Red Pikmin have numerous traits that separate them from the massive crowd of Pikmin types. Their main trait is their resistance to fire. Unlike most Pikmin, which will get burned and killed by fire, the Red Pikmin can survive almost all types of flames from enemies like the Fiery Blowhog, Pinkeye, or Fire-Spouting Forcet. However, the only fire that Red Pikmin cannot survive in the extremely destructive blue fire emitted by the Pyro Phoenix in the second phase of their boss fight. Although Rubber Pikmin are also immune to fire and can reflect it, the Red Pikmin is immune to lava; which the Rubber Pikmin is not immune to. Lava can be found in pools, or used by the sizzling floor hazard. Red Pikmin can also carry fire starters; which can be used to melt hydro jellies, ice walls or ice blockades. Red Pikmin also do double the damage of most Pikmin; making them great fighters for tougher enemies.

In Pikmin Kart
In Pikmin Kart, Red Pikmin are items commonly found from item boxes. After being thrown or dropped, a Red Pikmin will attempt to affix itself to the closest kart in its range, slowing that kart more than other Pikmin would. Because Red Pikmin won't detach from a kart that drives through a fire geyser or other fire source, exposing them to other hazards or swerving wildly are the only ways to force them off. As with all Pikmin items, the Whistle item not only protects a kart from Pikmin attacks but also allows the Whistle's user to take a Pikmin item for themselves to use.
