In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the first Red Pikmin are found by Captain Olimar, immediately after landing on the planet. There are 5 Pikmin fighting a [[Dwarf Bulborb|Dwarf Red Bulborb]] in the [[Valley of Repose]], right next to where Olimar lands. By [[Whistle|whistling]] at the Red Pikmin, Olimar gains control over them, which he uses to defeat the enemy. After this, once [[Louie]] has regained consciousness, he walks a short distance and finds the Red Onion. From there, Louie builds up the population in order to crush a [[bag]] separating him from Olimar, and from then on, the leaders are united.

====Discovery====
[[File:Alph Finds Red Pikmin.png|thumb|left|Alph first finding a Red Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3''.]]
[[File:Alph Finds Red Pikmin.png|200px|thumb|Alph first finding a Red Pikmin in ''Pikmin 3''.]]
In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the story begins with [[Charlie]] discovering [[Yellow Pikmin]] and ending up captured by the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. After this prologue, [[Alph]] wakes up in a small puddle at the [[Tropical Wilds]]. He walks a short distance before seeing a Red Pikmin, which surprises both of them. After walking a bit more, he finds three wild Red Pikmin trying to free their Onion from a branch. Alph [[throw]]s the Pikmin at it and succeeds in freeing it. He then proceeds to grow his army up to 20 (21 if the one sitting on the pot is obtained), so that he can push the [[cardboard box]] and get back to the [[S.S. Drake]], as well as try to rescue [[Brittany]]. Although Yellow Pikmin are seen first, Red Pikmin are the first type to have their Onion discovered, and thus, formally introduced.

Drake]], as well as try to rescue [[Brittany]]. Although Yellow Pikmin are seen first, Red Pikmin are the first type to have their Onion discovered, and thus, formally introduced.


====Uses====
Like the previous two games, there are no tasks that can be completed by only Red Pikmin, but because Red Pikmin are the first type discovered, they are required by default until another type is obtained. The only task designed specifically for Red Pikmin is retrieving the [[Sunseed Berry]] in the [[Distant Tundra]], because the [[Fruit (Pikmin franchise)|fruit]] is inside of the fiery enemy [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]], which is not near any water.
There is no task in the game that can only be completed with Red Pikmin specifically. However, as they are the first type discovered, they are by default required until another type is obtained. In addition, the following tasks are intended to be completed with Red Pikmin, though they can be done with other types:
*Fruits
**{{icon|Sunseed Berry|v=FF|y}}: The one in the [[Distant Tundra]] is inside of a [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]]. This Slooch is not near any water, so Red Pikmin are intended to be used. Other types can attack it as detailed below, though.
*Enemies
**{{icon|Fiery Blowhog|y|v=P3}}: This enemy shoots fire towards the player, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Plasm Wraith|y}}: This boss is able to create fire-type elemental plasms that create fire over a large area. But there is a short period before the fire starts burning, and the elemental plasm can be destroyed before then.
**{{icon|Pyroclasmic Slooch|y}}: The Pyroclasmic Slooch is a slug that is cloaked in [[Fire|flames]]. By luring one into water, however, its flames temporarily go out while it remains in the water, and can be attacked by any Pikmin type. Other than that, [[Rock Pikmin]] deal impact damage to Slooches even if they are cloaked in fire, although the player should [[whistle]] them right afterwards to save them. There is also a [[Pyroclasmic Slooch#Glitch|glitch]] that allows other types of Pikmin to attack a Slooch without catching fire.


{{clear}}
Fiery Blowhogs return again, still intended to be defeated by Red Pikmin, but remain defeatable by any Pikmin type. Similarly, the introduced [[Plasm Wraith]]s have a fiery attack, so they are also meant to be defeated by Red Pikmin, but can still be by any type.


===''Pikmin 4''===

[[File:Pikmin 4 pluck.jpg|200px|thumb|Plucking the first Red Pikmin in ''Pikmin 4''.]]
[[File:Pikmin 4 pluck.jpg|200px|thumb|Plucking the first Red Pikmin in ''Pikmin 4''.]]
In {{p4}}, Red Pikmin are discovered in the tutorial on day 1, but not straight away. After the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] lands, they first find [[Oatchi]], rescue [[Collin]], make their way through the [[Burrow of Beginnings]] and rescue [[Shepherd]], and make it to the landing site of the [[Rescue Command Post]]. There, the Red Onion is found buried in the ground, and after digging it up with Oatchi and pulling it to the landing site, the Onion springs into action and releases a single Red Pikmin seed, which the player can pluck to start growing a squad.
In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', Red Pikmin are discovered in the tutorial on day 1. Once the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] reaches the landing site of the [[Rescue Command Post]] and has [[Oatchi]] dig out a [[Red Onion]] nearby, the Onion releases a single Red Pikmin seed, which the player can pluck to start growing a squad.


