| {{split|There's enough to say about each of the main types of gate that they can get their own articles.}} | | '''Gates''' (also called '''walls''') are [[obstacle]]s in all [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] that block paths to other sections of an [[area]]. There are several different types of gate in each game, which require different methods to overcome. They serve to either make the player wait before being able to access part of an area (encouraging multitasking), to prevent access to part of an area before unlocking a certain Pikmin type, or to force the player to consider strategy and Pikmin management as they explore an area. |

| |
| '''Gates''' (also called '''walls''') are [[obstacle]]s in all [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] that block paths to other areas. They are found in a number of different forms, which require different strategies to overcome. In general, they can be destroyed by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]: a [[leader]] just needs to order them to work on the structure. As time passes, a gate that is being destroyed becomes weaker in distinct stages, before finally being taken down with the standard "task complete" sound effect. The length of time it takes to demolish a gate depends on its type, and the number and types of Pikmin working on it. Some gates require specific Pikmin types to overcome. | |
| | |
| In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', gates have three stages, and when passing from one to the next, they sink lower to the ground. ''Pikmin 3'' eschews this for a more realistic look, where the gates show visible damage.

| '''Bramble gates''' are the most basic type of gate in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', being replaced with [[#Dirt wall|dirt walls]] for the third game. Any Pikmin type can damage a bramble gate. There are two types of these gates: white and black. Black gates are harder to break down than white ones. These can also be found with [[gas pipe]]s within, requiring [[White Pikmin]] to take them down. | | {{main|Bramble gate}} |
| | '''Bramble gates''' are the most basic type of gate in {{p1}} and {{p2}}. Any Pikmin type can damage a bramble gate. They come in white and black colors, with black gates having more health than white gates. Some bramble gates in ''Pikmin 2'' have [[poison emitter]]s inside them and can only be destroyed by [[White Pikmin]] as a result. |
|
| |
|
| In ''Pikmin'', white gates can also be destroyed with two [[bomb rock]]s, and black gates require four. The exact health values are not very rigid, however – the gate that encloses the [[Emperor Bulblax]]'s arena on [[The Final Trial]] is surprisingly frail. In ''Pikmin 2'', normal gates above ground have between 10000 and 43000 hit points. They tend in general to be much sturdier than the [[Randomness|random]]ly generated ones in [[cave]]s (100 - 12800) and [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] levels (1 - 4000). For comparison, a [[Red Bulborb]] has 750 hit points.

| *[[The Impact Site]]: There is a white gate to the southwest in the area with [[Pearly Clamclamp]]s.
| |
| *[[The Forest of Hope]]: There is one white gate right in the base, another white in the easternmost part of the main area with [[Red Bulborb]]s, a black one in front of the area with the [[Nova Blaster]], a submerged white gate shortly beyond the previously mentioned black gate, and finally, a black gate in front of the arena with the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]].
| |

A black gate is located at the beginning of the pathway leading towards the [[Libra]] and [[Analog Computer]], and a second black gate can be found adjacent to the [[Beady Long Legs]]' arena, though not serving as a direct impediment.
| |
| *[[The Distant Spring]]: A white gate is found blocking off access to the [[Zirconium Rotor]], and a black gate is directly opposite to it, leading into the area where the [[Pilot's Seat]] is found. Another white gate is found beside the tree trunks surrounding the Armored Cannon Beetle, in the path of the [[Bowsprit]]'s waypoints.

