Bridge
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.
In Pikmin 3, bridges are made of Fragments, rather than wood as in the previous games. Bridges range from being made of 15 Fragments to 80 Fragments, and come in several different colors. Some bridges have multiple piles of Fragments. When building a bridge, Fragments will be carried to the unfinished bridge, then put into place. Once all Fragments are delivered, the bridge is completed. The Fragments gives bridges a distinct ceramic look. As they are made of Fragments, enemies cannot destroy bridges.
A number of glitches are associated with bridges, generally involving Pikmin or enemies getting stuck in or under them.
