Terrain is the type of material that a platform is composed of. Terrain can be in different colors and textures, and produce different footstep noises when characters and other objects step or land on them. Outside of cosmetics, terrain only has an effect on traction, as well as the speed and the frequency of Pikmin that Olimar plucks.

Brawl terrains

The frequency of different types of Pikmin is based on the type of terrain that Olimar is standing on.

Terrain	Description	Pluck Speed	Pikmin Frequencies
			R	Y	B	P	W
Basic	The default terrain type.	100%	1	1	1	0.4	0.5
Rock	The slowest terrain to pull Pikmin from, though even then the difference is slight because only part of the animation is affected. Kind of rare; only appears in Castle Siege part 3, Spear Pillar, the rock of Pirate Ship, and Target Test 2.	40%	1	1	1	0.4	0.5
Grass/Leaves	In general, any sort of plant surface.	100%	1	1	1	0.4	0.5
Dirt	Earth that's not covered with anything. Heavily used in the Subspace Emissary where grass terrain might be expected.	75%	1	1	1	0.4	0.5
Wood	Any kind of wood - logs, planks, whole trees, and so on.	100%	1	1	1	0.4	0.5
Light metal	Usually used for smaller/thinner metal objects.	80%	1	2	1	0.8	0.5
Heavy metal	Can be distinguished from light metal by the deeper footstep noises; there is no practical difference.	80%	1	2	1	0.8	0.5
Cloth	Things like awnings, carpets, and umbrellas. The only terrain where Pikmin plucking speed is increased.	120%	2	1	1	0.4	0.5
Alien goop	Among regular stages, only found on the side two platforms of Brinstar.	80%	1	1	2.5	0.4	0.5
Creature	The surface of the Bulborb in Distant Planet.	100%	1	0.5	1	0.2	1
Water	Water shallow enough to stand in.	100%	0	1	4	0.4	0.5
Rubber	The surface of a Trowlon.	100%	1	1	1	0.2	0.5
Snow	Any surface covered in snow.	100%	0.5	0.5	1	0.2	1
Ice	Any surface covered in ice. Reduces traction significantly.	75%	0.5	0.5	1	0.2	0.5
Subspace A	The pinkish-purple glass before the Great Maze.	100%	0.5	0.5	0.5	1	0.5

Checkered	The two floating platforms of Green Greens, as well as the surface of present-skin Rolling Crates.	100%	1	1	1	0.4	0.5
Spikes	Touching this causes slash damage. There is no actual hitbox.	70%	1	1	1	0.4	0.5
Lava	Touching this causes flame damage in most cases. However, there are many Subspace Emissary stages where this does slash damage instead, both instead of and alongside the "Spikes" terrain.	70%	1	1	1	0.4	0.5
Frostbite	Used for the collision structure of the Iceberg. Touching this causes freezing damage.	70%	1	1	1	0.4	0.5

Cloud	Surfaces with a top layer of clouds.	100%	1	1	2	0.4	1
Subspace	The entirety of Subspace I, Subspace II, and Tabuu's Residence (including normally-Basic stuff like blocks and springs).	100%	0.3	0.3	0.3	1	1
