Bubble

This article relates to the official games. See Pikipedia's "Hazard" article for more official information.

Bubbles are a hazard that appear in the Pikmin series. After being blown, they gently rise into the air, eventually popping if they last long enough. Pikmin and leaders can become trapped inside of them, but they both can be freed if the bubble is made to pop or pops on its own. A trapped leader can also struggle to cause the bubble to pop prematurely. Winged Pikmin can pop bubbles most easily because of their ability to fly.

In fanon games, bubbles can be filled with a fluid such as water or be made of a substance such as oil.

The following is a small sample list of sources bubbles originate from:

• File:Aqua Cannon Beetle Larva icon.png Aqua Cannon Beetle Larva – spits out large, water-filled bubbles.
•  Bubble-Blowing Blowhog – releases a stream of bubbles from its trunk.
•  Foamback Gnashlot – scatters bubbles around when it shakes attackers off of itself.
•  Peckish Aristocrab – blows bubbles as a defensive measure once its pincer is destroyed.
•  Waddlepus – releases large quantities of bubbles to ward off attackers.

In fanon games

In Pikmin: Wide World

"It's a jungle out there!" This article or section presents information pertaining to Pikmin: Wide World, a fanon game created by Cheepy-Cheepy.

Bubbles appear in Pikmin: Wide World as a rare hazard. Any Pikmin or leader that touches one will become trapped inside of it until the bubble pops. Bubbles pop once enough time has passed or Pikmin are thrown at them, and leaders can pop a bubble they are trapped inside of by struggling enough. Popping a bubble is done most easily using Winged Pikmin because they are able to fly. Although small bubbles can often be seen underwater, they are purely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay.

Aquatic Cannon Grubs may blow large bubbles as a secondary attack, which can trap several Pikmin and leaders at once. Peckish Aristocrabs may spit up bubbles to defend themselves with. Lastly, Waddlepi may release a multitude of bubbles from the pores on their back.
