Bridge

Some Blue Pikmin constructing a bridge.

Bridges are common obstacles in the Pikmin series. They are found as a pile of wood on one side of a gap or body of water, which Pikmin can be set to work on. Doing so will cause the wood to be constructed into a bridge that spans the obstruction. In Pikmin 2, there is a bridge that is surrounded by poison, just like some gates. Naturally, only White Pikmin can approach it, but once a few segments have been built, the poison pipes may be destroyed, allowing other Pikmin to assist them in completing the bridge. Bridges appear above ground only. Members of the Mandiblard family like Sheargrubs will chew apart stick bridges and roll them back into piles, as do Cloaking Burrow-nits.

A number of glitches are associated with bridges, generally involving Pikmin or enemies getting stuck in or under them.
