Minor obstacles

There are many obstacles in the Pikmin series. This page lists the ones that are more rare and less notable. Because they are rarely acknowledged by the games, their names are usually conjectural.

Spiked pine cones are obstacles found in Hey! Pikmin only. They are pine cones that resemble huge boulders covered with spikes. They roll around in the hallways that contain them, crushing anything in their way. They can kill any Pikmin they touch and harm Captain Olimar. Because there's no way to destroy them, the player has to be wary of them and try not to get caught by surprise. Some appear continuously from one point, fall down through the whole path, and disappear when they reach the bottom, while others roll back and forth in a confined space, never losing their momentum.

Locations

Spiked pine cones are found in one area only: the Terror Trench, which is the third main area of the Sweltering Parchlands.
