It could be possible that Blue Pikmin die first, because they have the ability to travel on water and land. Basically, they die first because it in a form, is balancing gameplay. Face it, without Blues, you would be in a lot of trouble. The designers of the game must have made it balanced, because blue pikmin have possibly, the best ability in the game.

Hi, the aforementioned bullet point seems confusingly worded. Here it is: "<nowiki>*[[Hero's Hideaway]] ([[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]]): When entered, a lot of Blue Pikmin will come out of the [[onion]]. To avoid automatically collecting them when the day ends, clever use of [[Bomb Rock]]s can be employed, or the day can be completed in a single day.</nowiki>" What does it mean by come out of the Onion? Just leave? And why doesn't the player want to collect them when the day ends? And how does this have anything to do with the recommended uses of Blue Pikmin? Maybe I'm blindly misinterpreting something (wouldn't be the first time), but I think this could really use some clarification, thanks. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif">[[User:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">Deeb1324354657</span>]] ([[User_talk:Deeb1324354657|<span style="color:#1e02f5">talk</span>]])</span> 13:08, July 12, 2024 (EDT) | |||
:Basically, in a Blue-less run, you don't want to get any Blue pikmin at all. That much, we can agree on, right? Now, for the most part, That's easy, just don't collect the onion and rush past any wild pikmin.

Now, again, you don't have to collect them, you can just rush past them. But When you Come back the next day and check the onion, the Blue Pikmin that were there when the day ended will be inside of the onion.

It's odd. Not only can a blue pikmin throw a purple pikmin that is ten times its own weight, but it actually throws purples FURTHER than any other colors. Red, yellow, and white pikmin get tossed out normally, but the purples have a very long arc to them. You'd think it would be the other way around, considering that purples weigh more...

Hey, since blue pikmin have gills, how can they breathe on land?- anikanpiggy1
- Gills aren't really the opposite of lungs. I'm not an expert on respiration...or, a respirologist...but I can tell you that part of the reason lungs work so poorly under water is because water tends to have less oxygen per square unit than air. Not only that, but once your lungs have filled with water, they become totally useless in the air because new, oxygenated
airwater is no longer rushing in to replace the stuff you've already used, and there's practically no exchange of oxygen between the air outside and the water inside. I'm sure there are also reasons for lungs not working on the microscopic level, maybe having something to do with the way oxygen is transported through the alveoli walls...but that's not something I've ever looked into. Might be interesting though. I should check out Wikipedia.... Anyway, like I was saying, gills aren't just like lungs which use water instead of air, they're different organs. In fish, rather than sucking air into little sacs, water is whooshed along the surface of the gills which are filled with blood vessels. They do have a limited functionality above the water, and in fact, primitive arthropods used modified gill-like organs when taking the first steps onto land, but typically they just aren't designed to move large volumes of thin air like lungs are. That being said, much smaller animals, like tiny water-faring invertebrates, and of course Pikmin, would have a much easier time breathing air using gills than animals the size of a whale shark would....
- Gills aren't really the opposite of lungs. I'm not an expert on respiration...or, a respirologist...but I can tell you that part of the reason lungs work so poorly under water is because water tends to have less oxygen per square unit than air. Not only that, but once your lungs have filled with water, they become totally useless in the air because new, oxygenated
- EVEN STILL, there isn't anything that actually suggest that non-blue Pikmin use or have lungs. I think it's much more likely that they use their leaves' large surface areas to their advantage and take oxygen right out of the air just by waving it around. Like I said, smaller creatures have a much easier time with this, and they wouldn't even really need a terribly complex circulatory system to move that oxygen around their bodies. This is all really facinating... Too bad the Pikmin games don't have a dis—wait, I said that already. —Jimbo Jambo
- Yeah, I knew that... My intent was to make it clear I find the American spelling silly... Anyway, wondering, then - seeing as H2S and CH4 are colourless, where could the purple come from? And could we assume that all poison in the game is mainly those two chemicals? And the same for what's in whites?GP
- It never said that those were the only two gasses the bug's flatulence, but the way it's written implies that hydrogen-sulfide makes up no small part of it, meaning that is it wasn't poisonous to Pikmin, it would most likely do nothing but dilute the rest of the gasses. The color is something I don't even want to bother getting into; it could be anything from tiny flecks of purplish waste to...purple something else. That's just looking at it in an in-universe manner though, since the color was undoubtedly added for the sole purpose of showing the player where the gas clouds are. Also, I can't say that all poison in the game is composed of the same gas, and I never meant to imply that I was saying that, since there's no limit to the kinds of nasty things that could be blown out of little orange pipes in the ground into the faces of Pikmin. —Jimbo Jambo

regarding the death rate statistic[edit]
the reason for the high deathrate among blues has to do with there mobility. the blue pikmin's amphibious tendencies make it vulnrable to both aquatic and landdwelling predetors. --Foutlet 01:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
that's not even close--Yuki no Bulborb
(stuff removed by author) sorry, wrong talk... JimmytheJ
Actually he has a point. If this was measured by the end of game pikmin total for a color divided by amount destroyed can get VERY misleading results. (Example: Waterwraith.) I say we should throw 20 of each type of pikmin (all flowers) in one large pikmin puddle and awake a nearby bulborb, then call the pikmin back when: A-It dies OR B- only 20 pikmin back. Then we can calculate the statistics. I'll do three tests on Tuesday or Sunday then report the results. Ridly Roar! 22:56, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
- I have tested, take 20 of each Pik to fight the Burrowing Snagret, blues die first... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.
I had to change the test, so what I did was I took a yellow, a blue, and a red, and threw them in a group, then awakened s nearby shesrgrub. I did this six times, and blues went first 4 times. MYTH CONFIRMED Ridly Roar! 11:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
- Wasn't the point of the conversation, though. To which I say it's stating speculation as fact; there's nothing to say if it's right or wrong.GP

I'm pretty sure they can, but they have to be idle

yes they can--Pikmin fan 101

Because once you thro then, they turn idle--Pikmin fan 101
