{{game help|p3d|Investigate how effective are latched-on Pikmin, ground Pikmin, thrown Rock Pikmin, and ground Rock Pikmin. Point out differences and comparisons between Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 3 Deluxe.}} -->
'''Dirt walls''' (also known as '''wooden gates'''{{Cite quote|Wooden gates, such as the white one near your landing site, are breakable, so call all of the Pikmin from the red onion and put them to work.|The Forest of Hope section 3-A: "Storming the Gate"|the ''Pikmin'' Nintendo Player's Guide}} and '''bramble gates''') are the most basic type of [[gate]] in {{p1}}, {{p2}} {{p3}}, {{p4}}, and {{hp}}. In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', they sink to the ground as they take damage, while in later games, they resemble sandcastles and break down and fall apart when damaged. These types of gates can be destroyed by any Pikmin type; however, some of these walls are found partially or completely submerged underwater, meaning that they require [[Blue Pikmin]] to destroy.

In ''Pikmin 2''', there are two types of these gates: white and black. Black gates take longer to break down than white ones. Wooden gates also have 3 stages of destruction. Initially, they are at their full height, with the central part of the gate being as high as the supports on the side. After being attacked for some time, the gate will partially fall down through the ground, becoming two-thirds of its initial height. After some more time, it will fall down some more to become one-third of its original height, and eventually, it will completely fall down, and Pikmin and leaders will be able to walk through the space the gate once occupied. 

Each wooden gate has some amount of [[health]], and Pikmin attacking these gates use their standard [[Combat|damage]] values. In ''Pikmin'', white gates can also be destroyed with two [[bomb rock]]s, and black gates require four. The health of gates is inconsistent &ndash; gates of the same color vary in how sturdy they are; for example, the gate that encloses the [[Emperor Bulblax]]'s arena in [[The Final Trial]] is surprisingly frail. In ''Pikmin 2'', normal gates above ground have between 10000 and 43000 hit points. They tend in general to be much sturdier than the [[Randomness|random]]ly generated ones in [[cave]]s (100 - 12800) and [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] levels (1 - 4000). For comparison, a [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]] has 750 hit points.

In ''Pikmin 3'', Pikmin are more effective at taking one down if they are latched onto it from a throw,{{cite youtube|mRGpLSrUyVc|comparing latched Pikmin, grounded Pikmin, thrown Rock Pikmin, and lone Rock Pikmin on a dirt wall|rname=dirt_speed}} but as the layers on the gate peel down, those Pikmin will eventually fall and attack at ground level. For [[Rock Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 3'', throwing them at the wall repeatedly is much faster than letting them lunge on their own, and is in fact, the fastest way to take down a wall using Pikmin.{{cite youtube|rname=dirt_speed}} In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' however, Rock Pikmin left to attack the wall on their own can take it down fairly quickly.{{cite youtube|FM3KNYA4YxA|comparing the time different Pikmin types take to destroy a dirt wall|published={{date|8|March|2021}}|retrieved={{date|9|March|2021}}}} These walls can be destroyed using a single [[bomb rock]]. In ''Pikmin 4'', [[Oatchi]] can deal sizable damage by [[rush]]ing into a dirt wall, especially if he is carrying Pikmin as they will all be thrown onto the wall.

These types of walls all have the same design in ''Pikmin 3'', but in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', there are 8 different designs of dirt wall with various patterns of white paint on the columns at the sides of the wall. Those designs are: no paint, 3 horizontal stripes, 1 vertical stripe, 2 wavy stripes (all walls with this pattern are found in water), 3 diagonal stripes, an "X" mark, 3 triangles, and 4 circles.

In ''Pikmin 4'', the design has returned to being mostly the same as in ''Pikmin 3'', but with a few minor changes. The wall portion is now more rectangular and featureless on top. Certain walls are also significantly wider than others, compared to all walls previously being the same in width. The white paint patterns from ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' do not return.

==Poison gate==
Some wooden gates in ''Pikmin 2'' have [[poison emitter]]s within them. Because of the [[poison]] hazard, only [[White Pikmin]] can destroy these gates. (Gates like this are never found underground so there is never a situation where [[Bulbmin]] can destroy them.) After the gate has been destroyed, the poison emitters can be destroyed, and after that other Pikmin types can pass through the gate.

