A Blue Pikmin in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Blue Pikmin are distinguishable from other Pikmin by their pink gills, resembling a mouth. Producing more can be done by returning objects to the Blue Onion or using Lapis Lazuli Candypop Buds.

They and Bulbmin only are able to safely traverse watery areas; any other color will only flail around in panic before drowning. They are able to perform any action in water that they can on land. 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. 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".

Blue Pikmin are the last color of Pikmin discovered in both games. In Pikmin, their Onion is found in the Forest Navel, and in Pikmin 2, 5 blues can be found near their Onion in Awakening Wood by the use of Yellow Pikmin. Yellow Pikmin are required to break down the electric fence: throw them up onto the ledge from, then run around, through the water, to whistle them. There is a Cloaking Burrow-nit buried there that must be defeated. Blue Pikmin seem to be well-balanced in strength, mobility, and throw.

Blue Pikmin are statistically more likely to be eaten by an enemy than any other type. From this, it might be concluded that their color is the most attractive to beasts, that they are in some way the tastiest, or that they cannot evade being eaten as well as other Pikmin. However it could also be due to the fact that when in formation they stand behind the white pikmin who, being faster, stay directly behind the Captains. As such this places Blue Pikmin directly within reach of enemy attacks particuarly when whites are too close and the other colours are too far back.
