'''Pit''' (also called '''bottomless pit''', '''abyss''' | '''Pit''' (also called '''bottomless pit''', '''abyss''' or '''void''') is the name given to the depths down below where the level is on top of. In games, these pits usually kill or harm creatures that fall into them, and for the most part, their bottom is unknown. In the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], a pit's punishment on an object that falls in depends on a variety of factors. | ||
Most [[area]]s are considered to take place at ground-level, but some areas and [[cave]]s clearly take place suspended above a seemingly endless abyss. There are borders almost everywhere stopping creatures from just walking off the edge and falling down, although some [[Enemy|enemies]] can take steps large enough to walk over these boundaries, and [[leader]]s can throw [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or their own partners over the boundaries. | Most [[area]]s are considered to take place at ground-level, but some areas and [[cave]]s clearly take place suspended above a seemingly endless abyss.

This can be proven by the fact that, in some [[glitches|extraordinary cases]], Pikmin or leaders can go through the ground, and will act as if they had fallen into a regular pit. | ||

The only way to access abysses in | The only way to access abysses in the main mode is through glitches that push objects under or off the level. In [[Mission Mode]] and [[Bingo Battle]] however, pits exist in the same fashion as in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', that is, as the area below metallic levels. In Mission Mode, this is [[Clockwork Chasm]], and in Bingo Battle, this is the [[Rusted Labyrinth]] and [[Corroded Maze]]. | ||

In ''Pikmin 3'', falling into the abyss was hard, but possible, prior to the [[Update|1.4.0 update]]. Before said version, leaders could only touch the pit plane by [[Glitches in Pikmin 3#Early Winged Pikmin|glitching into walls]]. Much like in ''Pikmin 2'', leaders that touch the void are merely respawned back in a specific location, which can be used to skip portions of the area. In ''Pikmin 3'', with the existence of the [[Rusted Labyrinth]], it is possible for leaders to be thrown into the abyss, making it the first time in the series in which leaders can touch the abyss on purpose, instead of only with exploits. | In ''Pikmin 3'', falling into the abyss was hard, but possible, prior to the [[Update|1.4.0 update]].

Much like in ''Pikmin 2'', leaders that touch the void are merely respawned back in a specific location, which can be used to skip portions of the area. After the aforementioned update, leaders started taking [[health|damage]] when falling off (one third of their maximum health), and would respawn back on the stage, although in a different place than before, removing some exploits.

Pikmin that fall into the abyss will be killed. In ''Pikmin 3'', their death scream is long and high-pitched, clearly noting that they have been thrown into one. Although rare, it is possible for Pikmin to touch the pit plane on seemingly "pitless" areas, via a glitch such as the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]]. | Pikmin that fall into the abyss will be killed.

In ''Pikmin'', the only way to see enemies fall off is by luring a Shearwig into an area with a low boundary, damaging it, and hoping it flies over it.

Other than that, there is [[Glitches in Pikmin#Beady Long Legs escape|a notorious glitch]] with the [[Beady Long Legs]], in that if it escapes its arena, and is lured to the bottomless pit near the section with the [[Libra]], the game will freeze. | ||
In ''Pikmin 2'', the boundaries on some of the metal-themed cave sublevels are low enough for large enemies to cross over, such as [[Gatling Groink]]s and [[Fiery Bulblax]]es. These enemies can be made to cross the edge by having prey on the other side; they'll walk off while attempting to chase their target. This can be exploited in order to kill the enemies easily and without consequence. | In ''Pikmin 2'', the boundaries on some of the metal-themed cave sublevels are low enough for large enemies to cross over, such as [[Gatling Groink]]s and [[Fiery Bulblax]]es.

The enemies, however, do not take any damage. This is observable in [[Mission Mode]] in stages such as the [[Clockwork Chasm]], and in [[Bingo Battle]] in stages such as the [[Corroded Maze]]. | ||

[[Ship part]]s that fall into a pit will not return. | {{todo|Explain what happens to the cursor in each game – does it disappear (sinks to the bottom of the bottomless pit), or does it stay on an invisible plane at ground level?}} | ||
[[Ship part]]s that fall into a pit will not return. This is normally not a problem, but the [[Libra]] has the potential to [[Glitches in Pikmin#Libra glitch|fall off the island]] it is at while being carried, and if it falls into the void, it cannot be recovered. | |||
In ''Pikmin 2'', [[treasure]]s that fall off will simply reappear back on the stage near the point they fell. Specifically, they reappear on the closest [[Carrying#Paths|carrying waypoint]]. This is also true for treasures being carried by [[Dweevils]] or treasures that are inside undefeated enemies. | |||