==Locations==
;''Pikmin'':
*[[The Impact Site]]: There is a white gate to the southwest in the area with [[Pearly Clamclamp]]s.
*[[The Forest of Hope]]: There is one white gate right in the base, another white in the easternmost part of the main area with [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s and the [[Eternal Fuel Dynamo]], the first black gate resides in front of the area with the [[Nova Blaster]] and a Spotty Bulborb, a submerged white gate shortly beyond the previously mentioned black gate, and lastly, a black gate in front of the arena with the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] and [[Radiation Canopy]].
*[[The Forest Navel]]: A white gate is found directly next to the base, and must be broken down to allow the [[Number 1 Ionium Jet|#1 Ionium Jet]] to be delivered to the ship. A black gate is located at the beginning of the pathway leading towards the [[Libra]] and [[Analog Computer]], and a second black gate can be found adjacent to the [[Beady Long Legs]]' arena, though not serving as a direct impediment.
*[[The Distant Spring]]: A white gate is found blocking off access to the [[Zirconium Rotor]], and a black gate is directly opposite to it, leading into the area where the [[Pilot's Seat]] is found. Another white gate is found beside the tree trunks surrounding the Armored Cannon Beetle, in the path of the [[Bowsprit]]'s waypoints.
*[[The Final Trial]]: Two white gates are located around the perimeter of the [[Emperor Bulblax]] arena. One blocking the Entrance Of [[Emperor Bulblax]] Arena. One Blocking Most of The Pipes.

;''Pikmin 2'':
*[[Valley of Repose]]: A white gate is right before [[Emergence Cave]] while another just past it in a pool of water blocks access to half the level. A white poison gate is located in front of [[Subterranean Complex]].
*[[Awakening Wood]]: There is a black gate in the center, near the [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]]s. Beyond this gate, a white poison gate can be found shortly beyond the [[White Flower Garden]] by taking a right, while another lies opposite the [[Hole of Beasts]] to the left. A white gate in a pool of water with a [[clog]] is located near the landing site. Another white gate blocks the entrance to [[Snagret Hole]].
*[[Perplexing Pool]]: A submerged black gate is near the landing site and another blocks the area with the [[Submerged Castle]] on the opposite end of the river. A white poison gate blocks the way to where [[Yellow Pikmin]] are discovered.
*[[Wistful Wild]]: Two black poison gates are found in the [[The Impact Site]] half of the area, denying access to the [[Dream Den]] and two overworld treasures. A white gate in a pool of water is located near the [[Cavern of Chaos]].

;''Pikmin 3''
*[[Tropical Wilds]]: One is found on the first day, inside the cave where the [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]] would normally be, another is outside the landing site, and closes off access to a [[Pocked Airhead]], a third wall underwater guards access to the [[Calcified Crushblat]]'s arena, and a fourth can be found separating the small brown bridge near the landing site from the area with a [[Dapper Blob]] and a [[Swooping Snitchbug]].
*[[Garden of Hope]]: One is located in the second half of the area, near the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]]'s nest, and another is located near the [[Toady Bloyster]] and a pile of fragments used to build the pot. Both of these are completely submerged underwater. A third separates the landing site from the [[fragment]] pile used to build the nearby [[bridge]], with this bridge leading to a fourth wall by the [[Bulborb]]. A fifth wall blocks the 2D facing area with the [[Zest Bomb]] and [[Astringent Clump]], with the last one blocking access to the [[Armored Mawdad]]'s arena.
*[[Distant Tundra]]: Two of the dirt walls in this area are partially submerged in the main river. One is by the area with [[Wogpole]]s, near the land protrusion to swap Pikmin in, while the other one is right next to the ledge with the [[Face Wrinkler]]. The last dirt wall is also by the land protrusion, but it blocks an alcove with a [[Bearded Amprat]] and a [[Bouncy Mushroom]].
*[[Twilight River]]: One wall is in the second half of the area, and blocks off a small land bridge to cross the river, and a second one separates the area with the [[clipboard]]s and the swarm of [[Scornet]]s.
*[[Formidable Oak]]: The first is found at the end of the room with the [[Bulborb]]s, the next one can be found to the far end of the circular area where the bridge is built, a third is at the end of the path where the [[Nectarous Dandelfly]] is, and the fourth is in the dark cave, and simply separates a path to get the fragments (this wall does not need to be destroyed, however). The final is also in the dark cave, blocking the path that needs to be taken if the clipboard is not lifted.
*[[Flower Garden]]: One stands near the Rock Pikmin and blocks one of two routes to the second half of the level, while the second blocks access to a [[Face Wrinkler]].
*[[Inside Forest]]: The first is right next to the Onion, and is a shortcut to the main area of the level. The second blocks access to the arena with the [[Orange Bulborb]].
*[[Pikmin Reunion]]: There is one adjacent to the Red Onion for a mild shortcut.
*[[Creature Hunting]]: A dirt wall blocks access to a [[Bulborb]] and some [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s.
*[[Land, Sea, and Sky]]: A dirt wall blocks Red Pikmin from being able to proceed beyond their starting area beyond the red bridge.
*[[First Part Found]]: One appears near the [[Fiery Blowhogs]] and blocks the blue bridge from being constructed, while a second blocks a route for the ship part to take. A third wall serves primarily as a choice in detour.
*[[Team Monster Hunt]]: A dirt wall blocks Olimar from being able to access the [[Whiptongue Bulborb]]s.
*[[Another Part Found]]: A dirt wall stands directly in front of the [[SPERO]].

