Red Pikmin also exhibit an immunity to [[fire]], in that they ignore the heat whereas other Pikmin (besides [[Bulbmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]]) would have their leaf, bud, or flower catch on fire and run off in a panic. According to Olimar's notes in the Pikmin 4 Piklopedia, this is because their skin and muscle fibers are made up of a flame-resistant cellulose. This ability is most useful in ''Pikmin 4'', due to the presence of [[fire starter]]s that only they can pick up and [[sizzling floor]]s that only they can extinguish. It is also useful in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 3'' due to the fact that [[fire geyser]]s are indestructible and [[Fiery Blowhog]]s are prevalent. Their ability is less useful in ''Pikmin 2'', where the geysers can be destroyed by any Pikmin, and Fiery Blowhogs can easily be defeated with [[Purple Pikmin]]. Their main use in the second game is for defeating [[Fiery Bulblax]]es, though this task doesn't always require them. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they act just like in all other games, except they also have the ability to stomp out [[flames]], allowing Olimar or other Pikmin safe passage.

In [[2-Player Battle]] in {{p2}}, Player 1's army is made up of Red Pikmin, while Player 2's army is made up of [[Blue Pikmin]]. For the sake of fairness, Blue Pikmin are given the same 1.5× attack power, and the only elemental hazards are from [[Fiery Blowhog]]s and [[Watery Blowhog]]s.

===Uses===
{{game help|p4|Add instances where the cooling down of sizzling floors is necessary and can only be done with Red Pikmin}}
There are many items in ''Pikmin 4'' that require the use of Red Pikmin to collect. This is due to the existence of [[sizzling floor]]s, obstacles that can only be extinguished by Red Pikmin, and [[fire starter]]s, tools that can only be carried by Red Pikmin.


As Red Pikmin are the they are the first type discovered, there are certain tasks that require Red Pikmin to be used:

Additionally, since they are the first type discovered, there are certain tasks that require Red Pikmin to be used:
*[[Rescue Command Post]] ([[Treasure]]s)

**{{icon|Path Creator|y|v=P4}}: It is on a high ledge which cannot be reached with Oatchi.
Red Pikmin are also required in certain areas due to the need to use a fire starter:
*[[Enemies]]
*[[Cave]]s:
**[[Frozen Inferno]]: Groups of [[dried plant]]s block access to multiple [[treasure]]s as well as the entrance to sublevel 2.
**[[Cradle of the Beast]]: Dried plants on sublevel 1 block carrying routes and the entrance to sublevel 2.
*[[Dandori Challenge]]s:
**The entrance to a Dandori Challenge in the [[Giant's Hearth]] is surrounded by dried plants.
Also, since Dandori Caves limit what types of Pikmin are available, not all of them are possible to get a platinum medal without Red Pikmin.
*[[Dandori Day Care]]: Red Pikmin are the only Pikmin type, and there's just too many [[Gold Nugget]]s to get them all with just [[Oatchi]] and [[Extra Hand]].
*[[Aerial Incinerator]]: Even though the [[Ambiguous Hostel]] is possible to get by making Oatchi grab it as he's falling into a [[pit]], the real problem is getting the Gold Nuggets, because without any Pikmin, it's impossible to get them all before the time is up.
*[[Trial of the Sage Leaf#2nd Story: Snow Problem|2nd Story: Snow Problem]]: Since there's only Red Pikmin here, and a lot of the [[raw material]] is locked behind [[dried plant]]s, it's impossible to clear this, even in [[Dandori Challenge#Overtime|overtime]].
*[[Trial Run]]: There's no high valued [[treasure]]s, and Red Pikmin are the only type, so it's probably impossible to get over 100 {{icon|dandori}}.
 
====Olimar's Shipwreck tale====
Just like the main game mode, it's necessary to use Red Pikmin in order to discover other means of carrying and combat. It's unavoidable to either collect 2 [[ship part]]s with Red Pikmin to get to the [[Blossoming Arcadia]] and find [[Moss]], or to get the [[Yellow Onion]] with Red Pikmin in order to get [[Yellow Pikmin]]. Other than that, there are no ship parts that require Red Pikmin.
 
===Recommended uses===
{{game_help|p4|List all treasures that don't require Reds, but they're useful.}}
Several treasures and other obstacles in ''Pikmin 4'' can be subverted with means other than Red Pikmin, but they are still recommended. [[Sizzling floor]]s, on a few occasions, can only be cooled down by Red Pikmin, and [[fire starter]]s are often helpful but can be substituted in some instances. Here are things that are useful to have Red Pikmin with:
*[[Enemies]]:
**{{icon|Fiery Blowhog|y|v=P4}}: This enemy shoots fire towards the player, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Fiery Blowhog|y|v=P4}}: This enemy shoots fire towards the player, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Fiery Bulblax|y|v=P4}}: Only Red Pikmin and [[Glow Pikmin]] can withstand its flames. However, if the enemy is submerged, its fire goes out. White Pikmin can be ingested to poison it.

*Dandori Caves:
**[[Hotshock Canyon]]: Even though there are Red Pikmin here, it's not excruciatingly difficult to get a platinum medal with only Yellow Pikmin, Oatchi, [[Extra Hand]] and the [[Pebble Pitcher]].
**[[Rockaway Cellars]]: Same as Hotshock Canyon, but with [[Rock Pikmin]] rather than Yellows.
**[[Strategic Freezeway]]: Same as Hotshock Canyon, but with [[Ice Pikmin]] rather than Rocks.
**[[Trial of the Sage Leaf#1st Story: Bulblaxes|1st Story: Bulblaxes]]: Same as Strategic Freezeway.
**[[Trial of the Sage Leaf#6th Story: Gimmick Gambit|6th Story: Gimmick Gambit]]: This challenge's normal path requires Red Pikmin, but it's possible to use the Pebble Pitcher to press the [[button]] to open the final [[gate]].
**[[Hot Sandy Duel]]: Since there's a lot of high valued treasures, a [[Sneak Bomb]], [[Bonus Find]]s, and [[Glow Pikmin]], and the fact that the [[Pebble Pitcher]] can help, it's pretty difficult, but doable.
