The names for all obstacles described in this article are unofficial.

To do: Document the timings for how long each type of hazard generator spends on and off, and also the warning they give before turning on.
Care to do so?

Hazard generators are obstacles in the Pikmin games that periodically emit a hazard. Their functionality varies by game and by hazard, but they are all located on the ground in specific locations of areas or caves. Using the right type of Pikmin that are resistant to the hazard, or destroying the obstacle to make it stop emitting the hazard (where possible), are necessary to safely transport items over them.

Fire geyser

A fire geyser.
A fire geyser near Olimar in Pikmin 2.

Fire geysers spit out a column of fire at regular intervals. In Pikmin and Pikmin 3, they are impossible to destroy, while in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4, they can be attacked and destroyed with Pikmin. Any Pikmin type can attack a fire geyser when it's not burning, but only fire-resistant types can attack one when it is. In Pikmin, they deal a lot of damage to Olimar, which makes them quite a dangerous obstacle. In Pikmin 3, fire geysers are not visible when not spitting fire, and in Pikmin 4, their effect has a larger radius than in any other game, with fire sent out in all directions rather than just vertically. Hey! Pikmin also has fire geysers in the Ordeal of Flame area, which are very large and indestructible, and can be found on ceilings as well as floors.

Hey! Pikmin

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Hey! Pikmin.
Particularly: Add numbers.

Water spout

Water spouts periodically send out a column of water. This water is hazardous to types not resistant to it, unlike the water in geysers in the first 3 games, which is in a more turbulent form and helps leaders reach higher places. These obstacles only appear in Pikmin 4, where helpful geysers instead use air. The water shoots into the air in a vertical column, then falls around it in a small radius and disappears, and this radius around the spout (which is darker than the surrounding area of floor) is the hazardous range when the spout is sending out water. Any Pikmin type can damage a water spout when it is not sending out water.

Locations

Pikmin 4

Electricity generator

Electricity generators periodically discharge large sparks of electricity around them. They appear in Pikmin 4 only, though similar obstacles exist in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3 as electrical wires and electrodes respectively. The electricity is emitted in a fairly wide radius around the obstacle, which is a small metal object with 3 rods pointing into the air, and will stun and eventually kill Pikmin who are not resistant to it. They can be attacked by any Pikmin type when not emitting electricity, and can only be attacked by Yellow Pikmin (or Glow Pikmin) when they are emitting electricity.

Pikmin 4

Poison emitter

Poison emitters emit poison in a gaseous form. These are unique among hazard generators in that they emit their hazard continuously, rather than turning on and off periodically. This means that only White Pikmin (plus Bulbmin and Glow Pikmin) can destroy them or go through them before they are destroyed. In Pikmin 2, these obstacles take the appearance of orange pipes emitting red-purple poison gas, and are commonly found inside bridges or bramble gates, which means that only White Pikmin can build these bridges or destroy these gates before they can destroy the poison emitter. The pipe stays around even after being destroyed, but no longer emits poison. In Pikmin 4, they look like brown rock-like structures with holes emitting turquoise poison gas, and are only found standalone.

Pikmin 4

Ice vent

Ice vents produce icy air that freezes Pikmin around it. (This is not the same as cold air.) They look like shards of ice sticking out from the ground, and appear in Pikmin 4 only. Only Ice Pikmin (and Glow Pikmin) can destroy these when they're producing icy air, but any type can destroy them when they're not.

Locations

Pikmin 4

Bubble blower

Bubble blowers occasionally produce a large number of bubbles in various directions, which can trap Pikmin for a period of time until they pop. Ice Pikmin freeze the bubbles and make them pop almost instantly. Purple Pikmin also pop the bubbles almost instantly with their weight. The bubbles can be popped by throwing Pikmin at them as they come out, but this still leaves a risk of Pikmin getting caught by the bubbles. They can be attacked by any Pikmin type and cannot kill Pikmin, unless the bubble pops while over a hazard that the Pikmin is not resistant to. They only appear in Pikmin 4.

Trivia

  • Fire geysers can awaken sleeping enemies, such as Red Bulborbs or Fiery Bulblaxes. This can be observed in sublevel 5 of the Dream Den.
  • Fire geysers can be punched by leaders in Pikmin 3, even though it does nothing.
  • Poison emitters in overground areas in Pikmin 2 will respawn 99 days after being deactivated.