{{transcript|
A shipping company that has been operating modestly in the countryside of Hocotate. In his youth, the current president roamed the universe, which led him to establish a shipping company. During Olimar's absence, the company received its first big job in years, but the president, blinded by money, asked Louie, a new employee, to take care of it, and that was the end of his luck. A space bunny stole the entire cargo of Pikpik carrots. All that was left was a huge debt, a battered spaceship, and broken junk.

{{transcript|
The planet where Olimar was stranded last time and where he and Louie have come this time is a mysterious planet full of giant creatures, with a strange ecosystem and many treasures buried in the underground. The treasures seem to be the legacy of a civilization that existed on this planet in the past. No, I am not sure if we can call it the past or not. Because in the time that Olimar has left this planet and returned to Hocotate, the same regions have changed drastically. It is clearly evidence of advanced civilization, and there is a possibility that a civilization of giant life forms that has not yet been seen may still exist on this planet…

On this planet, "nectar" can be found in many places. This essence is detected to a greater or lesser extent in the bodies of living organisms in particular.

ピクミンはオニヨンを母体とし、タネから芽を吹き、引っこ抜くと植物から動物へと変化する。初めて見た者をリーダーと思い従順に従い、リーダーのために自分を犠牲にしているようだが、これが逆に彼らの繁殖の手段なのだ。有能なリーダーを得たピクミン達は爆発的にその数を増やし、この星で最強の生物となる。

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
Pikmin use onions as incubators, sprout from seeds, and change from plants to animals when plucked. They think of the first person they see as their leader and follow them obediently, appearing to sacrifice themselves for the leader, but this is actually their means of reproduction. With a competent leader, Pikmin explosively increase their numbers and become the most powerful creatures on the planet.

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
Pikmin that do not meet a competent leader are easily wiped out, but it was observed in the previous shipwreck that the onions go dormant in order to avoid complete extinction. And this time, Pikmin were observed to be living on their own. Perhaps to some extent, Pikmin can survive on their own without a leader.

==Pikmin Ecology Observations Part 3: "Carrying Instinct"==

{{transcript|
ピクミンは落ちている物があると運ばずにはいられない本能を持っているようだ。この本能こそが彼らがここまで繁栄してきた原動力ではないかと考えることがある。例えば、自分達の数を増やす獲物だけでなく、自分達には全く役に立たないものでも宇宙船まで運んでくれたりする。これは共生相手に対しても大きな利益をもたらすことになる。ピクミンがそのことを理解しているようには見えないが、この運搬本能が共生相手にもたらす利益が、ピクミン繁栄のカギとなっているのだ。なぜなら、現に私達ホコタテ星人も、ピクミンの運搬能力を利用したいがためにせっせと増殖の手伝いをしているではないか。
|block=y}}
'''Translation'''

Pikmin seem to have an instinct to carry fallen objects whenever they see them. Sometimes it is thought that this instinct is the driving force that has allowed them to thrive so far. For example, they carry not only prey that will increase their numbers, but also things that are completely useless to them to the spaceship. This is a great benefit to their symbiotic partner. Although the Pikmin do not seem to understand this, the benefit that this carrying instinct brings to their symbiotic partners is the key to the Pikmin's thriving. After all, us Hocotatians eagerly help the Pikmin multiply in order to take advantage of their carrying ability.

