'''Pikpik carrots''' are vegetables native to [[Captain Olimar]]'s home planet, [[Hocotate]]. In [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], it is stated that Olimar's favorite soup contains "three large onions and hundreds of miniature red, yellow, and blue carrots". The reason [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] have their name is because Olimar believes that Pikmin resemble them, and they live in [[Onion|craft that resemble onions]], which also reminds him of his favorite soup.


'''Pikpik brand carrots''', also known simply as '''Pikpik carrots''' ({{j|ピクピクニンジン|Pikupikuninjin}}, formatted as '''pikpik carrots''' in ''Hey! Pikmin'' and '''Pikpik Carrots''' in ''Pikmin 4'') are a brand of vegetable native to [[Captain Olimar]]'s home planet, [[Hocotate]]. Each Pikpik carrot has two roots at its bottom, resembling legs, and a long green stalk ending in a single large leaf at its top. All seen Pikpik carrots are red, however in {{p1}}’s European manual, Pikpik carrots of red, yellow and blue are mentioned.{{cite quote|The night before I left, my wife prepared my favourite soup. This soup is a famous dish on my planet, made with three large onions and hundreds of miniature red, yellow, and blue carrots.|Captain Olimar|the European instruction manual of ''Pikmin''}} In multiple games, Pikpik carrots are stated to be the namesake for [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], as Olimar noticed a strong resembence between the two.
In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', pikpik carrots are seen in the in-game [[Piklopedia]] and look just like normal carrots - orange, about the size of a Pikmin, and having long leafy parts. These can be thrown at the Piklopedia's enemies and plants to see their reactions, such as the creature moving or waking up, or eating and attacking the carrots. The creatures will usually treat the carrots like [[Pikmin]].


In {{p2}}, Pikpik carrots are seen in the in-game [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]]. These can be thrown at the Piklopedia's enemies and plants to see their reactions, such as the creature moving or waking up, or eating and attacking the carrots. The creatures will usually treat the carrots like [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Carrots are also mentioned by Louie in his notes on the [[Emperor Bulblax]].
In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', pikpik carrots are mentioned by [[Brittany]] while on the [[S.S. Drake]]. She states Hocotate is famous for the pikpik carrots cultivated there, and that personally, she dislikes the taste.
 
In {{p3}}, Pikpik carrots are mentioned by [[Brittany]] while on the [[S.S. Drake]]. She states Hocotate is famous for the Pikpik carrots cultivated there, and that personally, she dislikes the taste, [[Alph]] is very surprised that [[Brittany]] even tried one.
 
In {{hp}}, the [[S.S. Dolphin II]] mentions that the Pikmin are similar to pikpik carrots. In the log for [[Red Pikmin]], Olimar mentions that he loves eating pikpik carrots. In the log for the [[Squirting Squirt]], Olimar talks about the time when his son got a box of his favorite pikpik carrot cookies wet by playing with his water gun.
In ''[[The Night Juicer]]'', one of the {{psm}}, Captain Olimar is juicing some pikpik carrots, although because of their resemblance to Pikmin, the Pikmin that are observing Olimar during this process get frightened, as they think that Olimar is killing Pikmin; although at the end it all comes out as a misunderstanding.

In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', Pikpik Carrots are available as a usable [[pack]] item from The Lab. They can be thrown at creatures to distract them, and their bitter taste will briefly immobilize any creature that eats one, in a similar manner to the [[Lightning Shock]]. [[Throw]]ing them has the same effect as throwing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], meaning they will crush [[Dwarf Bulborb (disambiguation)|Dwarf Bulborbs]], block a [[Horned Cannon Beetle]]{{'s}} blowhole and press [[buttons]]. They have no effect on enemies in the Piklopedia, as these Pikpik Carrots are normal, non-bitter ones.

