A '''tunnel''' is a type of [[obstacle]] in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. Some walls have tunnels in them which serve as shortcuts between two parts of an [[area]], but when these walls are first found, they are covered in pebbles and dirt. [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] must be [[Charge|ordered]] to open the tunnel, where they will slowly begin cleaning up the clutter. The tunnel cannot be entered until all the gravel has been removed. Tunnels may not be used to allow passage to Pikmin [[carry]]ing large objects in ''Pikmin 3'', but can do so in ''Pikmin 4''.

==Digging speeds==

These digging speeds are exactly the same as each Pikmin type's relative [[Combat|attack power]]. It's possible to see that Yellow Pikmin are not given any speed improvement, compared to when they are [[Dig#Digging speeds|digging]] a buried fruit.

 

 

'''Pup tunnels''' are a variant of tunnels in ''Pikmin 4'' that have a metal door. Only [[Oatchi]] may travel through a pup tunnel, and he will instantly [[dismiss|disband]] all Pikmin in his squad upon entering. Oatchi will have an animation for squeezing through the pipe, during which switching leader is impossible, before he appears on a higher ledge.
