Spray: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:57, January 27, 2014

A spray is an item in the Pikmin games, discovered by Captain Olimar in Pikmin 2. They can be collected and used at any time, each with a different beneficial effect. There are two known types of spray, Ultra-spicy and Ultra-bitter.

Ultra-spicy spray

File:Copy of Copy of Pikmin 2 Spray Screen.jpg

Main article: Ultra-spicy spray.

This is obtained from red berries and is to be used on Pikmin. It has the effect of temporarily enhancing their strength and speed, and their leaves, buds or flowers glow red. This makes Pikmin more effective at fighting, building, destroying and carrying for the 40 seconds it lasts.

Ultra-bitter spray

Main article: Ultra-bitter spray.

This is obtained from purple berries. It affects enemies and not Pikmin (excluding 2-Player Mode). When used, it encases any enemies in the path of the spray in stone for approximately 9 seconds; this is often enough time to kill or severely weakened the beast. If an enemy is killed while still petrified, it crumbles without leaving behind a carcass to produce more Pikmin, instead dropping nectar or sprays.

Obtaining sprays

In Pikmin 2, it is revealed that a species of plant called the Burgeoning Spiderwort produces berries that can be used to the captains' advantage. Both types of sprays can be made by returning 10 of the correct color of these berries to the ship, which then creates a spray from them. The two known berry colors, purple and red, produce the two kinds of sprays.

Sprays can also be found wherever nectar is, in the form of red or purple concentrated drops, each of which counts as one full spray. These drops can be found by breaking eggs, defeating petrified enemies, fighting Doodlebugs, Iridescent Glint Beetles and Iridescent Flint Beetles, squishing the secret Wistful Wild bugs, or defeating red Unmarked Spectralids or any petrified enemy.

Interference

When a captain is hit by an enemy, bomb-rock or something else while absorbing a concentrated dose of spray, he stops absorbing it, and it shrinks and disappears. Worst, the spray does not get collected, so it important to be careful when trying to get a spray.

Techniques

Main article: Glitches in Pikmin 2#Double sprays.

By exploiting a glitch, it is possible to absorb a single spray drop twice.

Early screenshot of spray.

In demo images of Pikmin 2 from before its release, there was a red spray, likely the Ultra-spicy spray, but also a yellow spray shown in the image as the bottom command on the D-pad. No exact information has been provided as to whether these were sprays at the time and if they did what the current sprays do now.

-Obtained from the red berries, this spray is to be used on the Pikmin. When used, the Pikmin temporarily get enhanced strength and speed, and their leaves/buds/flowers glow red. This is helpful in tough boss fights and when you are pressed for time. However, the effects of the spray also cause Pikmin to die much quicker when succumbing to a [[Obstacles#Hazards|hazard]]. The spray normally wears off after forty seconds. {{clear}}

-Obtained from the purple berries. This spray doesn't affect Pikmin (excluding [[2-Player_Battle|2-Player Battle]]), but is rather intended for enemies. When used, it will turn any enemies in the path of the spray into stone for approximately nine seconds; this should be enough time anyway for the enemy to be killed or severely weakened. However, if an enemy is killed when the spray is active, you will receive no carcass for your troubles and instead receive nectar or more sprays.

-Both types of sprays can be made by bringing ten of the berry needed to [[Captain Olimar|Olimar's]] rocket, which will create a spray from the berries. Sprays can also be found in any places where [[nectar]] is, in the form of red or purple nectar drops. Each one Olimar and Louie finds resting on the ground counts as one full spray. Spray Drops can be found by defeating [[Unmarked Spectralid]]s, [[Honeywisp]]s, and the [[Secret Insects at the Wistful Wild]]. They can also be found in [[Nectar Egg|egg]]. Olimar and Louie can get two sprays in one drop [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Easter_eggs_and_glitches#Double_Sprays using this glitch.]
