A '''Spray''' is an item in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' that gives temporary abilities. In ''Pikmin 2'', you discover that one of the new plant species, dubbed the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]], can grow berries that have special compositions that can be used to your advantage. When ten are collected, you create a spray. There are two kinds of sprays, Ultra-Spicy and Ultra-Bitter.


A '''spray''' is an item in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. They can be collected and used at any time, and each has a different beneficial effect. In ''Pikmin 2'', it is revealed that a species of [[plant]] called the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] produces berries that can be used to the [[leader]]s' advantage. There are two known types of spray, '''ultra-spicy''' and '''ultra-bitter''', although the latter only appears in ''Pikmin 2''. The player can tell how many sprays they have on the [[HUD#Spray counter|HUD]], and in ''Pikmin 3'', they can also tell how close they are to concocting the next spray with berries; in ''Pikmin 2'', the player needs to enter the [[pause menu]] for the berry count, and in ''Pikmin 4'', the player needs to open the [[pack]] to see the number of sprays and berries they have.
[[Image:Spraydiscolour.jpg|thumb|200px|An Ultra-Bitter exhibiting a blue color.]]
Sprays may look differently colored under the varied lighting conditions of the game's [[cave]]s. Normally, Ultra-Spicy Sprays appear red and Ultra-Bitter Sprays appear purple. However, as can be seen on the left, Ultra-Bitter Sprays can appear blue.


In ''Pikmin 2'', there is an unlimited number of sprays the player can collect; however, if they collect more than 1,000 sprays, the thousands place won't show. In ''Pikmin 3'', up to 99 ultra-spicy sprays can be collected.
==Ultra-Spicy Spray==
[[Image:Copy of Copy of Pikmin 2 Spray Screen.jpg|left|thumb|80px]]
[[File:Ultra-Spicy_Spray.png|thumb|An Ultra-Spicy Spray with its corresponding data.]]
The''' Ultra-Spicy Spray''' is a red spray that can be obtained by gathering ten Ultra-spicy berries from a [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] plant, or finding a concentrated dose. The first time one of these berries is found, [[Hocotate Ship|the ship]] gives a short speech and then requests the two [[Captain]]s to bring it another specimen. After the ship receives nine more berries, it will create an Ultra-Spicy Spray. This spray is usually discovered before the [[Ultra-Bitter Spray]]. In ''[[Pikmin 3]], ''not only do the Pikmins' tops glow, but their whole body will turn a pinkish hue and turn leaf and bud Pikmin into flower Pikmin permanently.


==Using a spray==
=== Obtaining the spray ===
When the player uses a spray, the current leader sprays the air in front of or behind them, and one dosage is removed from the stockpile. To use one, the player must press a certain button that maps to a certain spray. The effects are immediate, and for the case of the ultra-spicy spray, it doesn't matter whether a Pikmin actually touches the spray clouds or not, as all Pikmin in the party will get powered up.
[[File:Normal_purplepikmin2.jpg|thumb|125px|A [[Purple Pikmin]] carring an Ultra-spicy berry.]][[File:UltraSpicySpray.jpeg|thumb|left|A Drop of Ultra Spicy Spray. ]]Concentrated doses can be found by breaking [[Nectar Egg|eggs]], defeating petrified [[Piklopedia|enemies]], fighting [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]]s, and [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]s, squishing the [[Ujadani|insects at the Wistful Wild]], or defeating red [[Unmarked Spectralid]]s. Red berry-producing Burgeoning Spiderworts are located in every above ground [[areas|region]] except the [[Valley of Repose]], for growth in harsh conditions is not possible.

