'''Winged Pikmin''' ({{j|羽ピクミン|Hane Pikumin}}) are a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin type]] that appear in {{p3}}, {{p4}}, {{hp}} | '''Winged Pikmin''' ({{j|羽ピクミン|Hane Pikumin}}) are a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin type]] that appear in {{p3}}, {{p4}}, {{hp}} and {{pb}}, with the special ability of flight. They are pink with large blue eyes, their bodies are striped in darker pink, and they have lavender [[Maturity|buds and flowers]] like [[Rock Pikmin]]. Their name comes from the transparent wings on their backs, which allows them to be airborne most of the time. This is particularly useful in [[combat]] and while [[carrying]]. Like other main Pikmin types, they are produced in an [[Onion]], and appear in all of the game's modes. | ||

Due to their constant airborne status, they can follow leaders more smoothly, as they can fly over obtrusions on the terrain, over [[water]], or over [[pit]]s. There are a few disadvantages, however. It's harder for them to take down small Pellet Posies (but still possible, with careful aim{{cite youtube|oMe5bryGCko|demonstrating how Winged Pikmin can still take down Pellet Posies}} or by throwing from below), and if their [[leader]] is underwater they cannot be [[throw]]n at all.

They are also weaker than other Pikmin types in terms of attack power, but the fact that they can fly makes fighting airborne enemies and specific weakpoints in larger enemies more convenient. Contrary to popular belief, Winged Pikmin do not cause more damage to flying enemies. | ||

It's possible for a Winged Pikmin to walk on the ground like any other Pikmin instead of flying. This can happen while building a [[bridge]], [[digging]], drinking [[nectar]], going back to the [[Onion]], pushing an [[obstacle]] such as an [[iron ball]], attacking a [[gate]], after being thrown away by an attack (if they are not called back and can't find an enemy to attack), after being [[ink]]ed or set [[Fire|ablaze]] (they will either fly or run), or when rescued from [[Water|drowning]] (if the player whistles the Pikmin, it will fly, but if the Pikmin manages to escape alone, it will set foot on ground).

They will also set foot on ground after sliding or using a [[geyser]] (in which case they will stay on ground until their leader moves). | ||

Whilst Olimar is being carried, holding down on {{button|3ds|stick}} allows him to descend faster, and upwards will make him perform a short hop, increasing the amount of air time. The left and right walking commands are the same while gliding and don't have any perks. Certain areas have a "wind effect" which pushes Olimar in the direction the wind is blowing; using a short hop allows the player to get slightly more height depending on which direction the wind blows. Notably Winged Pikmin also fly straight to the point the player taps on the screen without arching like other Pikmin. | ||

When carrying an object, Winged Pikmin will fly with it through the air, making it difficult to call them back with the ground [[whistle]]. Instead, they must be called by holding {{button|wii|b|wiiu|zr|wiiu|pcr}}, which will eventually summon a cylindrical beam of light that will call the Winged Pikmin, or by simpling whistling while aiming at the object they are carrying. As stated, Winged Pikmin are capable of flying over obstacles, but are considerably slow whilst carrying | When carrying an object, Winged Pikmin will fly with it through the air, making it difficult to call them back with the ground [[whistle]].

As stated, Winged Pikmin are capable of flying over obstacles, but are considerably slow whilst carrying. This can cause traffic in groups of Pikmin trying to return spoils to base, as Winged Pikmin slowly carrying an object in the front of the line will cause the rest of the Pikmin to get held up behind them. | ||
If multiple types of Pikmin are carrying something that a Winged Pikmin is also carrying, the Winged Pikmin will carry it closer to the ground and will not fly with it. However, if the number of Winged Pikmin carrying is the number of Pikmin required to lift the object, they will lift it into the air, causing any ground-based Pikmin trying to carry the object to let go or to cling on for a few seconds before falling off. | If multiple types of Pikmin are carrying something that a Winged Pikmin is also carrying, the Winged Pikmin will carry it closer to the ground and will not fly with it.

Due to this behavior, and combined with the fact that idle Pikmin are prone to assisting nearby Pikmin who are carrying an item, idle Winged Pikmin are known to "steal" spoils from other types of Pikmin by unintentionally snatching them away from the other Pikmin as they try to fly with it. | Due to this behavior, and combined with the fact that idle Pikmin are prone to assisting nearby Pikmin who are carrying an item, idle Winged Pikmin are known to "steal" spoils from other types of Pikmin by unintentionally snatching them away from the other Pikmin as they try to fly with it. | ||
