Bridge

Bridges are a common obstacles in the Pikmin series. They are found as a pile of wood on one side of a gap or body of water, which Pikmin can be set to work on. Doing so will cause the wood to be constructed into a bridge that spans the obstruction. In Pikmin 2, there is a bridge that is surrounded by poison, just like some gates. Naturally, only White Pikmin can approach it, but once a few segments have been built, the poison pipes may be destroyed, allowing other Pikmin to assist them in completing the bridge. Bridges appear above ground only.

A number of glitches are associated with bridges, generally involving Pikmin or enemies getting stuck in or under them.

In Fanon-Games
Bridges are like they were in Pikmin 2, but if they are built to far out, they will collapse.
