Electric gate

Electric gates are gates that carry electrical currents. As such, Pikmin that are not Yellow Pikmin can not touch them, lest they risk dying or becoming temporarily paralyzed. In, electric gates resemble a fence made of metal and sink to the ground as they take damage. In, they are made of four fluorescent lamps laid horizontally on top of one another, with each lamp breaking down and becoming harmless at each stage of destruction, and when the gate is finally opened, all of its lamps harmlessly explode. Also in Pikmin 3, some electric gates feature drawings on the pillars on either side.

In Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs
Electric gates appear in Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs, at the Land of Wonders, and appear as they did in. Four are present within the Spark Territory, one of which blocks the exit of the territory, and one is found in the Marsh Territory, guarding the Blue Onion.

In Pikmin: The Winds of Light
Electric gates appear in Pikmin: The Winds of Light, and have their and  appearances, respectively named the electric fence and electric wall. The electric fence sinks into the ground as it is damaged and kills any Pikmin, except Yellow Pikmin, that touch it, and the electric wall becomes visibly destroyed as it is damaged and merely temporarily paralyzes all Pikmin that are not Yellow Pikmin.
