Laser barrier

A laser barrier is an obstacle that either vaporizes Pikmin that touch it or prevents Pikmin types that are or aren't the color of the lasers from passing through. As they are mechanisms, they can typically be disabled.

In Pikmin 2... Again?
Laser barrier is an obstacle in Pikmin 2... Again?. There are two types, but both are laser projectors featuring the icon of the Pikmin type the laser beam's color represents. The first type, which has a green checkmark on it, only allows Pikmin of a particular species through, while the second type, which has an "X" on it, does not accept Pikmin of a particular species. Any Pikmin a laser barrier does not allow through will become idle. Laser barriers are normally used as part of puzzles to restrict access to a location from certain types, and can be disabled by pressing a button usually located near the puzzle's reward.
