Kingcaps are a type of fungus that serve as obstacles. They usually block paths, often accompanied by Spotcaps. Kingcaps are durable, and unlike the smaller Spotcaps, Pikmin can latch on to a Kingcap to attack it.
In Pikmin Bloom, Kingcaps, as well as Spotcaps, are the focus of mushroom challenges. In addition to having several different colors of caps, both types of fungus have variants engulfed in fire, water, and crystal.

Kingcaps appear in Pikmin: Infection in Progress. They are rare at Polluted Creek, Noxious Expanse, Toxic Barrens, and Withering Terrace, but much more frequent at Fungal Grotto. Due to the plague spreading across the Distant Planet, mushrooms have spread immensely, especially underground. Destroying a Kingcap makes it tip in a predetermined direction before falling over, quickly decaying into nothingness afterward.

Kingcaps in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers are stated to be the fully-matured form of Spotcaps in this game. Functionally, they're the same as those in Pikmin 3.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “Spotcaps can grow to incredible sizes as they mature. Once they reach at least forty years of age, they reach a size so massive that their stems begin to split from the intense growth. These particular organisms are unable to propagate at this age, which can only be done around the twenty to thirty-five age range. Spotcaps of this size are usually called Kingcaps.”
Louie's notes
- “The cap has a sharp umami flavor, and a texture akin to a fine Chesire. Spread crumbs of it in your next casserole dish for the best results.”
