'''BonziBUDDY''' ({{j|紫ピクミン|BonsiBADDI}}) is a type of [[Pikmin family|Agent]] found in {{Peedy}}, {{Bonzi}}, {{BonziWORLD}}, and non-story game modes in {{Max}}. He is the first type of [[Pikmin family|agent]] found in ''Peedy The Parrot'', the first of which is found in the [[Emergence Cave]]. His most noteworthy characteristics are their massive weight and [[carrying]] strength &ndash; 10 times those of a regular agent. He is also slower than normal, and has a unique way of attacking enemies in ''Peedy The Parrot'' through a pound. He is specifically required to obtain a number of [[treasure]]s, two of which are needed to gain access to new [[area]]s, making him necessary to complete the game. His defining physical characteristics are his purple color, as the name would imply, as well as his bulbous physique when compared to other Agents, in addition to the straight {{w|hair}} atop his head.

BonziBUDDY shares a number of similarities with [[Merlin]]. At first, he can only be installed through his [[ Files ]]s, and these are only found in various caves. BonziBUDDY does not have an [[App]] of his own, as he can only be installed only through Files, in certain underground areas. His hair is purple rather than others. In addition, at the [[Day#Sunset|end of each day]] in Peedy The Parrot, he is stored in his [[Website]], since he does not have an [[App]] of his own. In BonziBUDDY, he is stored in the App with the rest of the Agents. In addition, for the first time in the series, he can be mass-produced with an App, unlocked by completing the final floor of the [[Trial of the AgentKING]].

==Traits and abilities==
[[File:Purple Pikmin P3 strength.png|thumb|left|200px|Purple Pikmin showing off their strength.]]

Purple Pikmin weigh ten times as much as a regular Pikmin, making them useful for puzzles like [[seesaw blocks]]. As a result of their weight, they are [[throw]]n at a lower arc, and are not knocked back by the windy attacks of the [[Puffy Blowhog|Puffy]] or [[Withering Blowhog]]. Their weight also helps them keep themselves upright, and prevents them from tripping quite as often as other Pikmin types,<ref>[[User:Mariotime315/Pikmyths#Purple Pikmin trip less often|Fan-driven research]]</ref> and in Pikmin 4, keep them from being caught by bubbles. Some airborne enemies can be weighed down with a certain number of Pikmin, and Purples count as 10 for this purpose as well. This means that enemies that fall with a weight of 10 Pikmin on them can be brought down with a single Purple Pikmin.

Their weight, however, also slows them down a lot, even as [[Maturity|flowers]]. Purples cannot move as quickly as other Pikmin types, and move even slower when carrying items. This can result in a player accidentally leaving a Purple Pikmin behind, especially in the leaf stage, while crossing an [[area]]. Despite their weight, [[Blue Pikmin]] can grab them and chuck them out of water just fine in ''Pikmin 2''

These Pikmin have the strength of 10 Pikmin, making them not only helpful to retrieve objects without using up a large number of Pikmin, but also mandatory for the collection of some treasures that require over 100 Pikmin in strength to pick up.

In ''Pikmin 2'', when thrown, they will land with a resounding thump, stunning and seriously injuring larger [[Enemy|beasts]] nearby, and fatally injuring smaller, more fragile creatures such as [[Shearwig]]s and [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s. In addition, they do not need to be precisely thrown at their target, as a small homing system will swerve the Pikmin's fall and make it land on a nearby enemy. Most enemies have a one in three chance of being stunned, and stay stunned for a full five seconds. Some [[boss]]es are harder to stun, or may not be stunned at all, whereas other enemies might be stunned more or less easily, and for different durations of time. This strong landing destroys [[eggs]] immediately, defeats Mitites in a wide radius, and can instantly deactivate [[fire geyser]]s and [[electrical wire]]s. This, combined with the naturally strong impact damage, makes Purple Pikmin the strongest Pikmin to use in a fight. Because the "thud" counts as an attack, it can be used to damage [[poison emitter]]s and [[Fiery Bulblax]]es, given that although the Pikmin cannot latch on or attack with its stem due to the [[hazard]]s, they can still cause damage, despite being put in risk of death right after.

