Wind is a hazard in the canonical Pikmin games. The most common sources of wind are from airborne blowhogs, although other sources of wind exist. Depending on its strength, wind can push, knock down, or forcefully blow away leaders and most Pikmin types. Some types of wind may have additional or different effects. Purple Pikmin are completely unaffected by wind, save for any extra effects it may have.

Wind is also present as part of weather in some fan-made games.