| {{game help|hp}} | | '''Dirt walls''' are sandcastle-like gates found in {{p3}}, {{p4}}, and {{hp}}. They are the most basic type of gate in these games. These types of gates can be destroyed by any Pikmin type, and as they are damaged, parts of the gate will fall away until they are completely destroyed. |

| |
| '''Dirt walls''' are sandcastle-like gates found in {{p3}} and {{hp}}. They are the most basic type of gate and replace bramble gates from the first two games. They break down and fall apart as opposed to sinking into the ground. These types of gates can be destroyed by any Pikmin type; however, some of these walls are found partially or completely submerged underwater, meaning that they require [[Blue Pikmin]] to destroy. | |
| | |
| In ''Pikmin 3'', Pikmin are more effective at taking one down if they are latched onto it from a throw{{cite youtube|mRGpLSrUyVc|comparing latched Pikmin, grounded Pikmin, thrown Rock Pikmin, and lone Rock Pikmin on a dirt wall|rname=dirt_speed}}, but as the layers on the gate peel down, those Pikmin will eventually fall and attack at ground level. For [[Rock Pikmin]] in ''Pikmin 3'', throwing them at the wall repeatedly is much faster than letting them lunge on their own, and is in fact, the fastest way to take down a wall using Pikmin.{{cite youtube|rname=dirt_speed}} In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' however, Rock Pikmin left to attack the wall on their own can take it down fairly quickly.{{cite youtube|FM3KNYA4YxA|comparing the time different Pikmin types take to destroy a dirt wall|published={{date|8|March|2021}}|retrieved={{date|9|March|2021}}}} These walls can be destroyed using a single [[bomb rock]].
| |
| | |
| These types of walls all have the same design in ''Pikmin 3'', but in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', there are 8 different designs of dirt wall with various patterns of white paint on the columns at the sides of the wall. Those designs are: no paint, 3 horizontal stripes, 1 vertical stripe, 2 wavy stripes (all walls with this pattern are found in water), 3 diagonal stripes, an "X" mark, 3 triangles, and 4 circles.

| ;''Pikmin 3''
| |
| *[[Tropical Wilds]]: One is found on the first day, inside the cave where the [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]] would normally be, another is outside the landing site, and closes off access to a [[Pocked Airhead]], a third wall underwater guards access to the [[Calcified Crushblat]]'s arena, and a fourth can be found separating the small brown bridge near the landing site from the area with a [[Dapper Blob]] and a [[Swooping Snitchbug]].
| |
| *[[Garden of Hope]]: One is located in the second half of the area, near the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]]'s nest, and another is located near the [[Toady Bloyster]] and a pile of fragments used to build the pot. Both of these are completely submerged underwater. A third separates the landing site from the [[fragment]] pile used to build the nearby [[bridge]], with this bridge leading to a fourth wall by the [[Bulborb]]. A fifth wall blocks the 2D facing area with the [[Zest Bomb]] and [[Astringent Clump]], with the last one blocking access to the [[Armored Mawdad]]'s arena.
| |
| *[[Distant Tundra]]: Two of the dirt walls in this area are partially submerged in the main river. One is by the area with [[Wogpole]]s, near the land protrusion to swap Pikmin in, while the other one is right next to the ledge with the [[Face Wrinkler]]. The last dirt wall is also by the land protrusion, but it blocks an alcove with a [[Bearded Amprat]] and a [[Bouncy Mushroom]].
| |
| *[[Twilight River]]: One wall is in the second half of the area, and blocks off a small land bridge to cross the river, and a second one separates the area with the [[clipboard]]s and the swarm of [[Scornet]]s.
| |
| *[[Formidable Oak]]: The first is found at the end of the room with the [[Bulborb]]s, the next one can be found to the far end of the circular area where the bridge is built, a third is at the end of the path where the [[Nectarous Dandelfly]] is, and the fourth is in the dark cave, and simply separates a path to get the fragments (this wall does not need to be destroyed, however). The final is also in the dark cave, blocking the path that needs to be taken if the clipboard is not lifted.
| |
| *[[Flower Garden]]: One stands near the Rock Pikmin and blocks one of two routes to the second half of the level, while the second blocks access to a [[Face Wrinkler]].
| |
| *[[Inside Forest]]: The first is right next to the Onion, and is a shortcut to the main area of the level. The second blocks access to the arena with the [[Orange Bulborb]].
| |
| *[[Pikmin Reunion]]: There is one adjacent to the Red Onion for a mild shortcut.
| |
| *[[Creature Hunting]]: A dirt wall blocks access to a [[Bulborb]] and some [[Dwarf Bulborbs]].
| |
| *[[Land, Sea, and Sky]]: A dirt wall blocks Red Pikmin from being able to proceed beyond their starting area beyond the red bridge.
| |
| *[[First Part Found]]: One appears near the [[Fiery Blowhogs]] and blocks the blue bridge from being constructed, while a second blocks a route for the ship part to take. A third wall serves primarily as a choice in detour.
| |
| *[[Team Monster Hunt]]: A dirt wall blocks Olimar from being able to access the [[Whiptongue Bulborb]]s.

