'''Gates''' are found in a number of different forms in both [[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]], which require different strategies to overcome them.  They are the most common type of obstacle in Pikmin.  Gates block paths to different areas and can be destroyed by [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]]; just swarm them onto the structure.  As time passes, the length of which depends on the number and type of Pikmin working on razing the gate and the type of gate, it will lower in three distinct stages, finally collapsing to the ground with the characteristic 'completion sound'.


==Variations==
The term '''gate''' could refer to any of the following:
There are four major variations in gate structure:
*White gates (also known as '''white Bramble Gates''') are the most basic, and take a relatively short amount of time to destroy.
*Black gates (also known as '''black Bramble Gates''') that are made up of a lattice-like pattern are stronger, but any Pikmin can still remove them.
*Electric fences consist of metal with [[Hazards#Electricity|electricity]] running through; of course, only [[Yellow Pikmin]] can help with clearing these out of the way.
*stone gates, found only in [[Pikmin 1]], require the Yellow Pikmin again, this time due to their affinity for [[bomb-rocks]].  Each blast from a bomb-rock makes the wall fall to a lower stage. There are three colour variations here: white stone gates, which require only three bomb-rocks, gray ones, which require six, and black stone gates, which require nine bomb-rocks.

Ordinary black and white gates can also be found with pipes emitting [[Hazards#Poison|poison gas]] within, found only in [[Pikmin 2]].  These require the resistance of [[White Pikmin]].


==Locations==
*'''{{icon|Bamboo gate|y}}''': requires Winged Pikmin to lift.
This is a list of the locations of each type of gate (above ground only: underground numbers vary).
*'''{{icon|bramble gate|y|v=White|n=Bramble gate}}''': can be destroyed by an Pikmin type.

== Gate strength ==
The strength of both colors of normal gate varies greatly through both Pikmin games, though those above ground tend in general to be much sturdier than the randomly generated ones in [[cave]]s in Pikmin 2.  An exception to this is the white gates that enclose the [[Emperor Bulblax]] arena at the [[Final Trial]] in the first Pikmin game, which are exceptionally frail for above-ground gates.
 
== Minor Glitch ==
[[Image:Gate Glitch.jpg|thumb|100px|The submerged part is seen next to the "10"]]
A visual glitch that occurs with certain gates allows them still to be visible underground when parts are submerged. Once the entire gate has been torn down, everything appears normal again. This is best seen [[Cave|underground]] in Pikmin 2, and in [[The Forest Navel]] in Pikmin 1. In the latter case, it is a simple black gate near a [[Fiery Blowhog]] and a [[Pellet Posy]] growing in the pool.
