Editing Spray

{{game icons|p2=y|p3=y}}

A '''spray''' is an item in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. 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|captains']] advantage. There are two known types of spray, ultra-spicy and ultra-bitter. When the player uses a spray with {{button|gcn|Paddown|wii|2}} (for Ultra-Spicy) or {{button|gcn|Padup|wii|1}} (for ultra-bitter), one dosage is removed from their stockpile, and the current leader sprays behind or in front them, respectively. 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 [[Menu#Pause|pause menu]] for the berry count.

Both types of sprays can be made by returning ten of the respective color of [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] berries to [[the ship]], 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 drop|drops]], each of which counts as one full dosage and is absorbed by a leader.

In [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], [[Mission Mode]], [[2-Player Battle]] and [[Bingo Battle]], the players start with a specific number of sprays, and can obtain spray drops in the levels, without having to first collect ten berries from that type. In cooperative modes, both players have a shared stockpile.

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.

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'', it also makes them bloom into the [[Maturity|flower stage]]. When used, a comical flatulence sound is heard.

==Spray 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 drops''' of that type will begin appearing. These blobs immediately add one spray dose to the inventory when collected. This means that these drops are more valuable than berries, as one doesn't need to gather ten of them to gain a dose. Spray drops are similar in appearance to [[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|captain]] walks over it, they'll squat down and proceed to suck up the liquid. This doesn't make sense, however, as the captain is seen clearly drinking it using their mouths, despite the fact that there's the helmet blocking, and that these drops probably shouldn't be edible. This could've been done on purpose, as a joke on how Pikmin drink nectar.

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

When a captain is 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 get collected, so it important to be careful when trying to get a spray.

Drops can be found on the following places, after at least one spray of them has been made:

*{{icon|Egg|y}}s

*{{icon|Iridescent Flint Beetle|y}}s (one Ultra-Spicy drop only)

*{{icon|Iridescent Glint Beetle|y}}s (two Ultra-Spicy drops only)

*{{icon|Doodlebug|y}}s (two ultra-bitter drops only)

*{{icon|Red Spectralid|y}}s

*[[Ultra-bitter spray|Petrified]] enemies

If the player can make it so that both captains drink a drop at once, the game will register it as two individual collections, and add two sprays to the inventory. To do this, the player must separate his captains, and leave one of them next to a drop. Then, change to the other captain, and have him push the idle captain into the blob. This will make the idle captain absorb it. Before the drop is gone, the captain the player is currently controlling (i.e. the one that pushed) should go and drink it as well.
