The Winged Pikmin is a species of Pikmin introduced in Pikmin 3. Distinguished by their pink bodies, large blue eyes, and translucent wings, they are the only Pikmin capable of flight. This unique ability allows them to traverse obstacles and carry objects over hazards impassable by other Pikmin types. In the game, they play a crucial role in solving puzzles that require aerial navigation and are essential for accessing certain areas and treasures, making them valuable members of the player's Pikmin squad.