Despite the intention of coming to the region where Olimar shipwrecked last time, the first landing point was slightly off the beaten path. This is because the shipwreck report Olimar brought back was missing region information. The region information will be gradually restored during exploration.

今回の探検で新たに発見された植物「ピキノツユクサ」の赤い実から採取されるエキスは、驚くべき辛さの物質であることが分析の結果明らかになった。甘党のホコタテ星人にとってはほんの１ 滴で致死量となる辛さのこのエキスだが、これをピクミン達に振りかけると、彼らはとても興奮することが分かった。幸い、売れ残りのガラクタの中に、空になったビンがあったので、せっせと集めてはこれに詰めていくことにする。

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.

Fortunately, there was another empty bottle among the unsold junk, so it was decided to diligently fill it.

==Relationship Between the Ecosystem and the Treasures==

{{transcript|
今この星の生態系はとても奇妙だ。通常であればこれほどの多様化は考えられない。これは過去の文明の遺産と関係があるのではないかと考えられる。生物の多様化は、特にお宝が大量に埋もれた地底深くで激しさを増すのだ。地底には、お宝だけでなく多種多様の化学物質が検出されている。おそらくこの物質も、過去の文明が残した遺産に違いない。そしてこれらの物質が、生物達に何らかの影響を及ぼしていると考えられるのだ。

Right now the ecosystem on this planet is very strange. Under normal circumstances, such diversification would be unthinkable. This may have something to do with the legacy of a past civilization. The diversification of life is especially intense deep underground, where a great deal of treasures are buried. In addition to treasures, a wide variety of chemical substances have been detected deep underground. These substances are probably part of the legacy left behind by the past civilization. And it is thought that these substances may be affecting the creatures in some way.

==Treasure Considerations==

芸術的価値や物質的価値の高いお宝がこれほどまでに大量に埋没しているのはなぜなのだろう。かつてこの星で栄えた文明は、ものを大切にしない浪費文化が行き過ぎたために絶滅してしまったのではないだろうか。これほどの素晴らしいお宝を作り出した文明が、そのような理由で滅びたのだとしたら、何と悲しいことだろう…。心豊かな我々ホコタテ星人なら絶対にこうはなるまい。

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
Why are so many treasures of great artistic and material value buried in such large quantities? Could it be that the civilization that once flourished on this planet became extinct because of the excesses of a wasteful culture that did not value things? How sad it would be if a civilization that created such wonderful treasures perished for such a reason.... We, rich-hearted Hocotatians, would never let this happen.

ホコタテ運送創業以来の社長の相棒。長い間バリバリ働いていたが、ここ数年は現役を退き倉庫に眠っていた。会社の規模拡大に伴い、次々と新しい高性能な貨物船が導入されたことが引退の理由だが、経験に裏付けされた航行能力は、むしろ最新型を上回っている。実は、社長の話し相手にさせられていたというのがどうやら本当のところのようだ。多くの借金を抱えた今回の経営危機には、見た目のポンコツぶりが幸いして売れ残った。オリマーが持ち帰った遭難の記録をを{{sic}}インプットして、探検をサポートすることになる。

{{transcript|
A partner of the president since the establishment of Hocotate Freight. Although it had worked hard for a long time, it retired from working and has been lying in a warehouse for the past few years. The reason for its retirement is that new high-performance cargo ships were introduced one after another as the company expanded its scale, but its navigational ability, backed by its experience, is rather superior to the latest models. The truth is, apparently, that it was made into the president's conversation partner. In the current business crisis, which has brought about a lot of debt, it was fortunate to remain unsold due to looking like a piece of junk. With the input of the shipwreck records brought back by Olimar, it will be providing support for the exploration.

Due to the management crisis at Hocotate Freight, most of the company's belongings were taken away as collateral, but some pieces of junk remained in a corner of the warehouse, packed in cardboard boxes. They were all broken, dusty, and shabby, but in reality, they were the president's mementos. They were a “space exploration kit” that he had purchased by mail order when he was a boy, with the idea of space in his mind. The president loaded them onto the Hocotate ship in the hope that they would be of some use in this exploration, and later they would greatly assist his subordinates in their exploration.
