In Pikmin: Gold/Silver/Bronze
In Pikmin: Gold/Silver/Bronze, the Bronze Pikmin is the initial stage of a Gold Pikmin's life cycle, with Silver Pikmin being the middle stage. Its body is metallic brown and its leaf is green. Despite having an Onion, Bronze Pikmin can be obtained only by mining for them in the Cave of Origin, which can be done only with Bronze Pikmin and Silver Pikmin, or by throwing Silver Pikmin or Gold Pikmin into a Shiny Candypop Bud. Comically, Bronze Pikmin mine by rapidly spinning their leaf like a drill, an ability that also can be used to penetrate weak walls. Bronze Pikmin sink in water, and share the same Onion, which is ruby-colored and outlined in gold and seems to fly higher than other Onions, with Silver Pikmin and Gold Pikmin.

In Pikmin: The Return

Bronze Pikmin are twice as damaging and fast as other Pikmin types but develop half as quickly and have no resistances. It also has a nose, much like that of a Red Pikmin, and the center of its white-petaled flower glows pink and is believed to be the source of the Bronze Pikmin's energy.