These Pikmin possess the strange ability to anchor extra-dimensional entities such as the [[Waterwraith]] to the current dimension for a brief period due to the gravitational waves that are emitted when they are thrown. They also do not panic when encountering [[Mitite]]s or hearing the roar of [[Emperor Bulblax]]es. Interestingly, they stay latched on to [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Red Bulborb]]s, [[Dwarf Bulbear]]s, and other similar enemies, if they are thrown on top, and only let go when the enemy's death animation is over.

In ''Pikmin 3'', however, many of their iconic traits are no longer prevalent. They no longer deal more damage than Red Pikmin, nor do they stun enemies on impact. Despite this, they still stop to perform a pound move even though it does no extra damage. In addition, they have a slight delay when thrown to latch onto enemies after their "ground pound", as if they are waiting for a non-existent stun. They also lost their wind resistance as proven by the [[Puffy Blowhog]] in [[Twilight Hollow]], and can no longer instantly weigh down airborne enemies as confirmed with the same creature. Also, because no enemies are able to scatter Pikmin like the Mitites, it is unknown if they are still immune to panic fits. As a result, the main use for Purple Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3'' is purely for carrying purposes.

In ''Pikmin 4'', Purple Pikmin behave similarly to ''Pikmin 3'', but now retain their wind resistance from ''Pikmin 2'', which now extends to bubbles which they'll pop sooner like [[Ice Pikmin]]. Although their attack power is kept to 1.5×, making their latched attack equal to Red Pikmin, their pound move is able to deal damage similar to ''Pikmin 2'', dealing nearly twice the amount of damage than [[Rock Pikmin]], meaning their pound attack does about 4× more damage than normal. However their ability to stun enemies upon pound is still removed. Purple Pikmin are also no longer immune to panic from Mitites or Emperor Bulblaxes.

==In ''Pikmin 2''==
===Discovery===
[[File:Pik2PurpPik.jpg|thumb|200px|Purple Pikmin when first discovered in the Emergence Cave.]]
Purples are only truly "discovered" in ''Pikmin 2''. When Olimar and Louie venture into the [[Emergence Cave]], they see the [[Spherical Atlas|top half of a globe]], but it requires more than [[Pikmin limit|100 Pikmin]] to lift &ndash; it needs 101. They venture further through the cave, and find a pair of [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s. After throwing some Red Pikmin in them, they discover the Purple Pikmin, which they then learn are fierce fighters and can carry 10 times their weight, allowing them to retrieve the otherwise "unliftable" treasure.

===Mandatory uses===
Purple Pikmin are mandatory in collecting the following treasures and defeating the following enemies, as no other Pikmin type can take on the task, not even with exploits.
*Treasures
**{{icon|Spherical Atlas|y}}: The first "new area" treasure in the game requires 101 Pikmin to carry, meaning some Purple Pikmin will have to be used.
**{{icon|Geographic Projection|y}}: Same as the Spherical Atlas.
**{{icon|Professional Noisemaker|y}}: The treasure is inside the Waterwraith, which requires Purple Pikmin to defeat.
**{{icon|Doomsday Apparatus|y}}: This treasure requires 1000 Pikmin to carry, or 100 Purple Pikmin.
*Caves
**None
*Enemies
**{{icon|Waterwraith|y}}: The creature is invulnerable, but Purple Pikmin stomps make it vulnerable to all Pikmin attacks.

===Intended uses===
Normally, Purple Pikmin are required to be used in these situations, but with the help of glitches and exploits, they don't have to be used.

