It differs slightly from normal health wheels in that it lacks a black circle behind the main pie chart, and it beeps whenever it's below 50%. In {{p4}}, leaders use traditional health bars rather than wheels, likely due to both the the [[Gear#Air Armor|Air Armor]] and [[Gear#Tuff_Stuff|Tuff Stuff]] upgrades. | ||
Enemy attacks, hazards, and other sources of damage generally deplete a leader's health, which can eventually lead to the leader being KO'd, but getting hit by an attack will also temporarily place them in a state where they cannot be controlled by the player, meaning it's harder to take them or their Pikmin out of harm's way. | Enemy attacks, hazards, and other sources of damage generally deplete a leader's health, which can eventually lead to the leader being KO'd, but getting hit by an attack will also temporarily place them in a state where they cannot be controlled by the player, meaning it's harder to take them or their Pikmin out of harm's way. | ||

In {{p2}} and {{p3}}, if a leader loses all their health, they will be transported back to the landing area, and the other leaders will continue on their own. If every leader loses all their health, the day ends, as it does when Olimar falls in ''Pikmin''. The same rule applies to caves in ''Pikmin 2'', but the cave is immediately left, all salvaged treasures are lost, all Pikmin in the cave are left behind, and hence, count as deaths, and the day is instantly over afterwards. If only one leader is knocked out inside a cave, he will be lying prostrate in front of the ship even after leaving the cave. This cannot be changed unless the day ends or is reset. The only way to heal the health of a leader that is not knocked out is to enter or leave a cave. In [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], [[Mission Mode]] and the [[Side Stories]], if any leader is defeated, the challenge or mission is over. In [[2-Player Battle]] and [[Bingo Battle]], if a player's leader faints, the other player wins. | In {{p2}} and {{p3}}, if a leader loses all their health, they will be transported back to the landing area, and the other leaders will continue on their own.

The remaining leader can stop the health regeneration process early and resuscitate them then and there by pressing A nearby the downed leader. If both leaders are down, if the [[rookie Rescue Officer]] is downed before [[Oatchi]] grows, or Olimar is downed before finding [[Moss]]; the game offers the player to [[Rewind Time]]. If the offer is declined, the day ends prematurely and all Pikmin outside of the Onion's radius are left behind. | ||
There are two minor glitches in ''Pikmin 2'' related to a leader losing all of his health: [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Ghost leader|one glitch]] has the fallen leader able to be hurt, while [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Unbeamable leader|another one]] allows the leader to remain on the ground instead of being beamed up by the Research Pod. | There are two minor glitches in ''Pikmin 2'' related to a leader losing all of his health: [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Ghost leader|one glitch]] has the fallen leader able to be hurt, while [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Unbeamable leader|another one]] allows the leader to remain on the ground instead of being beamed up by the Research Pod. | ||

For the most part, | For the most part, [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] do not have health points. When hurt in [[combat]] against enemies, Pikmin do not suffer adverse effects other than being knocked back, and except in ''Pikmin 3'', sometimes [[Maturity#Decreasing|losing their flower or bud]]. Other than that, enemies only have attacks that kill Pikmin right away. There are some special attacks that seem to hurt Pikmin, and sometimes letting them live, sometimes letting them die. This is the case with the [[Gatling Groink]]'s shots, although the way they work internally is that for every volley it shoots, one out of its three shots is randomly chosen to have its explosion kill Pikmin, while the other two shots are left only with the ability to knock Pikmin back. | ||
That said, [[Mushroom Pikmin]] in {{p1}} do lose health when knocked down by Olimar, and if this happens enough times, they will die.{{cite youtube|A8eggQyvY1k|demonstrating how Pikmin keep track of their health, and lose it when knocked down by Olimar as Mushroom Pikmin|published={{date|7|September|2021}}|retrieved={{date|7|September|2021}}}} Infighting between regular Pikmin and Mushroom Pikmin also involves some blows being exchanged, which will eventually result in a Pikmin dying, | That said, [[Mushroom Pikmin]] in {{p1}} do lose health when knocked down by Olimar, and if this happens enough times, they will die.{{cite youtube|A8eggQyvY1k|demonstrating how Pikmin keep track of their health, and lose it when knocked down by Olimar as Mushroom Pikmin|published={{date|7|September|2021}}|retrieved={{date|7|September|2021}}}} Infighting between regular Pikmin and Mushroom Pikmin also involves some blows being exchanged, which will eventually result in a Pikmin dying, done through the same health system. Something similar happens when Pikmin from different teams in competitive 2-player modes fight, even in other games, although this is done using random chance and not invisible health pools. | ||

Once the rollers are destroyed, the Waterwraith battle enters a second stage where the Wraith can be damaged directly and killed. | ||

In ''Pikmin 3'', the game contains data for every enemy's maximum health, but in the files that define what enemies go where in an [[area]], it is possible for the developers to write down a specific amount of health for that specific instance of the enemy to have. This means that while most instances of an enemy have the "default" maximum health, some might have a more specific number. An example would be the [[Toady Bloyster]] | In ''Pikmin 3'', the game contains data for every enemy's maximum health, but in the files that define what enemies go where in an [[area]], it is possible for the developers to write down a specific amount of health for that specific instance of the enemy to have. This means that while most instances of an enemy have the "default" maximum health, some might have a more specific number. An example would be the [[Toady Bloyster]] that only has one third the normal amount of health in the [[Shaded Garden]]'s [[Mission Mode#Battle Enemies!|Battle Enemies!]] version. This can also apply to other properties, like sight radius. | ||