| '''Reinforced walls''' (also known as '''stone gates'''{{cite web|https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Wii/NEW-PLAY-CONTROL-Pikmin-282343.html#Surviving_the_Planet|NEW PLAY CONTROL! Pikmin|Nintendo.co.uk}}) are, as the name would suggest, less destructible than regular gates. They do not appear in the second game. Pikmin cannot attack these stone walls: if they are told to try, they will just tap their stems at them for a bit, before sighing and giving up. [[Bomb rock]]s must explode near them in order to take them down. In ''Pikmin 3'', only three bomb rocks are needed to take one down (aside from one in the [[Battle Enemies!]] version of [[Clockwork Chasm]] that only requires one bomb rock), but in ''Pikmin'' white, gray and black gates, need three, six and nine bomb rocks to destroy, respectively. In ''Pikmin 3'', they 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]]. | | [[File:Reinforced Wall P4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A reinforced wall in ''Pikmin 4''.]] |
| | {{main|Reinforced wall}} |
| | '''Reinforced walls''' are gates that can only be destroyed with [[bomb rock]]s. Pikmin cannot break these walls on their own. The number of bomb rock explosions needed to destroy a reinforced wall varies by game. |

| *[[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 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 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.

| In ''Pikmin 3'', they are made of four {{w|fluorescent lamp}}s laid horizontally on top of one another, with each lamp breaking down (and becoming harmless) at each stage of destruction. When the gate is finally opened, all lamps explode. Pikmin cannot grab on to this type of gate – they can only attack from the ground. Bomb rocks cannot be used to damage these gates.

| | '''Crystal walls''' are gates in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'' that require [[Rock Pikmin]] to break. They are made of a sheet of glass-like [[crystal]] between two metal clamps. |
|
| |
|
| '''Crystal walls''' are gate types found only in ''Pikmin 3'', and require [[Rock Pikmin]] to break. The gate itself is made of a piece of glass (identified as "[[crystal]]") stuck between 2 clamps, and will crack as Rock Pikmin hit it. Once enough damage has occurred, the wall will shatter altogether rather than break gradually or sink in the ground. The cracks are split in quadrants, and once a quadrant has been damaged enough, the whole structure breaks. As such, hitting the same quadrant repeatedly will take the wall down faster than hitting several quadrants. Although uncertain, it appears that all crystal walls in story mode take 24 direct hits to break if the same quadrant is hit every time, and 28 direct hits if a different quadrant is hit each time. Any crystal gate needs 2 bomb rock explosions in order to shatter, regardless of health value. In {{p3d}}, there are 3 designs of this wall: one with the standard dark rusted metal on the sides, one with much lighter rusted metal, and one with rust-free metal.

Each of the five sticks has a pink handle on top, which requires two Winged Pikmin in order to be lifted – as such, ten Winged Pikmin must be issued to lift the entire gate. Until they are called back, they will keep the gate in this opened position, allowing leaders, Pikmin, or even [[enemy|enemies]] passage underneath. No more than 10 Winged Pikmin can lift a single gate, and once they are told to return, they will close it again. If less than all the Winged Pikmin get called back, the gate will fall and any remaining Pikmin will struggle to hold up the gate. If an item gets stuck under a closed bamboo gate, it will glitch back and forth while remaining stuck in the gate. It will be freed if the gate is lifted back up, however. | | [[File:Numbered Gate P4.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A numbered gate.]] |