*Treasures
**None
*Caves
**[[White Flower Garden]]: Before the entrance to the cave, there is a [[bag]] that requires 200 Pikmin in weight to be crushed. Though, it's possible to enter the cave without Purples by going out of bounds.
*Enemies
**None

===Obtaining Purple Pikmin===
{{guide}}
Retrieval of the [[Doomsday Apparatus]] treasure in ''Pikmin 2'' requires the use of 100 [[Purple Pikmin]]. The best place to get so many would be the [[Subterranean Complex]]. Take a single Pikmin into that cave and skip through the sublevels until you reach the eighth one, with an [[Geyser|exit geyser]], Candypop Buds and some [[eggs]]. Use the [[Queen Candypop Bud]]s first and the [[Violet Candypop Buds]] after to produce 15 Purple Pikmin and 2 [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Blue Pikmin|Blue]] or [[Yellow Pikmin]]. Or, if you are also trying to increase your [[White Pikmin]] count, bring 21 Pikmin and throw 20 of them into the [[Ivory Candypop Bud]]s on floors 3 and 4 to gain 20. When you reach the 7th floor, throw the last non-White Pikmin into the Queen Candypop Buds first and the Violet Candypop Buds after to produce 15 Purple Pikmin and 2 of the primary type of Pikmin.

==In ''Pikmin 3''==
Purple Pikmin, like [[White Pikmin]], can only be found in ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} [[Mission Mode]] and [[Bingo Battle]] stages, and even then, only in some of them. This list contains all levels with Purple Pikmin, either ready to use, or available through [[Violet Candypop Bud]]s.

==In ''Pikmin Bloom''==
In {{pb}}, Purple Pikmin are the fourth Pikmin type unlocked, at [[level]] 7. Their [[seedling]]s require a minimum of 3 carrying strength to be retrieved, along with 3000 steps to grow.  In [[expedition]]s, they have a carrying strength of 5 and have a [[Expedition#Speed|time modifier]] of 1.25. In [[mushroom battle]]s, they have a base [[Mushroom battle#Attack power|attack power]] of 6.

==In ''Pikmin 4''==
{{game help|p4}}
Purple Pikmin can first be found in the [[Engulfed Castle]], with their Candypop Bud appearing right before the Waterwraith's arena. In addition, they also have an Onion of their own for the first time in the series. This Onion can be unlocked in the tenth sublevel of the [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]] by carrying it back to the [[S.S. Beagle]] within the time limit, upon which it will be fused with the main Onion upon returning to the surface.
===Mandatory uses===
Purple Pikmin are mandatory in collecting the following treasures and defeating the following enemies, as no other Pikmin type can take on the task, not even with exploits.
*Treasures
**{{icon|Golden Vaulting Table|y|v=P4}}: Like the Doomsday Apparatus, this treasure requires 1000 Pikmin to carry, or 100 Purple Pikmin and is guarded by an ''Rusted Iron Gate'' which prevents [[Oatchi]] from helping carry the treasure until the Golden Vaulting Table has been dropped from the ledge it sits on. However, an exploit exists allowing Oatchi to reach the treasure on the ledge, meaning it can require only 90 Purple Pikmin.
*Caves
**None.
*Enemies
**None

===Intended uses===
Normally, Purple Pikmin are required to be used in these situations and tasks. However, through the use of exploits and glitches, they can potentially be completed without them.

*Treasures
**{{icon|Glinty Circular Disc|y|v=P4}}: Inside of the Waterwraith in the [[Engulfed Castle]]. While Purple Pikmin initially seem to be required to lower the bag and fight the Waterwraith, it is possible to lower the bag without them if 100 Pikmin are brought to the sublevel, and possible to defeat the Waterwraith without them, as seen below.
**{{icon|Stately Rubber Cutie|y|v=P4}} ([[Serene Shores]]): This treasure is on a part of the map that is inaccessible until reaching the exit of the Engulfed Castle, which requires defeating the Waterwraith, which normally requires Purple Pikmin.
**{{icon|Ambiguous Hostel|y|v=P4}}: Same as Stately Rubber Cutie.
**{{icon|Juicy Gaggle|y|v=P4}} (Serene Shores): Same as Stately Rubber Cutie.
**{{icon|Heroine's Tear|y|v=P4}} (Serene Shores): Same as Stately Rubber Cutie.
*Caves
**[[Engulfed Castle]]: The cave's exit is blocked until the Waterwraith's defeat, which normally requires Purple Pikmin, although it is possible to defeat it without them.
**[[Cavern for a King]]: The 16th sublevel features two Waterwraiths that must be killed to proceed, which normally requires Purple Pikmin.
*Enemies
**{{icon|Waterwraith|y|v=P4}}: The creature is initially invulnerable and can only be made vulnerable through the stomp of a Purple Pikmin. However, if the Waterwraith is somehow elevated - such as, for example, attempting to roll over a treasure or another Waterwraith - it can be frozen through use of an [[ice blast]], which will cause it to plummet to the ground, instantly shattering and killing it.

