'''Yellow Pikmin''' are the second type of Pikmin discovered in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', the fourth in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and the third in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', although they also appear at the very beginning during [[Charlie]]'s tutorial. These Pikmin have what appear to be very large ears; the means by which they are primarily identifiable. It is not known, however, whether or not this actually aids to their hearing. They also appear to prefer elevated habitats, such as trees. In all three games, the Yellow Pikmin are the lightest Pikmin type and can be thrown higher than other Pikmin. This is an ability which is needed to retrieve certain elevated objects.

The abilities of Yellow Pikmin vary more in the series than any other member of the [[Pikmin family|species]].  Yellow Pikmin are the only Pikmin able to wield bomb rocks in both ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. Also, in ''[[Pikmin 3 |Pikmin 3]]'',Yellow Pikmin can dig much faster than any other Pikmin. In ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]], ''Yellow Pikmin can deal electrical damage to enemies.

'''Yellow Pikmin''' are the second type of Pikmin collected in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', the fourth type in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and they're first found with [[Charlie]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. These Pikmin have what would appear to be large ears; these are the means by which they are primarily identifiable. It is not known, however, whether or not this actually aids their hearing. In every game the Yellow Pikmin can be [[throw]]n higher than other Pikmin due to their ears, which help them glide<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/games/wii/a_colourful_crew_12355.html Nintendo of Europe: Yellow Pikmin glide</ref> however in ''Pikmin 3'', [[Brittany]] says that its the Pikmin's lightweight body that allows them to be thrown higher. This is an ability which is needed to retrieve certain elevated [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s and [[fruit]]s. Additionally, Yellow Pikmin appear to like being in elevated places, such as trees.
In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Yellow Pikmin are discovered in [[The Forest of Hope]] inside an inactive [[Yellow Onion]]. In this first game, they are able to carry explosive [[Bomb Rock]]s, which can be used to defeat enemies or demolish gates, and are required to demolish [[Wall|stone walls]]. Improper handling of Bomb Rocks can result in accidental friendly fire, so caution is advised. There are three types of walls. The first kind are White Stone Walls, which are the easiest for the yellow Pikmin to destroy, as they only require about 3 bomb rocks. The Gray Stone Walls are the second kind, and they take 6 bomb rocks to break down. The Black Stone Walls are the hardest wall to demolish, and will make any Pikmin fanatic frown once they come upon one. They take a staggering '''9''' bomb rocks to take down. 


===''Pikmin 2''===
==''Pikmin''==
In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Yellow Pikmin can be found in [[The Forest of Hope]] inside a dormant [[Yellow Onion]]. In this first game, they are able to carry explosive [[bomb-rocks]], which can be used to defeat enemies or demolish [[gate]]s, and are required to demolish stone walls. Improper handling of bomb-rocks can result in accidental friendly fire, so caution is advised.


In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', one can find these pointy-eared Pikmin in the [[Perplexing Pool]] at the end of a long and twisted path sitting atop a tree. [[Red Pikmin]] are needed to defeat a [[Fiery Bulblax]], and [[White Pikmin]] are needed to demolish a Poison Bramble Gate. Yellow Pikmin are immune to [[electricity]], because on the close-up scene on ''Pikmin 2'' it shows that they radiate with static electricity, and the ship's static electricity sensors are off the hook. But the Yellow Pikmin no longer have the ability to carry Bomb Rocks. This may be explained by the rocks' increased size in ''Pikmin 2, ''making them impossible to carry''.''

In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', one can find these pointy-eared Pikmin in the Perplexing Pool at the end of a long and twisted path; White Pikmin are necessary just to reach them.

===''Pikmin 3''===
==''Pikmin 3''==
In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', players are able to discover Yellow Pikmin on their first day at the [[Distant Tundra]] when taking control of [[Brittany]]. As a new ability, Yellow Pikmin gained conductivity, which allows Yellow Pikmin to link up by holding hands, and pass electricity from a broken circuit. As a result, the object the wires were originally connected to gains power, and the Yellow Pikmin grow flowers on their heads. Yellow Pikmin also dig faster than other types of Pikmin and they make higher-pitched sounds when thrown in ''Pikmin 3''. Yellow Pikmin are also able to throw Bomb Rocks once again.
In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Yellow Pikmin still retain the immunity to electricity, and additionally have an ability to conduct electricity: they join hands near the ends of a wire, and the circuit starts up again and acts as a power source. Yellow Pikmin become flower Pikmin if at leaf or bud stage when completing a circuit in this way.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8lDE0NfJwg becoming flower Pikmin when conducting electricity (during the Yellow Pikmin footage)</ref> Furthermore, they regain the ability to carry bomb-rocks along with every other type of Pikmin, and use them to attack enemies and blow up walls. Yellow Pikmin can also dig faster than other types in ''Pikmin 3''.

