Gate

Gates, also called walls, are obstacles that block paths to other locations. They are found in a number of different forms, which require different strategies to overcome. In general, they can be destroyed by Pikmin, either directly or indirectly. As time passes, a gate that is being destroyed becomes weaker in distinct stages, before finally being taken down. The length of time it takes to demolish a gate depends on its type, and the number and types of Pikmin working on it. Some gates require specific Pikmin types or tools to overcome.