In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], a Red Onion stands next to the [[S.S. Dolphin]] at the start of day 1. It is already active and contains 10 Red Pikmin.
In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], a Red Onion stands next to the [[S.S. Dolphin]] at the start of day 1. It is already active and contains 10 Red Pikmin. Just like the main campaign, it is necessary for the player to use Red Pikmin to discover other means of carrying and combat. It is unavoidable to either collect two [[ship part]]s with Red Pikmin to get to the [[Blossoming Arcadia]] and find [[Moss]], or to get the [[Yellow Onion]] with Red Pikmin in order to get [[Yellow Pikmin]]; otherwise, there are no ship parts that require Red Pikmin.


====Required uses====
Red Pikmin are now always required to obtain certain treasures. They are the only Pikmin type that can destroy the hazardous [[sizzling floor]]s. They are also the only Pikmin that can carry [[fire starter]]s, which they are required to do to destroy [[dried plant]]s in the [[Frozen Inferno]], the [[Cradle of the Beast]], and the entrance to a [[Dandori Challenge]] in the [[Giant's Hearth]].
{{game help|p4|Add instances where the cooling down of sizzling floors is necessary and can only be done with Red Pikmin}}
There are many items in ''Pikmin 4'' that require the use of Red Pikmin to collect. This is due to the existence of [[sizzling floor]]s, obstacles that can only be extinguished by Red Pikmin, and [[fire starter]]s, tools that can only be carried by Red Pikmin.


As Red Pikmin are the they are the first type discovered, there are certain tasks that require Red Pikmin to be used:
There are more enemies intended to be fought by Red Pikmin than in any other game. Besides the returning Fiery Blowhog, Fiery Bulblax, Fiery Dweevil, and Pyroclasmic Slooch, there is also is the [[Titan Blowhog]] and [[Scorchcake]]. One of the bosses, [[Ancient Sirehound]], uses fire-based attacks during the fourth phase of battle.
*[[Rescue Command Post]] ([[Treasure]]s)
**{{Icon|Stone of Advancement|y|v=P4}}: While [[Oatchi]] is needed to knock it down from the high platform, Red Pikmin are required as it [[weight|weigh]]s 10 and Oatchi can only carry 3 at the moment.
**{{icon|Path Creator|y|v=P4}}: It is on a high ledge which cannot be reached with Oatchi.
Red Pikmin are also required in certain areas due to the need to use a fire starter:
*[[Cave]]s:
**[[Frozen Inferno]]: Groups of [[dried plant]]s block access to multiple [[treasure]]s as well as the entrance to sublevel 2.
**[[Cradle of the Beast]]: Dried plants on sublevel 1 block carrying routes and the entrance to sublevel 2.
*[[Dandori Challenge]]s:
**The entrance to a Dandori Challenge in the [[Giant's Hearth]] is surrounded by dried plants.
Also, since Dandori Caves limit what types of Pikmin are available, not all of them are possible to get a platinum medal without Red Pikmin.
*[[Dandori Day Care]]: Red Pikmin are the only Pikmin type, and there's just too many [[Gold Nugget]]s to get them all with just [[Oatchi]] and [[Extra Hand]].
*[[Aerial Incinerator]]: Even though the [[Ambiguous Hostel]] is possible to get by making Oatchi grab it as he's falling into a [[pit]], the real problem is getting the Gold Nuggets, because without any Pikmin, it's impossible to get them all before the time is up.  
*[[Trial of the Sage Leaf#2nd Story: Snow Problem|2nd Story: Snow Problem]]: Since there's only Red Pikmin here, and a lot of the [[raw material]] is locked behind [[dried plant]]s, it's impossible to clear this, even in [[Dandori Challenge#Overtime|overtime]].
*[[Trial Run]]: There's no high valued [[treasure]]s, and Red Pikmin are the only type, so it's probably impossible to get over 100 {{icon|dandori}}.  


====Olimar's Shipwreck tale====
At the [[Rescue Command Post]], two of the treasures, the [[Stone of Advancement]] and the [[Path Creator]], can be collected by only Red Pikmin due to being the only type available.
Just like the main game mode, it's necessary to use Red Pikmin in order to discover other means of carrying and combat. It's unavoidable to either collect 2 [[ship part]]s with Red Pikmin to get to the [[Blossoming Arcadia]] and find [[Moss]], or to get the [[Yellow Onion]] with Red Pikmin in order to get [[Yellow Pikmin]]. Other than that, there are no ship parts that require Red Pikmin.