==Notes==
=== Dalmo’s Notes ===
{{transcript|It's a profoundly heavy feeling, holding a living thing in your arms. It can be overwhelming to realize this thing is really alive! That said, these little ones have a density to them that makes them extremely heavy. To hold them at all is difficult. But don't worry. They're strong enough that they can hold you!|block=y}}

=== Olimar’s Notes ===
{{transcript|Slightly larger in size, Purple Pikmin can weigh up to 10 times as much as other Pikmin species, and when thrown to the ground, their impact creates gravitational waves that can actually warp space-time! It's astonishing.

The density of their muscle fibers is also much higher than that of other Pikmin, allowing them to transport 10 times as much weight as their average-sized counterparts. Their rich purple color is derived from strong polyphenol antioxidants.

Like White Pikmin, they are born from underground Candypop Buds, and no related Onions have been discovered so far. But I think somewhere underground, deep among the relics of the past, a Purple Onion is waiting to be discovered.|block=y}}

=== Louie’s Notes ===
{{transcript|Very heavy. Tenderizing the meat would be way too difficult.|block=y}}

===''Pikmin Bloom'' description===
{{transcript|Purple Pikmin are extra large, and they have little hair-like feelers on their heads. They’re super strong—but they’re also super slow.|block=y}}

==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
{{external|Pikmin as fighters|[[smashwiki:Pikmin (species)|SmashWiki]]|SmashWiki.png}}
Purple Pikmin fight alongside Olimar in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], as well as having trophies and a Spirit based on them. Here, they have the shortest throw distance and the smallest grab range. When thrown at an enemy, rather than latching on, Purples will deliver a blow with knockback, stopping the opponent in their tracks. They are the most durable Pikmin of all and deliver the highest amount of knockback in Olimar's smashes and aerial attacks. Purple Pikmin are also the only Pikmin that will be plucked by Olimar in Home-Run Contest. They also appear as a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|sticker]] in ''Brawl''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the Purple Pikmin Spirit will increase the fighters weight.

===''Pikmin 2'' slam and stun===
Inside the text files in ''Pikmin 2'' are some settings that specify some of the Purple Pikmin's behavior towards enemies and vice-versa.

Most enemies and objects suffer 50 [[Health|points of damage]] whenever a Purple Pikmin lands vertically on top of them, from a [[throw]]. There are a few enemies and objects that only suffer 10 points of damage, however: [[Segmented Crawbster]]s, [[Waterwraith]]s (as well as their rollers), [[Emperor Bulblax]]es, and [[bomb-rock]]s.

Enemies have a 30% chance of becoming stunned when a Purple Pikmin lands on them, with the following exceptions:
*100% chance: [[Fiery Dweevil|Fiery]], [[Hydro Dweevil|Hydro]], [[Anode Dweevil|Anode]] and [[Munge Dweevil]]s.
*10% chance: [[Burrowing Snagret]]s.
*5% chance: [[Emperor Bulblax]]es.
*1% chance: [[Pileated Snagret]]s.
*0% chance: Waterwraiths, [[Empress Bulblax]]es, [[Toady Bloyster]]s, [[Ranging Bloyster]]s, [[Mitite]]s, [[Man-at-Legs|Men-at-Legs]], [[Beady Long Legs]], [[Volatile Dweevil]]s, [[Titan Dweevil]], [[Raging Long Legs]], [[Breadbug]]s, [[Giant Breadbug]]s and [[Segmented Crawbster]]s.

