Red Pikmin

Red Pikmin are Pikmin that were the first ones discovered by Captain Olimar. They are the only Pikmin (In canon Pikmin games) that are immune to fire, other than Bulbmin, and are in all three Pikmin games. They have a large, pointy nose that appears to be the reason behind their larger-than-average attack power. The reason behind its flame immunity is a mystery, though some theories have been made about it, including a flame retardant chemical in their skin.

Pikmin Kart
In Pikmin Kart, Red Pikmin is an item that is found in item boxes commonly. You can throw them in front of your kart and they'll hitch onto a random kart in their range. They'll slow the kart they hitched onto more than the average Pikmin, and the driver of the Kart has to swerver wildly to shake them off. They also won't fall off if the driver drives into a fire geyser. As with all Pikmin items, the Whistle item can protect a player from Pikmin attacks and steal them for himself, so be careful who you throw them at!