====Recommended uses====
There are a few [[Dandori Cave]]s where only Red Pikmin are available, including [[Dandori Day Care]], [[Trial of the Sage Leaf#2nd Story: Snow Problem|2nd Story: Snow Problem]], and [[Trial Run]].
{{game_help|p4|List all treasures that don't require Reds, but they're useful.}}
Several treasures and other obstacles in ''Pikmin 4'' can be subverted with means other than Red Pikmin, but they are still recommended. [[Sizzling floor]]s, on a few occasions, can only be cooled down by Red Pikmin, and [[fire starter]]s are often helpful but can be substituted in some instances. Here are things that are useful to have Red Pikmin with:
*[[Enemies]]:
**{{icon|Fiery Blowhog|y|v=P4}}: This enemy shoots fire towards the player, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Fiery Bulblax|y|v=P4}}: Only Red Pikmin and [[Glow Pikmin]] can withstand its flames. However, if the enemy is submerged, its fire goes out. White Pikmin can be ingested to poison it.
**{{icon|Fiery Dweevil|y|v=P4}}: This enemy can set a large group of Pikmin on fire at once, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Pyroclasmic Slooch|y|v=P4}}: This enemy is covered in fire so only Red Pikmin and Glow Pikmin can withstand the flames. However, it is possible to submerge the enemey allowing other Pikmin types to attack it.
**{{icon|Titan Blowhog|y|v=P4}}: This enemy shoots strong and fast fire towards the player, but can be defeated with any Pikmin type.
**{{icon|Scorchcake|y|v=P4}}: The underside of this enemy is covered in fire, so only Red Pikmin or Glow Pikmin can withstand the fire but the upperside has no flames meaning all Pikmin types can attack it.
**{{icon|Snowfake Fluttertail|y|v=P4}}: This [[boss]] is coated in [[ice]] which makes it immune to damage. One way to destroy the ice is to use a [[fire starter]], which can only be held by Red Pikmin. However, [[Ice Pikmin]] and [[pack]] items can be used to destroy the ice instead.
**{{icon|Ancient Sirehound|y|v=P4}}: The fourth phase of this fight uses fire based attacks.


*Dandori Caves:
===''Hey! Pikmin''===
**[[Hotshock Canyon]]: Even though there are Red Pikmin here, it's not excruciatingly difficult to get a platinum medal with only Yellow Pikmin, Oatchi, [[Extra Hand]] and the [[Pebble Pitcher]].
[[File:HP first group of Red Pikmin.jpg|thumb|The first group of Red Pikmin whistled in ''Hey! Pikmin''.]]
**[[Rockaway Cellars]]: Same as Hotshock Canyon, but with [[Rock Pikmin]] rather than Yellows.  
In ''[[Hey! Pikmin]]'', after Captain Olimar crash-lands on the planet, he explores the area he lands in until he stumbles upon a lone Red Pikmin. After he and the [[S.S. Dolphin II]]'s pod stare at it for a bit, it runs away. After moving forward some more, Olimar and his ship find the Pikmin's hiding spot, a bush. After using the [[whistle]] here, the Pikmin that was hiding behind, along with three others, pop out of the bush and join him. These Pikmin are used shortly after to collect some [[Sparklium Seed]]s that are out of reach. Eventually, Olimar finishes exploring this starting area, and leaves the Pikmin he found behind. The adventure proper then starts, with the area [[First Expedition]], where he once again meets the Red Pikmin, again, hiding behind a bush. This time, and from here on out, he takes any Red Pikmin he finds and salvages at the end of the area with him, and leaves them in the [[Pikmin Park]].
**[[Strategic Freezeway]]: Same as Hotshock Canyon, but with [[Ice Pikmin]] rather than Rocks.  
**[[Trial of the Sage Leaf#1st Story: Bulblaxes|1st Story: Bulblaxes]]: Same as Strategic Freezeway.  
**[[Trial of the Sage Leaf#6th Story: Gimmick Gambit|6th Story: Gimmick Gambit]]: This challenge's normal path requires Red Pikmin, but it's possible to use the Pebble Pitcher to press the [[button]] to open the final [[gate]].  
**[[Hot Sandy Duel]]: Since there's a lot of high valued treasures, a [[Sneak Bomb]], [[Bonus Find]]s, and [[Glow Pikmin]], and the fact that the [[Pebble Pitcher]] can help, it's pretty difficult, but doable.

===''Hey! Pikmin''===
Unlike the mainline series, Fiery Blowhogs can be only defeated by Red Pikmin. [[Fiery Dwarf Bulblax]]es, [[Fiery Young Yellow Wollywog]]s, and [[Fireflap Bulborb]] can all be defeated by Red Pikmin only. Although [[Fiery Blowlet]]s and [[Firesnout Beetle]]s are also fiery enemies, other Pikmin types can defeat them, but they are mainly intended to be destroyed by Red Pikmin.

This time, and from here on out, he takes any Red Pikmin he finds and salvages at the end of the area with him, and leaves them in the [[Pikmin Park]].


