Ultra-spicy spray is a red-colored spray that can be obtained by gathering ten ultra-spicy berries from a Burgeoning Spiderwort plant, or finding a concentrated dose. When used, any Pikmin in the party will become more efficient at their tasks, and in Pikmin 3, bloomed into the flower stage as well.
Use
By pressing Paddown / 
in Pikmin 2, or Padup / Padup / PCPadup (or by tapping the "Spray" button on the GamePad) in Pikmin 3, any Pikmin following the current leader's party, regardless of distance, will be powered up; Pikmin not in the party will not be affected. In Pikmin 2, their leaf, bud, or flower will be replaced with a pink flashing light, similar to the one over Olimar's head. In Pikmin 3, they will be instantly upgraded from a leaf or bud into a flower, which will then glow orange, and will also have a pink glow over their entire bodies.
Each Pikmin's maximum speed becomes almost as fast as flowered White Pikmin, and the affected Pikmin gain a general increase in task speed, which affects their attack frequency, their efficiency when taking down gates, constructing bridges, and recovering from enemy attacks. After 40 seconds in Pikmin 2 and 30 seconds in Pikmin 3, all effects wear off. While the spray's effect can be extremely useful in many situations, caution should be observed, as drowning Pikmin sprayed with an ultra-spicy spray will actually die more quickly than unsprayed Pikmin. In Pikmin 2, burning and suffocating Pikmin will also perish sooner, but in the sequel, there is no difference for burning spicy Pikmin.
Pikmin carrying objects have their attributes changed in a different way. All Pikmin become the same speed as a standard-colored flower Pikmin (i.e. Red, Yellow or Blue). If the effects of the spray wear off while the Pikmin are carrying the object, they will continue carrying at the same speed as if they were powered up, until they deliver the object or drop it. This makes this exploit particularly useful when retrieving he Doomsday Apparatus. In Pikmin 3, because the Pikmin are actually upgraded to the flower stage, this exploit does not exist.
If the spray button is pressed while there are no Pikmin in the current leader's party, nothing will happen, and no spray will be deducted from the total. If Pikmin are told to go inside an Onion, they will lose their spicy status.
Technically, any Pikmin type's attack power is changed to 10 (in both games), and their attack and obstacle-clearing speed increases to around 180%. This means that Red, Purple, and Rock Pikmin experience a decrease in power, while Winged Pikmin benefit from being sprayed, as well as White Pikmin in Pikmin 3.
