause explosions. Currently, no Pikmin is immune to this hazard, altho wild [[Bulbmin]] have been known to survive this hazard if they are still under the leadership of their parent.
 
'''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. These pits are found most commonly in some caves of ''Pikmin 2, ''and some Bingo Battle stages in ''Pikmin 3''. The only area in ''Pikmin ''that has this hazard is the Forest Navel. Technically, Winged Pikmin are immune to falling into pits, but can still be thrown into one. 
 
'''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 or near the Onion will be consumed by nocturnal predators. In ''Pikmin 2,'' Blue Pikmin are statistically more likely to be consumed than any other Pikmin type.
 
===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.[[File:Fragment_pile.jpg|thumb|Piles of fragments can be spread across different parts of an area in hard-to-reach places.]]
 
===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. They always take '''10 '''direct hits with Rock Pikmin to break. The [[Quaggled Mireclops]] has a crystal on its body that sheilds its weak point, called the '''Mireclops Crystal'''. This particullar crystal takes a total of '''40''' hits to break; '''19''' to initiate the battle, and an additional '''21 '''to completely destroy it.
 
'''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]].
 
===Plants and Fungi===
Different types of '''Fungi and Plants '''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 if thrown directly on top.
 
'''Bouncy Mushrooms - '''These are large, flat mushrooms found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They allow access to higher areas if Captains or Pikmin are thrown 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 grows back.
 
'''Bloominous 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.
 
'''Flukeweed - '''Pink plants that bare a resemblace to [[Fiddlehead]]s. They can be uprooted with [[Winged Pikmin|W]][[Winged Pikmin|inged Pikmin]] to reveal whatever is attached to their roots. [[Pellets]], [[Fruit]], and [[Sheargrubs]] can be found under Flukeweeds. The blue [[Onion]] in [[Pikmin 3]] is activated by pulling the Flukeweed on top.
 
===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 ''Pikmin'' and in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''.
 
'''Cardboard Box - '''Normal boxes can can be pushed with Pikmin to open up new paths. They weigh 10 in ''Pikmin'', and 20 in ''Pikmin 3. ''
 
'''Tin Box -  '''These are the same as normal boxes, just retextured. 
===Mechanical===
These obstacles are electronic and man-made in appearance.
 
'''Electrodes '''- Broken circuits found in many caves in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. Yellow Pikmin can join hands while touching these, which passes the electricity through their bodies to complete the circuit, activating a lightbulb somewhere in the cave. Once turned on, they remain on and cannot be deactivated.
 
'''Conveyor Switch '''- Conveyor Switches are sets of yellow and blue buttons found throughout [[Clockwork Chasm]]. When a Pikmin or Captain is thrown on top of the currently-unpressed button, it will become pressed, causing the other button to rise and also causing every conveyor belt in the area to change direction. If a Pikmin or Captain is standing on the pressed button when the other is activated, they will be thrown off by the force of the button rising up.
 
'''Conveyor Belts '''- Convery Belts are found only in [[Clockwork Chasm]]. They are large, metallic belts that constantly rotate in a single direction. If Pikmin or Captains walk across them moving in the same direction as they are, they will move twice as fast. If they are moving against them, however, they will be slowed down drastically. The direction they rotate in can be changed by Conveyor Switches.
 
===Miscellaneous===
There are many obstacles that are unique and do not fit in any specific category.
 
'''Clipboards- ''' Clipboards are obstacles that block items and also open up certain paths. They lay flat on the ground, usually covering something, and can be moved by having Winged Pikmin lift the handle.
 
'''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.
 
'''Geysers ''' - Small geysers that can be used to get to higher areas. In the first game, they must be activated with Pikmin. In ''Pikmin 2, ''geysers are larger and are used to exit a cave. In Challenge Mode, Pikmin must dig at the geyser in order to activate it. In ''Pikmin 3'', some are already active, and others are encased in a Crystal Nodule. As such, most of them can only be activated by [[Rock Pikmin]].
 
'''Iron Balls - '''Large metallic balls that sit at the top of slopes. They require 20 Pikmin to push them down a slope, causing them to crush enemies in the way and smash through walls. Other Pikmin not pushing the ball can also be crushed, however. 
 
'''Hay - '''Hay is an uncommon obstacle only present in ''Pikmin 3. ''It is only found once in Story Mode (located'' ''in the [[Distant Tundra]]) and a few times in the [[Jigsaw Fortress]] level in [[Bingo Battle]] mode. It is found as a large bundle of hay, but when Pikmin are ordered towards it, they will take off small pieces and place them elsewhere. When all the pieces are relocated, they form a slope that can be used to access a higher area, much like Paper Bags.
 
'''Dirt Mounds - '''Small burrows that contain different items. To retrieve the items, simply send Pikmin to enter the mounds, and they will dig the items out. They usually contain Bomb Rocks, but can also contain [[Pellets]], [[Data File]]s, and sometimes even Fragments that can be used to build bridges.
 
'''Lily Pads - '''Aquatic plants that float on the surface of water allowing for captains and Pikmin to use them as boats to get across watery areas.
 
'''Seasaw Blocks - '''A set of blocks that work as a scale. The side with the most weight will be weighed down, and the opposite side will be lifted up. In ''Pikmin 2, ''they are always found next to or in close proximity of each other. There is even a more complicated set of Seasaw Blocks in the Perplexing Pool that involves 4 blocks. The way this works is that alternate blocks act as one scale. In ''Pikmin 3, ''they are found apart from eachother, but still function the same. 
 
'''Elevator Platforms - '''A scale that is hanging from a pulley system. It has the same concept of the Seasaw Blocks, that being that the side with more weight will fall down, and the other will rise up. There is one with some bolts on it, which requires more weight to weigh down. This is needed to get the Astringent Clump in the Garden of Hope, although Winged Pikmin can retrieve the fruit without the need of the Platforms. 
 
'''Dam - '''A large stick that is blocking a river. It is found in the Twilight River, and is blocking some lilly pads from going downstream. There are 3 Flukeweeds attached to the Dam, and by making 10 Winged Pikmin try to pull up the Flukeweeds, they will lift the Dam up and allow the Lilly Pads to travel along.
