In {{p3}} and {{p4}}, three bomb rocks are required to destroy a reinforced wall (except for one wall in the [[Battle Enemies!]] version of [[Clockwork Chasm]] that only requires one bomb rock). In {{p1}}, there are three types of reinforced wall: white walls require three bomb rocks, grey walls require six, and black walls require nine.
In {{p1}}, there are two visually distinct types of reinforced walls: "white" walls, which require either three or six bomb rocks to go down depending on the individual wall, and "black" walls which always require nine six bomb rocks.

In ''Pikmin 3'', reinforced walls seem to be made out of concrete, as pieces of rebar can be seen sticking out of the top. In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', most of these walls have a design featuring thin white lines in the shape of [[Olimar]] and some [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].

*[[The Impact Site]]: There is a white reinforced wall on the opposite side of the tree stump where one fights the Mamuta or Goolix.
*[[The Impact Site]]: The area's reinforced wall, that separates the area's "beach" and the tree stump, takes three bomb rocks to get fully knocked down.
*[[The Forest of Hope]]: There are two reinforced walls near where the player first finds the Yellow Pikmin, and one next to the landing site, all of which are white. One black wall blocks off the alcove with the [[Extraordinary Bolt]].
 
*[[The Forest Navel]]: There are four reinforced walls scattered around the landing site plateau, serving only to block shortcuts. The first is directly adjacent to the landing site, and is gray. The other gray wall and a black wall lie near the [[Beady Long Legs]] arena, providing similar shortcuts – the gray wall is safe as long as the bridge has been unfurled, while the black wall opens a path guarded by [[mandiblard]]s. The final wall is a black one that provides a direct route from the landing site to the beach covered in [[Fiery Blowhogs]]. A fifth gray wall guards the Beady Long Legs directly, and must be taken down to collect the [[Guard Satellite]] at any speed.
*[[The Forest of Hope]]: There are four reinforced walls total. Two of them are located near the resting spot of the [[Onion#Yellow Onion|Yellow Onion]]; the one leading to the Whimsical Radar takes three bomb-rocks, and the one blocking off the route to the [[Burrowing Snagret]]s takes six bomb rocks. The one blocking off the other way out of the landing site takes six bomb rocks, while the one blocking off the [[Extraordinary Bolt]] takes nine bomb rocks.
*[[The Distant Spring]]: Two walls block the landing site from the majority of the land section- a black one directly next to the landing site opens the way to a large space with plenty of [[Spotty Bulbears]], while a gray one blocks a narrow route between a tree stump and a river crawling with [[Yellow Wollywog]]s.
 
*[[The Final Trial]]: One white wall blocks the two bridges in the middle of the area.
*[[The Forest Navel]]: There are five reinforced walls total, with four of them being scattered around the landing site plateau, serving only to shorten navigation and carrying distance when destroyed. One of them is directly connected to the landing site, and takes six bomb rocks, and another that takes nine bomb rocks sits close to it and the [[climbing stick]] that is used to reach the [[Automatic Gear]], blocking a quick connection between the area's main hill and the [[Fiery Blowhog]] filled beach. A six bomb rock strong wall is located right next to the two sloped bridges that better connect the landing site and beach, and a wall that takes nine bomb rocks is just to the right of the previous wall, connecting the [[Male Sheargrub]] and [[Shearwig]] filled corridor with the black gate blocking a shortcut to the to the final wall; one that takes six bomb rocks to get fully knocked down and that blocks off the entrance to the Beady Long Legs' arena. It is the only wall in the area that must be destroyed in order to obtain a ship part.
 
*[[The Distant Spring]]: This area has a total of only two reinforced walls; only one of which is required to retrieve parts from the northern reaches of the area. The one next to the landing site, which takes nine bomb rocks, opens up a ideal route for most of the ship parts in the northern parts of the map to take, while the one near the [[Gluon Drive]] that takes six bomb rocks provides a potentially safer path for the [[Zirconium Rotor]] and the [[Pilot's Seat]] to take.

A reinforced wall in Pikmin 3.

Reinforced walls (also known as stone walls[1], rock walls[2], rock gates[3] or stone gates[4]) are gates that can only be destroyed with bomb rocks. Pikmin cannot break these stone walls on their own; if they are directed to the wall, they will just tap their stems at them for a bit, before sighing and giving up.

In Pikmin, there are two visually distinct types of reinforced walls: "white" walls, which require either three or six bomb rocks to go down depending on the individual wall, and "black" walls which always require nine six bomb rocks. In Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4, three bomb rocks are required to destroy a reinforced wall (except for one wall in the Battle Enemies! version of Clockwork Chasm that only requires one bomb rock).

In Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4, reinforced walls seem to be made out of concrete, as pieces of rebar can be seen sticking out of the top. In Pikmin 3 Deluxe, most of these walls have designs featuring thin white lines in the shape of Olimar and some Pikmin.