Yellow Pikmin are first encountered by [[Charlie]], but flee when he faces the Vehemoth Phosbat. Later on, when [[Brittany]] falls out of the ship and into cave (which consequently separates her from [[Alph]]), she finds two Yellow Pikmin trying to complete a circuit. The player must [[pluck]] three buried Yellow Pikmin nearby to complete the circuit; upon doing so, the Yellow Onion is activated and flies up out of the ground.

Yellow Pikmin appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a trophy, and a kind of Pikmin [[Olimar]] can pull from the ground using his Pikmin Pluck special move. Yellow Pikmin, like in ''Pikmin 1'', ''Pikmin 2'', and ''Pikmin'' ''3'' are immune to electrical moves like Pikachu's Thunder or Forward Smash and can attack with electric properties. They can also be thrown higher than other Pikmin.

==Trivia==
*Originally, electricity was intended to be a hazard in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', however it was scrapped for an unknown reason. It was later introduced in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.
*Unlike in ''Pikmin,'' ''Pikmin 2'', and ''Pikmin 3'', they have normal throw height in Pikmin Adventure.
*In ''Pikmin'', there are unused textures found of all ranks of [[Red Pikmin|red]] and [[Blue Pikmin|blue]] Pikmin carrying [[Bomb Rock]]s. This was removed for some reason, and thus that ability was exclusive to yellow Pikmin. The universal ability to wield Bomb Rocks was later added in ''Pikmin 3''.[[File:Yellowhat.png|thumb|The Yellow Pikmin hat being worn.]]
*In the [[New Play Control!|New Play Control]] version of ''Pikmin'', Yellow Pikmin do not drop Bomb Rocks when whistled at like they can in the Gamecube version of the game.
*In the Streetpass Plaza for the 3DS, you can get a Yellow Pikmin hat by playing Find Mii.
*Yellow Pikmin are one of the three Pikmin types to have its own unique voice, the others being [[Rock Pikmin]] and [[Winged Pikmin]].

This page is part of the merge with Pikmin Wiki, and needs resolving. Please bear with us as we do so.

Before the import, this subject had a page both on Pikipedia and Pikmin Wiki. You are currently reading the Pikipedia version, and the Pikmin Wiki version can be found here. Both versions need to be manually merged together and placed on the current page.

Yellow Pikmin are the second type of Pikmin collected in Pikmin, the fourth type in Pikmin 2, and they're first found with Charlie in Pikmin 3. These Pikmin have what would appear to be large ears; these are the means by which they are primarily identifiable. It is not known, however, whether or not this actually aids their hearing. In every game the Yellow Pikmin can be thrown higher than other Pikmin due to their ears, which help them glide[1] however in Pikmin 3, Brittany says that its the Pikmin's lightweight body that allows them to be thrown higher. This is an ability which is needed to retrieve certain elevated ship parts, treasures and fruits. Additionally, Yellow Pikmin appear to like being in elevated places, such as trees.

Pikmin

In Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin can be found in The Forest of Hope inside a dormant Yellow Onion. In this first game, they are able to carry explosive bomb-rocks, which can be used to defeat enemies or demolish gates, and are required to demolish stone walls. Improper handling of bomb-rocks can result in accidental friendly fire, so caution is advised.

Pikmin 2

In Pikmin 2, one can find these pointy-eared Pikmin in the Perplexing Pool at the end of a long and twisted path; White Pikmin are necessary just to reach them. Yellow Pikmin are immune to electricity but no longer have the ability to carry bomb-rocks. This may be explained by the rocks' increased size in Pikmin 2.

Pikmin 3

In Pikmin 3, Yellow Pikmin still retain the immunity to electricity, and additionally have an ability to conduct electricity: they join hands near the ends of a wire, and the circuit starts up again and acts as a power source. Yellow Pikmin become flower Pikmin if at leaf or bud stage when completing a circuit in this way.[2] Furthermore, they regain the ability to carry bomb-rocks along with every other type of Pikmin, and use them to attack enemies and blow up walls. Yellow Pikmin can also dig faster than other types in Pikmin 3.

Yellow Pikmin are first encountered by Charlie, but flee when he faces the Vehemoth Phosbat. Later on, when Brittany falls out of the ship and into cave (which consequently separates her from Alph), she finds two Yellow Pikmin trying to complete a circuit. The player must pluck three buried Yellow Pikmin nearby to complete the circuit; upon doing so, the Yellow Onion is activated and flies up out of the ground.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Yellow Pikmin appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a trophy, and a kind of Pikmin Olimar can pull from the ground using his Pikmin Pluck special move. Yellow Pikmin, like in Pikmin 2, are immune to electrical moves like Pikachu's Thunder or Forward Smash and can attack with electric properties. They can also be thrown higher than other Pikmin.
