Sand is a hazard in Pikmin 2... Again?. It is found not only in deserts but in other areas and is used by some enemies. It can also be in the form of sandstorms. In its basic form, Pikmin exposed to sand will get sand particles on their stem, panicking and scattering as a result, and will eventually suffocate and die if not whistled soon enough. However, Pikmin hit by particles of it in a sandstorm will be blinded and cover their eyes, during which they will walk aimlessly while they struggle to get the sound out of their eyes, and whistling only prevents them from wandering away while they work to recover. Claw Pikmin and Glow Pikmin are immune to sand and quicksand. Sand can even affect leaders, obscuring their vision with sand particles, which can be removed by moving. Sandstorms obscue their vision far less than regular sand, however.
