A spray is an object in the Pikmin games. It was found out in Pikmin 2 that one of the new plant species, dubbed the Burgeoning Spiderwort, can grow berries that have special compositions that can be used to your advantage, which is where sprays then come in. There are two kinds of sprays, both described here.

An Ultra-Bitter exhibiting a blue colour.

Sprays may look differently coloured under the varied lighting conditions of the game's caves. In particular, Spicy sprays appear orange and Bitter sprays blue.

Ultra-spicy spray

Main article: Ultra-spicy spray.

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 glow red. This is useful if they are losing a fight or need to hurry at the end of a day. However, if non-blue pikmin sprayed with spicy spray start to drown, they die much more quickly than normal (within about 2-4 seconds). The spray wears off in about a few minutes.

Ultra-bitter spray

Main article: Ultra-bitter spray.

Obtained from the purple berries. This spray doesn't affect Pikmin (excluding 2-Player Mode), but is rather intended on enemies. When used, it will turn any enemies in the path of the spray into stone. It will last for several seconds (approximatyely 10 or more), but should be enough time anyway for the enemy to be killed, or weakened for that matter. There is a disadvantage, however, as the enemy will crumble when killed without a carcass to give you more Pikmin, but will leave behind nectar or sprays.

Obtaining sprays

Both types of sprays can be made by bringing 10 of the berry needed to 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 dose you find resting on the ground counts as one full spray. Spray drops can be found by defeating Unmarked Spectralids, Mitites, Honeywisps, and the Secret Insects at the Wistful Wild. They can also be found in eggs.

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 truly did what the current sprays do now.