=== Use ===
[[File:Ultra_Spicy_Sprayed.png|thumb|A White Pikmin energized with the Ultra-Spicy Spray.]]
Unleashing this spray on a Pikmin replaces its leaf, bud or flower with a red flashing light, similar to the one over Olimar's head. Their maximum speed becomes almost as fast as flowered [[White Pikmin]] and the affected Pikmin gain attack speed, which also improves their efficiency when deconstructing gates, constructing bridges and recovering from enemy attacks. After 40 seconds, all effects wear off. While the spray's effect can be extremely useful in many situations, caution should be observed, as drowning, burning or suffocating Pikmin sprayed with an Ultra-spicy spray will actually die more quickly than unsprayed Pikmin.
 
Although the spray causes most of the Pikmin to improve in terms of speed and attack, all changed attributes are set to the same value for all colors, meaning that flowered White Pikmin lose some speed and Purple and [[Red Pikmin]] lose attack strength; all Pikmin experience a gain in attack speed, however.    
 
Ultra Spicy Sprays return in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and seem to have the same effect as well as permanently transforming your pikmin in your squad into flower pikmin. They are also obtained by using the berries of Burgeoning Spiderworts. However, the pikmin seem to have their whole body tinted red and their flowers turn an orange-like color, similar to the color of the ''3 ''in ''Pikmin 3'''s logo.


Pressing the button does not use a spray right away – in the case of the ultra-spicy spray, if the current leader has no Pikmin in their group, pressing the button won't have any effect. In addition, in ''Pikmin 2'', pressing the button when it has no effect will make the current leader's standing or walking animation reset, with the latter being more noticeable – this is purely aesthetic.
Obtained from the red berries, this spray is to be used on the Pikmin. When used, the Pikmin temporarily get enhanced strength and speed, and their leaves/buds/flowers glow red. This is helpful in tough boss fights and when you are pressed for time. However, the effects of the spray also cause Pikmin to die much quicker when succumbing to a [[Obstacles#Hazards|hazard]]. The spray normally wears off after forty seconds. {{clear}}


In ''Pikmin 2'', {{button|gc|padd|wii|2|switch|padd}} activates the ultra-spicy spray, while {{button|gc|padu|wii|1|switch|padu}} uses the ultra-bitter spray. In ''Pikmin 3'', with the classic controls, {{button|wiiu|padu|wii|padu}} uses the ultra-spicy spray, and with the styuls controls, the corresponding button on the touchscreen must be tapped. In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', ultra-spicy spray is used by holding {{button|switch|y|switch|facel}} and pressing up on {{button|switch|lstick}}. In ''Pikmin 4'',
==Ultra-Bitter Spray==
it is accessed from the player's Pack, but it can also be assigned to {{button|switch|lstickclick}} or {{button|switch|pad|switch|pcpad}} as a shortcut.

[[File:Ultra-Bitter_Spray.png|thumb|The Ultra-bitter spray with its corresponding data.]]
The''' Ultra-Bitter Spray''' is the purple spray that the player can get from ten Ultra-bitter Berries from the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] plant (but only in [[Pikmin 2]]), or by finding a concentrated dose of it on the ground. When an Ultra-Bitter Berry is found for the first time, [[Hocotate Ship|the ship]] comments that it may find other uses for it beside money, then requests another specimen; this speech is essentially the same as the speech given for the Ultra-spicy Berry. After nine more berries are given to the ship, it will announce that it has created the Ultra-Bitter Spray. This spray is usually discovered after the discovery of the [[Ultra-Spicy Spray]], and it is also much rarer than the Ultra-Spicy Spray.
=== Obtaining the Spray ===
[[File:Ultra_Bitter_Drop.png|thumb|left|130px|A drop of Ultra-bitter Spray.]]
Concentrated doses can be found by breaking [[egg]]s, defeating petrified [[Piklopedia|enemies]], fighting [[Doodlebug]]s, squishing the [[Ujadani|insects at the Wistful Wild]], or defeating purple [[Unmarked Spectralid]]s. Purple berry-producing Burgeoning Spiderworts are located in every above ground [[areas|region]] except the [[Valley of Repose]].  
=== Use ===
This spray turns most of the creatures into stone, and with that immobilizes them. When an enemy is defeated during petrification, it will crumble to dust and leave behind one dosage of a liquid, this being either [[nectar]] or a [[spray]]. [[:Category:Bosses|Boss-enemies]], however, will drop four-five doses of liquid. The [[Titan Dweevil]] will drop ten doses. Plants and [[Candypop Bud]]s cannot be petrified at all.


