Mushroom Pikmin are Pikmin that have been transformed by the spores of a creature called a Puffstool. Affected Pikmin turn purple and try to attack Olimar and normal Pikmin. This effect wears off after a while.

A Pikmin is a little creature that comes in different colors. Each color of Pikmin has different abilities:

  • Red Pikmin are immune to fire and have higher attack power than the other Pikmin, excluding purple Pikmin. The distinct characteristic in red Pikmin is their nose. Red Pikmin are the first Pikmin that you find in the game.
  • Yellow Pikmin are light and can be thrown higher than other Pikmin. They are also immune to electricity in Pikmin 2, and can carry bombs in Pikmin. The distinct characteristic in yellow Pikmin is their ears.
  • Blue Pikmin can breath underwater. They can also rescue nearby drowning Pikmin. The distinct characteristic in blue pikmin is their mouth.
  • Purple Pikmin are ten times heavier and stronger than other Pikmin, so they count as ten Pikmin when lifting or deflating an object. They can also stun large enemies they are thrown onto, or even instantly kill smaller ones.
  • White Pikmin are smaller and quicker than other Pikmin, and can see buried treasure with their huge, red, beady eyes. White Pikmin are also immune to poison, and will poison any creature that eats them.

Captain Olimar crashes onto the "Distant Planet" and stumbles upon these creatures, and the Pikmin are willing to obey his commands.Pikmin can reproduce by converting food and fallen foes into more Pikmin. They are preyed upon by night creatures, however, and must be returned safely before night comes. Red, blue, and yellow Pikmin sleep in a flying device called an "Onion" (It looks like an onion with 3 legs) that they can be protected in. Purple and White Pikmin sleep in the ship, and are only created when other colors of Pikmin are thrown into underground Candypop flowers of their color.

It is explained that Olimar, while cruising through space, is eating his favorite soup with red, blue, and yellow onions and "pikpik carrots." There is no way of knowing if this is related to the Pikmin; however, Olimar names them after his beloved carrots.

A Rock Pikmin is a subspecies of Pikmin introduced in Pikmin 3. They have asymmetric bodies as hard as rocks, are slower than average for Pikmin, deal extra damage when thrown at an enemy, are capable of breaking crystal, and are incapable of latching onto enemies aside from the Shaggy Long Legs. The player can obtain Rock Pikmin starting on the second day of gameplay, in a cave in the Garden of Hope.

Pikmin is a game made by Nintendo where you, Captain Olimar, land on a deserted planet. You must find all of your ship parts using the help from creatures called Pikmin.

What Mushroom Pikmin glitches are in Pikmin?

There are two main Mushroom Pikmin glitches:If Pikmin happen to be knocked down as soon as the Puffstool's spores hit them, they will turn into Mushroom Pikmin but will still attack the Puffstool. They cannot be called back and may turn into regular Mushroom Pikmin.If you can call Pikmin the exact moment when they are hit with the Puffstool's spores, they will turn into Mushroom Pikmin but will be completely under your control. These Pikmin will still attack normal Pikmin.


How do you get Pikmin to carry you in Pikmin for Gamecube?

You have to leave Pikmin idle by a Puffstool and call them at the exact moment they are hit by the Puffstool's spores. This requires perfect timing. Be careful, as Mushroom Pikmin will attack any other kinds of Pikmin.


How do you get the purple pikmin in pikmin 1?

The easiest way to get white and purple Pikmin is to go into easy caves, find the Candypop Buds and transform Pikmin, then get out. Keep in mind that Candypop Buds do not reappear in the same day after leaving a cavern. Emergence Cave in the Valley of Repose is best for purple Pikmin, and the White Flower Garden in the Awakening Wood is best for whites. Relatively easy caverns that can be used to get white and purple Pikmin are the Snagret Hole in the Valley of Repose and the Citadel of Spiders in the Perplexing Pool.

How do you get more Yellow Pikmin in Pikmin 2 after running out?

In the first game, the yellow Onion is in the second area, the Forest of Hope. Take enough Red Pikmin to defeat the Bulborb north of where you start out. Then, knock down the wall and kill the Bulborbs, dismiss the red Pikmin, and go north. You should see a darkish yellow colored Onion in the ground. Approach it, and it will turn bright yellow and rise out of the ground, and produce a single Yellow Pikmin sprout which you can then multiply. In the second game, the yellow Onion is visible immediately upon entering the third area, the Perplexing Pool, along with a few wild Yellow Pikmin. You will need Red and White Pikmin to reach them. First, head around the side of the stump where you see the Onion, where you'll find a scale puzzle. Once you get passed that, you'll see that the only way to where the Onion is has a wall raised with poison generators beneath it, and a Fiery Bulblax blocking the way to that wall. Use your Red Pikmin to kill it, and then use your White Pikmin to break down the gate and disable the poison generators. After that, all you'll need to do is whistle the wild Yellows. In the third game, Brittany finds the yellow Onion immediately upon entering the third area, the Distant Tundra. She'll wind up in a cave where she'll find two Yellow Pikmin trying to light a light bulb, and three Pikmin sprouts in the ground. With all five, the light bulb will light, and the Onion will bloom and rise from the ground. Within the cave, there are enough pellets to generate twenty more Yellow Pikmin, for a maximum total of 25; you will need at least twenty to open the way out of the cave.

What kinds of Pikmin will be in Pikmin 3?

All five original pikmin have been confirmed by Mr. Miyamoto. In addition, as you have probably already seen,, are the rock pikmin. These, despite what people have been saying, are not like purple pikmin at all. Really the only similarity is they give a little umph when landing on an enemy, and even then, they attack by repeatedly throwing themselves at the enemy instead of latching on, and don't have the possibility of making the enemy dizzy, like the purple. A flying pink pikmin with blue eyes can be seen in the trailer for a brief moment at the beginning and end. It doesn't really give you a clear view, though. When confronted about it, Nintendo said they couldn't confirm nor deny the pink pikmin. They did, however, confirm that new unannounced pikmin would be seen later in the game.
