Bridges are common obstacles in the Pikmin series that appear above ground only. They are found as a pile of wood on one side of a gap or body of water, which Pikmin can be set to work on. Doing so will cause them to construct the wood into a bridge that spans the obstruction. When being worked on, the bridge grows in chunks at intervals, with a cloud of dust. Cloaking Burrow-nits and members of the Mandiblard family chew apart stick bridges and roll them back into piles.
In Pikmin 2, there is a bridge that is surrounded by poison, just like some gates. Naturally, only White Pikmin can approach it, but once a few segments have been built, the poison pipes may be destroyed, allowing other Pikmin to assist them in completing the bridge.
A number of glitches are associated with bridges, generally involving Pikmin or enemies getting stuck in or under them.
