To do: The information in the synopsis might need cleaned up, because Hey! Pikmin.

This article relates to the official games. See Pikipedia's "bridge" article for more official information.

For other types of bridges, see bridge.

A fragment bridge is a type of bridge made entirely of varying numbers of ceramic fragments or glass shards. To build a bridge, Pikmin must carry fragments over to it, which they then put into place. The fragments themselves are typically clustered together in one or more piles of a matching color corresponding to the bridge they are used to construct, though they can also be encased in crystal or unearthed from dirt mounds, or used to construct something such as a platform rather than the usual bridge. Once all fragments are delivered, the bridge or platform is completed. Some fragments bridges may be already partially or fully completed by the time they're encountered. Because these bridges are made of a hard material, enemies can not destroy them as they can wooden bridges.

In Pikmin 3, unfinished bridges slant slightly upwards, and leaders can not cross past the last row of fragments. Also, fragment bridges fall into place when completed, which can knock leaders over if they are standing too close, but leaders on the bridge proper will not be knocked down.

In Pikmin 4, fragment bridges are constructed with pieces of clay, converted from raw material, rather than generic fragments.

In Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs

Breadbugs are invading!
This article or section presents information pertaining to Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs, a fanon game created by Cheepy-Cheepy.

Fragment bridges appear in Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs. Piles of fragments used to build them can occasionally be found in the Land of Wonders, specifically the Marsh Territory and the Arctic Territory. As bridges are made of fragments, enemies are unable to destroy them.

In Pikmin: Decayed Leaf

"You… your evil subordinate, your greedy boss, and this invasive Pikmin infestation will all die here TODAY!!"
This article or section presents information pertaining to Pikmin: Decayed Leaf, a fanon game created by Soundwave.

Fragment bridges are a returning obstacle in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf as one of the two bridge types. The fragment bridge starts out unbuilt, and the only way to build the bridge is to find the large pile of bridge pieces linked to the bridge. There may be multiple piles of bridge pieces specific to said bridge. Pikmin must pick up and deliver the fragments to the bridge, throwing them on, to slowly construct it. Sometimes, enemies or hazards may be found guarding bridge fragments.

In Pikmin: Infection in Progress

Pikmin: Infection in Progress
This article or section presents information pertaining to Pikmin: Infection in Progress, a fanon game created by Cheepy-Cheepy.

Fragment bridges appear in Pikmin: Infection in Progress, and are found primarily at Fungal Grotto, Noxious Expanse, Polluted Creek, Toxic Barrens, and the Withering Terrace. They are used to cross and scale ledges in Fungal Grotto, as well as cross streams and rivers of polluted water found throughout every outdoor area.

In Pikmin: Legend of the Treasure

Pikmin: Legend of the Treasure
This article or section presents information pertaining to Pikmin: Legend of the Treasure, a fanon game created by BreadbugHere.

Fragment bridges appear in Pikmin: Legend of the Treasure. They are assembled using pieces of dried mud, wood, clay, or flat rocks using an adhesive of sorts. Some enemies can disassemble bridges using their jaw. The required adhesive can be obtained by Gooey Laxbulbs, enemies, or from pipes.

In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers

Shipwrecked Stargazers
This article or section presents information pertaining to Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers, a fanon game created by CarrotStilts1.

Fragment bridges in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers can be blue, red, cream, or gray, and can now appear underground, in caves. Of particular note is a bridge in Creature's Quay that spans to the abandoned shipwreck, and the entrance to Spelunker's Locker.

+A '''fragment bridge''' is a type of [[bridge]] made entirely of varying numbers of ceramic fragments or glass shards. To build a bridge, Pikmin must carry fragments over to it, which they then put into place. The fragments themselves are typically clustered together in one or more piles of a matching color corresponding to the bridge they are used to construct, though they can also be encased in [[crystal]] or unearthed from [[dirt mound]]s, or used to construct something such as a platform rather than the usual bridge. Once all fragments are delivered, the bridge or platform is completed. Some fragments bridges may be already partially or fully completed by the time they're encountered. Because these bridges are made of a hard material, enemies can not destroy them as they can wooden bridges.
-Some bridges, aptly named fragment bridges, are made entirely of [[#Fragment|fragments]] of various objects as opposed to wood. These fragments are mostly of ceramic objects, but can also be shards from objects such as glasses. Fragment bridges are made from varying numbers of fragments and come in several different colors, with some bridges already being partially or fully built when they are encountered. Depending on the bridge, it may or may not be possible to throw Pikmin and leaders from the unfinished bridge to search for the bridge's remaining fragments on the other side. To build a fragment bridge, Pikmin must carry fragments over to it, which they then put into place. Once all fragments are delivered, the bridge is completed. Because these bridges are made of a hard material, enemies cannot destroy them as they can wooden bridges.
+In {{p3}}, unfinished bridges slant slightly upwards, and leaders can not cross past the last row of fragments. Also, fragment bridges fall into place when completed, which can knock leaders over if they are standing too close, but leaders on the bridge proper will not be knocked down.
-Unfinished fragment bridges are usually slanted slightly upwards, but lower into place when completed. This can knock leaders and Pikmin over if they are standing too close, but those on the fragment bridge itself will not be knocked down.

-Fragments are tiles of broken ceramic or glass objects that are used mainly to build fragment bridges but can be used to construct other objects. Fragments are clustered together in piles, and the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] will carry them to the bridge of the corresponding fragment color. Because each bridge has its own color, fragments from one color cannot be used to build a bridge of a different one. Each bridge can have one or more piles of fragments. Fragments are also occasionally buried in [[dirt mound]]s or encased inside [[crystal]]s. Additionally, fragments can be used to reconstruct other objects such as broken plant pots, which can be used as a platform. Many of the fragments come from nearby broken pots, cups, glasses, and other modern-day objects.

-Pikmin will automatically return to the pile of fragments they were assigned to and take another piece from it if there are any left. They will return to the pile's location even if there aren't any fragments remaining. If a Pikmin carrying a fragment is whistled to, it will simply drop the fragment and join the group of the leader who called it over.

Piles of fragments used to build them can occasionally be found in the [[Land of Wonders]], specifically the [[Land of Wonders|Marsh Territory]] and the [[Land of Wonders|Arctic Territory]]. Bridges are used to cross bodies of [[water]] and [[Water|cold water]], respectively. As bridges are made of fragments, enemies are unable to destroy them.
