Explosions are a hazard that appear throughout the Pikmin series. Explosions are capable of damaging nearby enemies, leaders, some obstacles and knocking back and subsequently killing any Pikmin. Leaders are unable to become immune to explosives unlike a number of other hazards.

Some tools and enemies can generate explosions, either by self-detonation or by releasing exploding projectiles.

Destroying obstacles[edit]

In Pikmin Adventure[edit]

In Pikmin Adventure, explosions are used as both a tool and hazard that can be used by both players and enemies. Unlike in the main series, explosions slowly grow in size while active. Explosions can also vary in size depending on the scale of the bomb that explodes. The following enemies can utilize explosions.

  • Any Pikmin that are currently under the effect of another hazard are not affected by explosions in Pikmin, Pikmin 2, and Pikmin 3.
