-'''Pikmin Throw''' is [[Pikmin & Olimar (SSBB)|Pikmin & Olimar]]'s [[side special move]]. [[Captain Olimar]] throws a [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] at an enemy, then the Pikmin latches onto the enemy and slowly racks up damage, similar to the effects of [[Lip's Stick]]. Different Pikmin have different effects when thrown, such as additional throwing damage from a Blue Pikmin, a curved trajectory from a Yellow Pikmin, and knockback and damage instead of damage over a long period only from Purple Pikmin. Red Pikmin deal 2%, blue 2%, yellow 2%, white deal 6% (the best for Pikmin Throw because it does the most damage and due it's height and speed, it's very easy to get a hit), and purple deal 6% with weak knockback.

[[Captain Olimar]] throws a [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] at an enemy, then the Pikmin latches onto the enemy and slowly racks up damage, similar to the effects of [[Lip's Stick]]. Different Pikmin have different effects when thrown. The move should be used to repel incoming opponents that are charging at Olimar while he is throwing Pikmin (latched-on Pikmin do not cause an enemy to flinch, and so they can continue attacking normally). Olimar's attacks require lots of training to be made effective. However, it may make opponents have to take time to knock the Pikmin off.
-It should be used to repel incoming opponents that are charging at Olimar while he is throwing Pikmin (latched-on Pikmin do not cause an enemy to flinch, and so they can continue attacking normally. Purple Pikmin are the exception, knocking the enemy away and interrupting any attacks currently winding up.) Olimar's attacks require lots of training to be made effective. However, it may make opponents have to take time to knock the Pikmin off.
 Pikmin can be [[reflect]]ed back at Olimar, in which case, they will stick to him. The player can simply use [[Pikmin Order]] to get them off if this happens.
-The less damage the opponent has, the longer time the Pikmin will latch on. Also, Pikmin are unable to latch onto Subspace Emissary enemies. A strong attack is usually enough to not only shake off the Pikmin, but usually also kill them.
+The less damage the opponent has, the longer time the Pikmin will latch on. Also, Pikmin are unable to latch onto Subspace Emissary enemies; they will instead deal damage as they pass through. A strong attack is usually enough to not only shake off the Pikmin, but usually also kill them. Pikmin will not be shaken off by an attack they are immune to (trying to [[Falcon Punch]] a Red Pikmin off one's body will have no effect).
-Pikmin that are thrown can be attacked, and thus killed. However, Pikmin together with Olimar are invincible.
+==Effects when thrown by colour==
+{|class="wikitable"
+!Colour!!Damage per hit!!Effects
+|-
+|Red||2%||No special characteristics other than dealing [[flame]] damage, so the latched character should avoid passing too close to a [[Blast Box]].
+|-
+|Yellow||2%||When thrown, travels slower and in a higher arc than other Pikmin, which can make it easier or harder to land a hit. Deals [[electric]] damage when latched.
+|-
+|Blue||2%||No special effects.
+|-
+|White||6%||Deals [[darkness|poison]] damage, triple the amount of other Pikmin, and can easily rack up 30% damage or more if allowed to do so. Travels very fast and very far when thrown; easier to land a hit but also easier to toss off the stage by accident.
+|-
+|Purple||6%||Instead of latching onto opponents, Purple Pikmin simply ram into them and deal damage once. Low knockback but enough to flinch and mix-up a character expecting to run through Olimar's spam.
