Earth

This article or section is currently under construction and being worked on by its creator. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

For the planet many of the canonical and fan-made Pikmin games take place on, see PNF-404.

Earth is a hazard that appears in fan-made Pikmin games. It has a variety of forms, and a variety of effects, which are usually lethal, although some are entirely harmless. Brown Pikmin and Tan Pikmin are only two examples of Pikmin that are resistant to earth hazards. Crystal is not harmful on its own, and can be destroyed using Rock Pikmin, although crystal nodules may be weaponized by some enemies. Clouds of dirt or sand are some of the most common forms of the hazard of earth, and they choke any inapt Pikmin that walk into them. The end of their stem will be engulfed by it, and they will collapse and perish if not whistled in time. Boulders are large rocks that are utilized by enemies to crush Pikmin, but they may also fall from the ceilings of some caves for a variety of reasons. Additionally, in some games, boulders may be found sitting around, out in the open. Mud is usually not dangerous, only slowing Pikmin and leaders that touch it or tread through it, although in some games it may threaten the lives of Pikmin that make contact with it. Quicksand is somewhat similar to mud, slowing down anything that walks into it but also pulling them downwards, sealing their fate if they are not quick to escape. Lastly, shockwaves knock back Pikmin and leaders, and depending on the game, may stun them or deflower Pikmin.

In Pikmin: Wide World

"It's a jungle out there!" This article or section presents information pertaining to Pikmin: Wide World, a fanon game created by Cheepy-Cheepy.

Earth in Pikmin: Wide World is a hazard that applies mostly to obstacles, rather than enemies. No particular Pikmin type is resistant to earth, but Rock Pikmin and Purple Pikmin have notable usefulness in taking care of earth-related enemies and obstacles. Earth is seen in several forms, which are dirt, sand, crystal, and mud. While many enemies exhibit the ability to burrow into or out of the ground, only a few actually utilize earth to defend themselves.