Enemies become stunned for 5 seconds, with the following exceptions, who get stunned for 10: [[Watery Blowhog|Watery]] and [[Fiery Blowhog]]s, [[Male Sheargrub|Male]] and [[Female Sheargrub]]s, [[Shearwig]]s, [[Skitter Leaf|Skitter Leaves]], [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Red Bulborb]]s and Emperor Bulblaxes. Segmented Crawbsters, Breadbugs and Giant Breadbugs have a specific 0 second stun period on top of their 0% stun chance.

While stunned, enemies can't move. However, when attacked with a slam, they jump a little for a split second, in which their stun is disabled.

After an enemy has been stunned, it can't be damaged by a slam; instead, the damage is stored until the stun has wore off. This makes it so that the next Pikmin that attacks the enemy will apply both his normal damage and the damage stored.

The following [[Unused content in Pikmin 2|unused]] values also exist:
*Honeywisps, Lithopod rocks and rubble do not receive damage like normal, but still have the Purple Pikmin stomp damage setting set to 10.
*Honeywisps, Lithopod rocks, rubble, and the Waterwraith's rollers have their stun chance set to 5%, even though they cannot be stunned.
*Waterwraiths and the rollers have their stun time set to 60 seconds, even though the former has a 0% chance of being stunned, and the latter is not an enemy.
*Empress Bulblaxes have the stun time set to 10, even though they have a 0% chance of being stunned.
*Honeywisps, rubble, Lithopod rocks, eggs and bomb-rocks also have the stun time set to 10, even though the first faints after a single attack and the rest are not enemies.
*Mitites, Toady Bloysters, Ranging Bloysters, Men-at-Legs, Beady Long Legs, Volatile Dweevils, Titan Dweevils and Raging Long Legs have a 0% stun chance, but still have their stun time value set to 5.
*Fire geysers, poison emitters, and electrical wires have their stun chance set to 0%, but the stun time set to 5, even though they are not enemies.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pikmin carry size change.png|thumb|The Purple Pikmin carrying the [[Massage Girdle]] is smaller than the one standing behind [[Louie]].]]
* The scientific name of Purple Pikmin, 'Pikminidae yokozunum', is a reference to the highest title in Japanese sumo wrestling, yokozuna. The design and stance of Purple Pikmin also resemble sumo wrestlers.
* Purple Pikmin's models shrink down when carrying objects in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. [[White Pikmin]] also grow in size.
* One of the many [[Onion]]s seen in the good ending of ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' is purple.
* In ''Pikmin 2'', the [[HUD#Standby Pikmin|standby icons]] for leaf and bud Purples lack hair.
** Their icons also use the Yellow Pikmin's ones as a base, as evidenced by stray yellow pixels that match those on the Yellow Pikmin's icons.
* In ''[[Hey! Pikmin]]'', the Onion shows a purple and white color on it, meaning that Purple and White Pikmin have shared Onions with the five other Pikmin types.
* There is evidence to suggest that Purple Pikmin were [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information|originally planned]] to be black, as them and their internal names are <code>piki_p2_black</code> and <code>BlackPom</code> (with White Pikmin and their Candypop Buds being called <code>piki_p2_white</code><code>WhitePom</code>). Furthermore, the [[Waterwraith]]'s internal name also references this absent color, with <code>BlackMan</code>; upon being struck by a Purple Pikmin, the boss becomes a color reminiscent of their skin, which could imply that it would have also turned black had the Pikmin retained their coloration. Finally, in some prerelease screenshots the [[HUD#Standby Pikmin|standby Pikmin]] icon for Purple Pikmin is a black-painted Yellow Pikmin, and one can also see that [[Olimar]]'s Pikmin cursor is black.
