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.

This is useful if they are losing a fight or need to hurry at the end of a day. However, if Pikmin sprayed with a spicy spray start to drown, they die much more quickly than normal (within four seconds). The spray normally wears off after forty seconds.

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 for approximately nine seconds; this should be enough time anyway for the enemy to be killed or severely weakened. There is a disadvantage, however: the enemy will crumble when killed without leaving behind a carcass to give you more Pikmin(making it perfect for Bulbears & Gattling Grionks,)and will instead drop nectar or sprays

Both types of sprays can be made by bringing ten of the berry needed to [[Captain Olimar|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 one Olimar and Louie finds resting on the ground counts as one full spray. Spray Drops can be found by defeating [[Unmarked Spectralid]]s, [[Mitite]]s, [[Honeywisp]]s, and the [[Secret Insects at the Wistful Wild]]. They can also be found in [[egg]]s. Olimar and Louie can get two sprays in one drop by doing one of these strategies; dismissing their Pikmin and going near the drop, but not touching it. Then switch to the other leader and run towards the drop. Right before the leader touches the drop, switch leader. The previous leader will start obtaining the drop if you did it right. Go to the drop with your current leader before the drop is gone. Both leaders then obtain the drop, giving them two doses. Another easier way is to put a leader near the drop. Then, switch a leader, and go to the inactive leader. Then, simply push the other leader into the drop, and he obtains the drop.

A spray is an item in the Pikmin games, discovered by Captain Olimar in Pikmin 2. They can be collected and used at any time, each with a different beneficial effect. There are two known types of spray, Ultra-spicy and Ultra-bitter.

Ultra-spicy spray

Main article: Ultra-spicy spray.

This is obtained from red berries and is to be used on Pikmin. It has the effect of temporarily enhancing their strength and speed, and their leaves, buds or flowers glow red. This makes Pikmin more effective at fighting, building, destroying and carrying for the 40 seconds it lasts.

Ultra-bitter spray

Main article: Ultra-bitter spray.

This is obtained from purple berries. It affects enemies and not Pikmin (excluding 2-Player Mode). When used, it encases any enemies in the path of the spray in stone for approximately 9 seconds; this is often enough time to kill or severely weakened the beast. If an enemy is killed while still petrified, it crumbles without leaving behind a carcass to produce more Pikmin, instead dropping nectar or sprays.

Obtaining sprays

In Pikmin 2, it is revealed that a species of plant called the Burgeoning Spiderwort produces berries that can be used to the captains' advantage. Both types of sprays can be made by returning 10 of the correct color of these berries to the ship, which then creates a spray from them. The two known berry colors, purple and red, produce the two kinds of sprays.

Sprays can also be found wherever nectar is, in the form of red or purple concentrated drops, each of which counts as one full spray. These drops can be found by breaking eggs, defeating petrified enemies, fighting Doodlebugs, Iridescent Glint Beetles and Iridescent Flint Beetles, squishing the secret Wistful Wild bugs, or defeating red Unmarked Spectralids or any petrified enemy.

Interference

When a captain is hit by an enemy, bomb rock or something else while absorbing a concentrated dose of spray, he stops absorbing it, and it shrinks and disappears. Worst, the spray does not get collected, so it important to be careful when trying to get a spray.

Techniques

There exist techniques to collect sprays more efficiently by abusing the game's mechanics:

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 did what the current sprays do now.
