'''Winged Pikmin''' ({{j|羽ピクミン|Hane Pikumin}}) are a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin type]] that first appears in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They are pink with large blue eyes, their bodies are striped in darker pink, and they have lavender 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, but the color of their buds and flowers is lavender, like the [[Rock Pikmin]].
'''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-purple [[Maturity|buds and flowers]] like [[Rock Pikmin]]. Their name comes from the transparent wings on their backs, which allow 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.

As their name implies, Winged Pikmin are capable of flight, and are constantly airborne. Winged Pikmin can also [[carry]] objects into the air, enabling them to take shortcuts, but they carry objects slower than other Pikmin types in ''Pikmin 3'' and its re-release when there are over 66 Pikmin on the field. Winged Pikmin [[Carry#Winged Pikmin|behave differently]] when they carry objects alongside other Pikmin.

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 targeting specific weak points in larger enemies more convenient. Contrary to popular belief, Winged Pikmin do not cause more damage to flying enemies.

Interestingly, Winged Pikmin cannot be [[crush]]ed, except by the crystal cubes released from the [[Plasm Wraith|final boss]]. Whenever they get hit by an attack that would crush regular Pikmin, Winged Pikmin are merely thrown backward.{{cite youtube|Vyu_mt_QHI8|demonstrating how Winged Pikmin cannot get crushed, except against the Plasm Wraith}}

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 the ground after sliding or using a [[geyser]] (in which case they will stay on the ground until their leader moves).

In {{hp}}, Winged Pikmin behave similarly to {{p3}} but have the new ability to carry Olimar until he hits the ground if he falls from a certain distance, similar to gliding. 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.
In {{p4}}, Winged Pikmin appear with a visibly unchanged behavior from {{p3}}. However, they are now more vulnerable to crushing hazards, are thrown slightly higher than most other types besides Yellow Pikmin and have noticibly improved targeting of enemies in combat, especially those with specific weak points. Newly introduced ground-based hazards such as [[Sticky mold]] and [[Mud]] can be safely ignored by Winged Pikmin, even though this is not necessarily a new inherent ability and is simply related to their flight. Grounded hostiles who attempt to steal carryable items like [[Breadbugs]], [[Dog|Dogs]] and enemy [[Glow Pikmin]] in [[Dandori Battle]] will also be unable to attempt to steal a flying item. However, their shortcuts are notably much less ambitious than they used to be, mainly only carrying over small gaps and ledges [[Oatchi]] can jump over, potentially to allow [[White Pikmin]] to better compete with them. Winged Pikmin can still remain active over the water, but they can no longer be charged while the player is submerged, although the effects of [[dismissing]] and the [[Lineup Trumpet]] still remain viable means of commanding them in these situations.

[[File:PinkOnionWeb.png|150px|thumb|The Winged Onion trapped in the Arachnode's web.]]
Winged Pikmin are discovered in the [[Twilight River]]. Across a river from where the leaders land is an [[Arachnode]] web, with a Winged Onion trapped in it. Scattered across the area are blue fragments for a large blue bridge, which leads to the opposite shore. Destroying the Arachnode that owns the trap will free the Winged Onion from its grasp. After doing so, it will release a single Winged Pikmin seed, allowing more Pikmin to be propagated. The ideal way to do this is with the [[flukeweed]]s in the Onion's site, and through Pellet Posies on the other sides of small ponds, which both demonstrate the Pikmin's ability to fly. The Winged Pikmin are later used in the area to allow lily pads to flow to the second half of the area. As with other Onions, the Winged Onion merges with the main Onion at the end of the day.

**{{icon|Astringent Clump|y}} ([[Garden of Hope]]): The [[elevator platforms]] are meant to be used, but it is easier to have Winged Pikmin fly up and obtain the fruit.
**{{icon|Searing Acidshock|y}} ([[Tropical Wilds]]): With the one obtained from the [[Calcified Crushblat]], either Winged or [[Blue Pikmin]] must be present to carry the fruit back.
**{{icon|Delectable Bouquet|y}} ([[Twilight River]]): The fruit is too high up for Yellow Pikmin to adequately reach until the second half of the area is discovered. Winged Pikmin can easily collect it beforehand.
**{{icon|Stellar Extrusion|y}} (Tropical Wilds): It can be obtained using Yellow Pikmin and the scales in the [[Tropical Wilds]], but it is much easier to obtain by manipulating the camera and swarming Winged Pikmin at it.
**{{icon|Dusk Pustules|y}} (Garden of Hope): This fruit normally requires a [[seesaw block]] puzzle to be properly collected, a puzzle that Winged Pikmin can bypass entirely.