==Types==
Petrifying enemies that are in the process of eating any Pikmin will make it possible to save those Pikmin from dying.
===Ultra-spicy spray===
 
[[File:Ultra-spicy spray menu.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Ultra-spicy spray count.]]
In [[2-Player Mode]], this spray can also be used to disarm the opponent's Pikmin by planting them in the ground, and thus reverting all flower- and bud Pikmin to leaves. Although the Pikmin will automatically jump back out of the ground after a few seconds, they will not regain their buds or flowers.
{{main|Ultra-spicy spray}}
This is obtained from red berries and is to be used on [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. It has the effect of temporarily enhancing their strength and speed, and make their leaves, buds, or flowers glow red. This makes Pikmin more effective at [[Enemy|fighting]], building, destroying, and carrying for the 40 seconds it lasts. In ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', it also makes them bloom into the [[Maturity|flower stage]]. In ''Pikmin 4'', the Pikmin will have high-pitched voices. When used, a comical flatulence sound is heard.
{{clear}}


===Ultra-bitter spray===
The player can deploy Ultra-bitter Spray by pressing the Z button in the [[Piklopedia]]. This does not affect the Ultra-Bitter spray quantity in the actual game.
[[File:Pikmin 2 Spray Screen.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Ultra-bitter spray count.]]
{{main|Ultra-bitter spray}}
Exclusive to ''Pikmin 2'', this spray is obtained from purple berries. It affects enemies and not Pikmin (excluding [[2-Player Battle]]). When used, it encases any enemies in the path of the spray in stone for approximately 9 seconds; this is often enough time to kill or severely weaken the beast. If an enemy is killed while still petrified, it crumbles without leaving behind a carcass to produce more Pikmin, instead dropping [[nectar]] or sprays. When used, a comical burp sound is heard.


{{clear}}
When used against bosses, their defense increases slightly.
==Obtaining sprays==
==Obtaining Sprays==
Both types of sprays can be made by returning ten of the respective color of [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] berries to the [[Hocotate ship]], the [[S.S. Drake]], the research pod, a [[SPERO]] or the [[S.S. Beagle]], which then creates a spray dosage from them that can be used right away. The two known berry colors, purple and red, produce the two kinds of sprays. Sprays can also be found in most of the places [[nectar]] can, in the form of red or purple concentrated [[#Spray nectar|drop of nectars]], each of which counts as one full dosage and is absorbed by a leader. In ''Pikmin 4'', this drop is obtained instantly without stopping for an animation.
Both types of sprays can be made by bringing ten of the berry needed to [[The Ship]], which will create a spray from the berries. Sprays can also be found in any places where [[nectar]] is, in the form of red or purple nectar drops. If you move your captain into one of these drops, you will collect 1 kind of spray, depending on what color the drop was. Spray Drops can be found by defeating [[Unmarked Spectralid]]s, [[Honeywisp]]s, and the [[Secret Insects at the Wistful Wild]]. They can also be found in [[Egg|eggs]]. The Leaders can get two sprays in one drop by [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Easter_eggs_and_glitches#Double_Sprays using this glitch.]


In alternate game modes, like challenges or two-player modes, the players start the level with specific number of sprays, and can obtain spray nectar inside the levels, without having to first collect ten berries from that type. In cooperative modes, both players have a shared stockpile.
==Beta spray==
[[Image:Demosprays.gif|thumb|left|Beta screenshot of spray.]]
In demo images of ''Pikmin 2'' from before its release, there was a red spray, likely the [[Ultra-Spicy Spray]], but also a yellow spray (possibly a nectar spray) shown in the image as the bottom command on the D-pad. No exact information has been provided as to whether these were sprays at the time and if they truly did what the current sprays do now.


