Editing Ultra-spicy spray

{{game icons|p2=y|p3=y|p4=y}}

'''Ultra-spicy spray''' ({{j|ゲキカラスプレー|Gekikara supurē}}) is a red-colored [[spray]] that can be obtained by gathering ten ultra-spicy berries from a [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] plant, finding a [[Spray#Spray nectar|concentrated dose]], or in [[Bingo Battle]] and [[Dandori Battle]]s, as single-use items. In {{p4}}, they can also be obtained by throwing a Pikmin at a [[Honeywisp]] or [[Iridescent Glint Beetle]], or when defeating an enemy that is [[Ice|frozen]]. When used, any Pikmin in the party will become more efficient at their tasks, and in {{p3}} or ''Pikmin 4'', bloomed into the flower [[Maturity|stage]] as well.

By pressing {{button|gc|padd|wii|2|switch|padd}} in {{p2}}, {{button|wiiu|padu|wii|padu|wiiu|pcpadu}} (or by tapping the [[File:Ultra-Spicy Spray P3 touch icon.png|24px]] button on the Wii U GamePad in Stylus Mode) in ''Pikmin 3'', or {{button|switch|y}} + {{button|switch|lsticku}} in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] following the current [[leader]]'s party, regardless of distance, will be powered up; Pikmin not in the party will not be affected. In ''Pikmin 4'', all Pikmin on the field will be powered up, regardless of whether they are in the leader’s party, and [[Oatchi]] or [[Moss]] will also be affected. In ''Pikmin 2'', affected Pikmin's leaf, bud, or flower will be replaced with a pink flashing light, similar to the one over [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]]'s head. In ''Pikmin 3'', and ''Pikmin 4'' they will be instantly [[Maturity|upgraded]] from a leaf or bud into a flower. Aesthetically, the affected Pikmin's flower has an orange glow, while their body glows pink.

Each Pikmin's maximum running speed becomes nearly as fast as flowered [[White Pikmin]], and the affected Pikmin receive a general increase in task speed, which affects their attack frequency, their efficiency when taking down [[gate]]s, constructing [[bridge]]s, and recovering from enemy attacks. The effects wear off after 40 seconds in ''Pikmin 2'', and 30 seconds in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', though they keep their newly-gained flower maturity.

Pikmin [[carrying]] objects have their attributes changed in a different way. In ''Pikmin 2'', all the spray does is make the Pikmin behave as if they are flower Pikmin, meaning that spraying a group that is already all flowers is a complete waste. If the effects of the spray wear off while the Pikmin are carrying the object, they will continue carrying at the same speed as if they were powered up, until they deliver the object or drop it. This makes this exploit particularly useful when retrieving the [[Doomsday Apparatus]], and can also be used to [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Carrying charge|manipulate the treasure's carrying speed]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', it sets the Pikmin to the same carrying speed as a standard-type flower Pikmin, meaning that White Pikmin actually become slower carriers. In this game, the previously mentioned exploit with the timer running out mid-carrying does not exist.

Technically, any Pikmin type's attack power is changed to 10 (in ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3''), and their attack and [[obstacle]]-clearing speed increases to around 180%. This means that [[Red Pikmin]], [[Purple Pikmin]], and [[Rock Pikmin]] experience a decrease in power, while [[Winged Pikmin]], [[White Pikmin]] (in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''), and [[Ice Pikmin]] get a boost in power. Still, the increase in speeds makes up for those power nerfs. To note however is that in ''Pikmin 2'', a Pikmin that is attacking while grounded will not be sped up.

In all games, if the player sprays an already spicy Pikmin, the duration of the spray will be reset. Interestingly, if the player uses an [[ultra-bitter spray]] on a spicy Pikmin, it will also reset its spicy mode duration.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/muratsubo/status/977886149426405376|Video|Twitter|published={{date|25|March|2018}}|retrieved={{date|25|March|2018}}}} In ''Pikmin 2'' exclusively, the first time in a [[saved game]] the player uses a spray will trigger a [[cutscene]], but the spray duration timer for the Pikmin in the cutscene will continue to go down during it until the world is paused and the Ship's dialogue box appears.

 

In {{p3d}}, there is a [[badge (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|badge]] the player can gain from using an ultra-spicy spray:

 

 

{{Transcript|As long as you have at least one dose of Ultra-Spicy Spray in your possession, you can spritz your troops by pressing Down on the Control Pad. They'll become faster and stronger for a limited time.|block=y}}

 

 

 

Analysis revealed that the essence obtained from the red berries of the "Burgeoning Spiderwort" plant, which was newly discovered during this expedition, is a surprisingly spicy substance. For the sweet-toothed Hocotatians, just one drop of this spicy essence is lethal, but when sprinkled on Pikmin, it turns out to be very exciting for them. Fortunately, there was an empty bottle among the unsold junk, so it was decided to diligently fill it.
