Ice blockade

Ice blockades are a type of barrier in Pikmin X: Deep Freeze. These chunks of ice resemble crystal, but are so cold that the area surrounding them is white with frost. Pikmin will freeze upon getting too close, and they are also too sturdy for Moss Pikmin to demolish. To destroy an ice blockade, a Pikmin has to deploy a wickweed bud next to it. The flames from the wickweed melt the ice blockade and free the way. These only appear in the Woods of Occlusion and The Crater.
