''' | '''Spirits''' appear every time a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or [[enemy]] is killed. These ghostly shapes ascend slowly until they fade away, reminding or alerting the player that a Pikmin or enemy has fallen. | ||

Their appearance is slightly transparent and they vary between the games. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', every Pikmin has a blue spirit, irrelevant of the color of the Pikmin itself, while spirits in all other ''Pikmin'' games, including both ''[[New Play Control!]]'' remakes, are representative of the dead Pikmin's type, differing in color and slightly in shape. | ||

Enemy spirits have a pink-purple color and look like a bubble, and leave a transparent trail behind. Two holes resembling eyes are visible near the shape's center. [[Bulbmin]] produce a smaller version of this type of spirit when they die. However, enemies that do not really "die" do not leave a spirit when killed. This is the case for the [[Spotty Bulbear]] and the [[Gatling Groink]], which can [[Health#Revival|revive]], and the [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]], which seems to remain alive even after being defeated. Enemies that die while [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] release a spirit, but these "non-dying" enemies do not. | |||
In | In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' these spirits make an eerie sound when ascending. The sound is much deeper, and the spirit is much larger for [[Enemy#Boss|bosses]]. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', enemy spirits are blue instead of purple, have small white eyes, and have a small "tail". An enemy's death in this game means that the carcass is ready to be [[Carrying|carried]] – the enemy cannot be picked up until the spirit is actually seen. There is also a [[Glitches in Pikmin#Off-camera limbo|minor glitch]] involved with enemy spirits in the first two games: if an enemy is killed and the [[camera]] is rotated so that the beast is no longer on-screen, the enemy spirit will not ascend until it is once again visible for the camera on-screen. | ||