====Required uses====
There are several treasures that can be collected by Red Pikmin only, which is because they are the only Pikmin type in the area. The treasures include: [[Loop of Beginnings]], [[Hypno Pendulum]], [[Song Sewer]], [[Unassuming Lighthouse]], [[Quantum Traveler]], [[Constitution Gate]], [[Flashy Monument]], [[Preservation Door]], [[Despair-o-Sphere]], [[Revenge Fantasy]], [[Vacated Baby Buggy]], [[Tiny Jumbo Jet]], [[Deluxe Something-or-Other]], [[Sorcerer's Wand]], [[Self-Reflection Engine]], [[Extended Hand of Friendship]], [[Shimmering Skull]], [[Zoo of the Future]], [[Unremarkable Spinner]], [[Authoritative Obelisk]], [[Tempting Vision]], and [[Teeny Power Plant]].
{{todo|Write a list of treasures requiring Red Pikmin to collect.}}
Red Pikmin must be used in order to collect the following treasures and defeat the following enemies, and there are no glitches or exploits that allow other Pikmin types to do so.


In [[Pikmin Park]], the fireplace can only be destroyed by Red Pikmin due to their fire resistance.

===''Pikmin Bloom''===
*{{icon|Fiery Blowhog|y|v=HP}}: Red Pikmin are the only ones able to defeat it.
In ''[[Pikmin Bloom]]'', Red Pikmin are the first Pikmin type unlocked, with two being given to the player during the tutorial. Their [[seedling]]s require a minimum of 1 carrying strength to be retrieved, along with 1000 steps to grow. In [[expedition]]s, Red Pikmin have a carrying strength of 1 and have a [[Expedition#Speed|time modifier]] of 1. In [[mushroom battle]]s, they have a base [[Mushroom battle#Attack power|attack power]] of 4, and they are also the only Pikmin that can battle Fire Mushrooms.
*{{icon|Fiery Dwarf Bulblax|y}}: Because of its fiery back, it can only be defeated with Red Pikmin.
*{{icon|Fiery Young Yellow Wollywog|y}}: Its body is perpetually on fire, meaning that only Red Pikmin can kill it.
*{{icon|Fireflap Bulborb|y}}: Since its body is on fire, only Red Pikmin can be thrown at one to take it out.


====Recommended uses====
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Other Pikmin can be used for these tasks, but Red Pikmin are especially recommended due to their fire resistance.
Red Pikmin appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' as a type of Pikmin Olimar can pull from the ground via Pikmin Pluck. Red Pikmin, like in the games, deal a high amount of damage in most attacks; Purple Pikmin only have higher knockback, but do less damage to foes than Red Pikmin. Also, Red Pikmin have fire effects on their attacks, and are immune to fire attacks such as [[Bowser]]'s [[Fire Breath]] or [[Mario]]'s [[Fireball (Mario franchise)|Fireballs]].


*Enemies
In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', Red Pikmin also appear as [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]], and in ''Brawl'' exclusively, two [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|stickers]] exist with Red Pikmin on them, one with a reclining Pikmin, and one with a posing Pikmin. The trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is unlocked by clearing the [[Sproutage of the Flower Pikmin]] event.
**{{icon|Fiery Blowlet|y}}: Red Pikmin are recommended to defeat it, but other Pikmin types can defeat it too.

Red Pikmin appear in {{ssbb}}, {{ssb4}}, and {{ssbu}} as a type of Pikmin Olimar can pull from the ground via Pikmin Pluck. Red Pikmin, like in the games, deal a high amount of damage in most attacks; Purple Pikmin only have higher knockback, but do less damage to foes than Red Pikmin. Also, Red Pikmin have fire effects on their attacks, and are immune to fire attacks such as Bowser's Fire Breath or Mario's Fireballs. In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', they also appear as trophies, and in ''Brawl'' exclusively, two [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stickers|stickers]] exist with Red Pikmin on them, one with a reclining Pikmin, and one with a posing Pikmin.

*'''America:''' This Pikmin has a red body and a long, pointy nose. It was the first type of Pikmin Olimar ever met. In Smash Bros., they have the second highest attack power among the Pikmin. Like their fiery color suggests, they can attack with flames and withstand them.
*'''Europe:''' Telling Red Pikmin apart from the other Pikmin is easy: these ones have long, pointy noses. Also, they're red. They're the very first kind of Pikmin Olimar finds on their planet, and their high attack power makes them very useful. In this game, they can deal powerful attacks, and they're very resistant to fire damage.

*The first piece of [[downloadable content]] in ''[[Animal Crossing: City Folk]]'' was a hat item called "Red Pikmin". The item covers all of the character's head except the face, and stems out into a leaf. It could be sent to other regions through befriending Japanese players. The same item was later made available in Europe and then North America ({{date|25|March|2009}} as the second DLC item). It is worth 360 Bells.