| | '''Numbered gates''' are gates that open once a certain number of nearby objectives have been cleared. These objectives are most often defeating nearby [[Enemy|enemies]]. They are made of metal and have a dot-matrix display on the side for showing a 2-digit number. This number counts down as those objectives are met, and once it reaches 0, the gate opens by lowering into the ground. |

| ===Locations===
| | {{clear}} |
| *[[Garden of Hope]]: One in the pool where [[Blue Pikmin]] are found.
| |
| *[[Distant Tundra]]: One guarding the [[Shaggy Long Legs]] arena, and another guarding the [[Spotty Bulbear]].
| |
| *[[Twilight River]]: One serving as a back entrance, allowing one to reach the [[Portable Sunset]] without fighting the three [[Orange Bulborb]]s in close proximity. Found near the [[Burrowing Snagret]] arena.
| |
| *[[Land, Sea, and Sky]]: Two block access to a group of enemies.
| |
| *[[Team Monster Hunt]]: A bamboo gate appears next to Olimar's starting position, while a second blocks access to some sprouted Winged Pikmin on Louie's side of the field.
| |
| *[[Big Fruit Carnival]]: A single bamboo gate must be lifted to progress through the level, but it otherwise does not hamper the path of any collectible fruit.

| | '''Switch gates''' are gates in ''Pikmin 4'' that can be either raised (blocking a path) or lowered (allowing passage), and are toggled with [[switch]]es. There are three types: '''white gates''' can be lowered with single-button switches and cannot be raised afterwards, and '''red gates''' and '''blue gates''' can be toggled between their raised and lowered states with 2-button switches. |

| ==Brick wall== | | ==Stubborn rocks== |
| [[File:Distant Tundra Snow Wall.jpg|thumb|right|One of the brick walls in the Distant Tundra, destroyed.]] | | [[File:P3 Distant Tundra Stubborn Rocks.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A set of stubborn rocks in the Distant Tundra.]] |
| '''Brick walls''' are rare walls in ''Pikmin 3'' that are destroyed by pushing [[iron ball]]s down a slope. They cannot be locked-on to, as there is no other way to destroy them. There are two in [[Story Mode]], both in the [[Distant Tundra]]: | | {{main|Stubborn rocks}} |
| * One at the exit of the cave where [[Brittany]] lands upon first arriving in the Distant Tundra. This wall must be destroyed to exit the cave and start the day properly, without the use of [[Glitches in Pikmin 3|glitches]].
| | '''Stubborn rocks''' are walls in ''Pikmin 3'' made of stones that are destroyed by pushing [[iron ball]]s down a slope. They're found frequently in [[Side Stories]], but are never paired with iron balls in them, instead acting as unpassable barriers alongside cinderblocks and wooden signs. |
| * One in the northern section of the main area with the [[geyser]]s and [[Arctic Cannon Larva]]e. Destroying the wall gives access to the large cave system where the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] is found. Two leaders must be used to access the ledge where the iron ball can be pushed down from, restricting access to the cave until [[Alph]] and [[Brittany]] are reunited.
| |
| | |
| ==Cinderblock==
| |
| '''Cinderblocks''' are indestructible walls in ''Pikmin 3'', one of which acts as a gate. Upon rescuing [[Louie]] from the [[Scornet Maestro]], a cinderblock in the [[Garden of Hope]] is blown up, allowing access to the southwest half of the area and the next part of the story. Outside of this case, cinderblocks are used in various [[Mission Mode]] and [[Side Stories]] stages to block off parts of the area, and five are used as background scenery in inaccessible parts of the Garden of Hope.

| *In ''Pikmin 3'', Pikmin that are thrown and touch a destroyed gate will perform a celebratory flip and cheer. It is unknown whether this is an oversight or on purpose. | | *In ''Pikmin 3'', Pikmin that are thrown and touch a destroyed gate will perform a celebratory flip and cheer.
