A Blue Pikmin in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Blue Pikmin are the last color of Pikmin that you get in both games. In Pikmin, you find them in the Forest Navel, and in Pikmin 2, you find them in the Awakening Wood after you get Yellow pikmin. Blue Pikmin have gills, (the "mouths") allowing them to adapt to aquatic environments. Blue Pikmin and Bulbmin are the only Pikmin that can go in water; any other color will only flail around in panic before drowning. They can walk, fight, and carry items in water. If they are idle and see a fellow Pikmin drowning in water, they will quickly run to them, pick them up, and throw them to shore. It is beneficial to have many Blue Pikmin as walking through water can often be a shortcut around the location. Blue Pikmin are needed more in the later caves of the game. As there are often levels with water, and most types of Pikmin are needed, it could happen that a non-blue falls into the puddle. However, be sure to know when to call the Pikmin, and when to let the blues go for them; often whistling to them will suffice, but if they fell off a ledge, then the Blues will carry them to the other, more shallow shore, which might be too far away for the drowning Pikmin to "swim".
