Hazard

Confusion is a nonlethal hazard that causes affected Pikmin to gather around the enemy responsible for their current state and jump around them in a daze. Purple gas engulfs the stems of affected Pikmin, and the Pikmin themselves will be unresponsive to whistling. The only ways to free a Pikmin from confusion are to kill the enemy that caused it, have the Pikmin be knocked down, or interrupt the movements of the responsible enemy.

In fanon media, even leaders are susceptible to confusion, which can have a variety of effects, such as impeding their navigational skills.

Confusion is a hazard in Pikmin Ultimate X that takes the form of hypnotic particles from certain enemies or hypno geysers. Affected Pikmin wander aimlessly with confetti-like particles surrounding their leaf, bud, or flower, and they will only recover once the source is eliminated. Some of the enemies that utilize confusion gas are the Royal Puffstool, Hypnotic Slooch, and Metalwraith. The only Pikmin type immune to confusion is Hypno Pikmin.