==Spray nectar==
[[File:Spicy drop.jpg|thumb|100px|An ultra-spicy spray nectar drop.]]
[[File:P2 Bitter Drop Screenshot.jpg|thumb|100px|An ultra-bitter spray nectar drop.]]
To concoct a spray, ten [[Burgeoning Spiderwort|berries]] must be collected. However, once at least one spray of a certain kind has been made, '''spray nectar''' of that type will begin appearing. The drops were only given a name – "spray nectar" – in ''Pikmin 3''. These blobs immediately add one spray dose to the inventory when collected. This means that they are more valuable than berries, as one doesn't need to gather ten of them to gain a dose. Spray nectar is similar in appearance to regular [[nectar]], but are slightly larger and either red or purple, depending on the spray.


Unlike nectar, however, [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] cannot collect it. Once a [[leader]] walks over it, they'll squat down and proceed to suck up the liquid. This doesn't make sense however, as the leader is seen clearly drinking it using their mouth despite the helmet blocking it, and spray nectars are implied to be inedible; this is likely done as a joke on how Pikmin drink nectars.
In ''Pikmin 3'', despite having a similar animation, a [[data file]] illustration shows that rather than drinking it, the leader leans down to gather the spray nectar with their hands and put it in a spray bottle resembling the HUD icons representing sprays.


Due to different lighting conditions inside [[cave]]s, it is possible for spray nectar to occasionally appear with odd colors, such as blue or orange.


In ''Pikmin 2'', when a leader gets hit by an enemy, [[bomb-rock]] or something else while absorbing a concentrated dose of spray, he stops absorbing it, and it shrinks and disappears. Worst, the spray does not count as being collected, so it's very important to be careful when trying to get a spray.


Spray nectar can be found on the following places, after at least one spray of them has been made:
*{{icon|Egg|y|v=P4}}s
*{{icon|Ujadani|y}}
*{{icon|Iridescent Flint Beetle|y|v=P4}}s (one ultra-spicy nectar drop only)
*{{icon|Iridescent Glint Beetle|y|v=P4}}s (two ultra-spicy nectar drops only)
*{{icon|Doodlebug|y|v=P4}}s (two ultra-bitter nectar drops only)
*{{icon|Unmarked Spectralids|y}} (color-coded)
*{{icon|Mitite|y|v=P4}}s
*{{icon|Red Spectralids|y|v=P4}}
*[[Ultra-bitter spray|Petrified]] or [[Ice|Frozen]] enemies
*{{icon|Large crystal|y}}s
*{{icon|Dirt mound|y}}s (in Pikmin 3's [[Mission Mode]])


==Glitches==
[[File:Double spray glitch.jpg|thumb|left|[[Captain Olimar]] and [[the President]] absorbing the same drop.]]
*'''[[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Spray duplication|Spray duplication]]''': In both [[version]]s of ''Pikmin 2'', if the player can make it so that both leaders drink a drop of nectar at once, the game will register it as two individual collections, and add two sprays to the inventory.
*'''[[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Spray nectar swap|Spray nectar swap]]''': Again in both versions of ''Pikmin 2'', occasionally an ultra-spicy nectar drop may provide an extra ultra-bitter spray instead. This can be caused purposely by absorbing a spray drop at the same time nectar or ultra-spicy spray nectar appears in the scene. Although rarer, the opposite can also happen.
*'''[[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Spray nectar softlock|Spray nectar softlock]]''': In the GameCube version of ''Pikmin 2'' only, by discovering a spray nectar drop at the same time the other leader is sucking it up, and by skipping the [[cutscene]], the drop will become impossible to deplete, and any leader that touches it will become stuck in his absorption animation, with few ways to break free.
