Ice gate

The Ice gate is an obstacle that can be found in different areas; mainly in frigid areas. The ice gate looks just like an electrical gate, although it is blue in color. The large tubes in the middle of the gate wire up and down; emitting an extreme cold that can freeze any Pikmin type but Ice Pikmin. The only Pikmin who can damage an ice gate is Ice Pikmin, but bomb rocks can also destroy an ice gate as well.

In Pikmin X: Deep Freeze
Ice blockades are a type of barrier in Pikmin X: Deep Freeze that appear only in the Woods of Occlusion and the Crater. These chunks of ice resemble crystal, but are so cold that the area surrounding them is white with frost. Pikmin will freeze upon getting too close, and they are also too sturdy for even Moss Pikmin to demolish. To destroy an ice blockade, a Pikmin has to deploy a wickweed bud next to it. The flames from the wickweed melt the ice blockade and free the way.