**{{icon|Insect Condo|y|v=FF}}: This fruit is held by a [[Burrowing Snagret]], and Winged Pikmin are very good for fighting the mini-boss.
**{{icon|Portable Sunset|y}} (Twilight River): The safest method of obtaining this requires that a bamboo gate be lifted. Alternatively, three [[Orange Bulborb]]s can be fought.

Because carrier Winged Pikmin are in constant flight, they have unique carrying properties that differ from the other Pikmin types.
Because carrier Winged Pikmin are in constant flight, they have unique carrying properties that differ from the other Pikmin types.


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 if there are more than 66 Pikmin on the field. 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.

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.
 
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.
 
In {{p3}}, Winged Pikmin will only carry objects at half of their max speed if the player has 66 or more Pikmin out and will only carry objects at their full speed if there are 65 or less Pikmin out.
 
In {{p4}}, these traits have been changed significantly. For example, Winged Pikmin no longer experience a carrying speed disadvantage and carry at the same speed as most Pikmin. On top of this, they will now always add speed to a carried item like any other Pikmin would, unlike in ''Pikmin 3'' where there were situations in which Winged Pikmin carrying an item would not contribute to the carry speed.
 
==In ''Pikmin 4''==
{{game help|p4|Add uses in Dandori caves}}
===Discovery===
In {{p4}}, Winged Pikmin can be found as early as the [[Below-Grade Discotheque]] in [[Serene Shores]]. Their onion, however, is found far within the final area: The [[Primordial Thicket]].
 
===Near-Required uses===
While no treasure or obstacle requires Winged Pikmin, there are several uses they are highly recommended for, as they can only be bypassed through glitches and exploits without them.
* {{icon|Skin of the Phoenix|y|v=P4}} ([[The Mud Pit]]): This treasure is found submerged in [[mud]], so it is physically impossible for any type besides Winged Pikmin to grab onto it in this state. To forgo using them, the mud can be frozen using 100 [[Ice Pikmin]], then the treasure must be slowly pushed out of the frozen mud using Oatchi's Rush several times, either from the ice or from the bridge.
* {{icon|Sweat-Soaked Blue Bird|y|v=P4}} ([[The Mud Pit]]): Same as above.
* {{icon|Straight-and-Narrow Track|v=P4|y}} ([[Ultimate Testing Range]]): On a lower ledge, there is no path grounded Pikmin types can use to carry it out. Oatchi also cannot carry it back without using exploits in his pathing.
* {{icon|Telekinesis Detector|v=P4|y}} ([[Ultimate Testing Range]]): As it is in a dead end guarded by a gate, Winged Pikmin are the only type that can carry it (through normal means) to the [[S.S. Beagle]]. By exploiting a glitch using Oatchi's Rush several times, the treasure can be pushed off its ledge and through the gate.
 
===Reccomended uses===
These treasures or obstacles do not necessarily require Winged Pikmin, but they're useful to have.
* {{icon|Divine Balloon|y|v=P4}} ([[Dream Home]]): This treasure is behind a wall that Winged Pikmin can fly over, but since it's pretty light, [[Oatchi]] can rush into it.


==In ''Hey! Pikmin''==
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.
Winged Pikmin are first encountered in [[Fragrant Forest]]. During exploration, their flying ability allows them to follow Olimar in places that only he can reach with a [[jetpack]], and in [[Pikmin Park]], they can remove rubble that the other types cannot reach.


==In ''Pikmin Bloom''==
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.
In {{pb}}, Winged Pikmin are the sixth Pikmin type unlocked, at [[level]] 10. Their [[seedling]]s require a minimum of 5 carrying strength to be retrieved, along with 5000 steps to grow. In [[expedition]]s, they have a carrying strength of 1 and a [[Expedition#Speed|time modifier]] of 0.2 when only Winged Pikmin are used and 1 otherwise. In [[mushroom battle]]s, they have a base [[Mushroom battle#Attack power|attack power]] of 2.