'''Golden pikpik carrots''' are completely golden, even the leafy stem. They are a bit longer than the orange variety, and have three curled roots, instead of the basic cone-shaped root. These are thought to be very valuable, and at the beginning of ''Pikmin 2'', [[Louie]] is instructed to deliver a cargo of them. However, Louie encountered a "ravenous space bunny" which [[Cutscenes#Louie's Dark Secret|supposedly]] ate the whole shipment.

In {{P4}}, Golden Pikpik carrots are briefly mentioned in Louie's [[Pikmin 4 voyage log|voyage logs]]. In it, Louie mentions that golden Pikpik carrots are his favorite food, and alludes to their rarity. He then references an intent to try to eat some when he is tasked to deliver some, in reference to the plot of ''Pikmin 2''.

Inside the files of {{p2}} and {{p3}}, there is data for an entirely new species of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], which are essentially the Pikpik carrots. By editing the files, it is possible to force the games to spawn Pikpik carrots as usable Pikmin.{{cite youtube|t8ZV4AzGglg|showing Pikpik carrots as Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3''}}
It is possible to edit the [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] files in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and force the game to add pikpik carrots to the player's party.


This is best done in ''Pikmin 2'' by editing the [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] level files, which have data for the starting number of Pikmin of each type, including a 7th type – the carrots. Internally, the game recognizes the carrots as being a type of Pikmin – this is necessary in order for the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]]'s carrot feature to work properly. The inclusion of a configuration file setting to enable Pikpik carrots as party members is however quite mysterious.

Appearance-wise, they float slightly above ground, and are animated in a fashion similar to those of regular Pikmin, except less articulated. Their stems always include a leaf, regardless of their maturity or the effects of an [[ultra-spicy spray]]. When idle, their stems glow green, much like [[Bulbmin]]. All of their sound effects match those of regular Pikmin, besides Bulbmin.


===Appearance===
They can be grabbed, [[throw]]n, buried, [[pluck]]ed, and overall, act like all other Pikmin types. However, they bear no resistance to any [[hazard]], nor do they have any other special attribute.
They look the same as the carrots seen anywhere else in the series: they look like a carrot, naturally, with a stem with a leaf on top, and with two root endings on the bottom. In-game, they float slightly above ground, and are animated in a fashion similar to that of regular Pikmin, except their model only moves and stretches; they don't bend.


In ''Pikmin 2'', their stems always include a leaf, regardless of their [[maturity]] or the effects of an [[ultra-spicy spray]], but can have a bud or flower in the same place as the leaf. When idle, their stems glow green, much like [[Bulbmin]], and all of their sound effects match those of regular Pikmin, besides Bulbmin. They do not release a soul.
The code that shows the standby Pikmin type on the [[HUD]] ignores these type of Pikmin, so they lack an icon.
 
In ''Pikmin 3'', when idle, their stems glow peach, and their [[soul]]s are white. When they [[carry]] something, the [[HUD#Fraction numbers|fraction numbers]] are cream-colored.
 
===Behavior===
In ''Pikmin 2'', they can be grabbed, [[throw]]n, buried, [[pluck]]ed, and overall, act like all other Pikmin types. However, they bear no resistance to any [[hazard]], nor do they have any other special attribute.
 
In ''Pikmin 3'', however, they are more limited: they act like normal, but cannot be grabbed or [[throw]]n. If they try to attack something, the game freezes. If they deliver an item to an Onion, it does its spitting animation, but no seeds come out.
 
===Other quirks===
* In both games, the code that shows the standby Pikmin type on the [[HUD]] ignores these type of Pikmin, so they lack an icon.
* Although they have no real Pikmin behavior in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]], they will still turn around to face the creature, after being thrown. Their front is the opposite side from where the stem droops.
* When entering the final sublevel, if the active leader bumps against carrot Pikmin while the "FINAL FLOOR!"/"FINAL LEVEL!" text is on-screen, the [[HUD]] will present a bud [[Blue Pikmin]] on the standby icon.