=== Dalmo's notes ===
{{transcript|These peculiar little fliers look like they're wearing goggles. Don't be put off by their odd appearance though.

=== Olimar's notes ===
{{transcript|The wings on the back of this flying Pikmin species closely resemble the wings you would find on a flying creature. It's possible that an ancient Winged Onion somehow absorbed a flying creature's DNA, which then resulted in the precursor to the Winged Pikmin transforming into the species we recognize today.
 
If this theory is correct, then Onions might also be serving the role of messenger, transmitting new traits and characteristics to their Pikmin.|block=y}}

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Winged Pikmin have dark stripes on their bodies which make them resemble bees. This color pattern makes their bodies non-monochromatic, a trait uncommon in most Pikmin types.
* Winged Pikmin are pronounced Wing-ed Pikmin, as shown in a ''Hey! Pikmin'' trailer, meaning this is probably the official pronunciation.{{cite youtube|iHGTVVLmxBI|of the Hey! PIKMIN Lift-Off Trailer}}
* Winged Pikmin are internally labeled <code>piki_p3_orange</code>.{{cite web|https://i.imgur.com/TkZ27Vp.png|Imgur image showing the sub-model names for the Pikmin models}} This heavily implies Winged Pikmin were originally planned to be orange. Something similar can be seen with ''Pikmin 2'' and the [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information#Early bulborbs|early Bulborbs]].
* If Winged Pikmin are dismissed over an [[abyss]], they raise up a bit before finally becoming idle. They can be whistled back and re-dismissed to raise continuously higher, to the point where the [[whistle]] cannot reach them any more.{{cite youtube|V1jyEEVFPYc|showing Winged Pikmin rising as they get dismissed over a bottomless pit}}

* It's actually possible for a [[Sputtlefish]] to ink a Winged Pikmin in the [[Garden of Hope]]. This is unlikely to occur in normal gameplay, though it's not a [[glitch]].{{cite youtube|TcMbf01-32o|showing how a Sputtlefish can poison a Winged Pikmin.}}

*Using a [[Sequence break#Early Winged Pikmin|sequence break]], it's possible to unlock Winged Pikmin without building the bridge to their Onion. If, however, Winged Pikmin are told to construct this bridge, they will not take a path in the air, but instead will take the same path as the other Pikmin types, and so they will walk instead of flying.{{cite youtube|yaxX_D51-gM|showing Winged Pikmin walking instead of flying in the Twilight River.}} Finally, this can also happen if the main bridges in the [[Distant Tundra]] were [[Sequence break#Distant Tundra bridge skip|skipped]].{{cite youtube|YyKwv8Akhr4|showing Winged Pikmin walking in the Distant Tundra.}}
*Using a [[Glitches in Pikmin 3#Early Winged Pikmin|sequence break]], it's possible to unlock Winged Pikmin without building a certain bridge.

* They were revealed in a Nintendo Direct broadcast on {{date|17|April|2013}} as the eighth Pikmin type in the series.
* To help advertise {{p3}}, Nintendo of Canada participated in the 2013 {{w|Red Bull Flugtag}} event, with some representatives dressed in Pikmin and leader suits riding a Winged Pikmin aircraft.{{cite web|https://www.polygon.com/2013/7/22/4546970/winged-pikmin-aircraft-to-fly-at-red-bull-flugtag-ottawa-gatineau|Winged Pikmin aircraft to fly at Red Bull Flugtag Ottawa-Gatineau|Polygon|published={{date|22|July|2013}}|retrieved={{date|13|September|2017}}}} The aircraft didn't hover much and dipped right away, awarding the participants a total score of 16.24.{{cite youtube|zM6B4W65Jng|of the Winged Pikmin aircraft on Red Bull Flugtag 2013}}

*If you have more than 66 Winged Pikmin on the field in [[Pikmin 3 Deluxe]] (Unknown in [[Pikmin 3]]) they will carry carryable objects slower than normal.
 
* Louie's notes on the Winged Pikmin appear to reference his abduction by the [[Scornet Maestro]] in ''Pikmin 3''.
