When carrying something, Winged Pikmin fly higher into the air, making it difficult to call them back with the ground whistle. Instead, they must be called by holding the button, which will summon a cylindrical beam of light that will call the Winged Pikmin. Winged Pikmin are capable of flying over obstacles and taking arial shortcuts that will save time that would otherwise be lost if other Pikmin had to carry the object.

If multiple types of Pikmin are carrying something that a Winged Pikmin is also carrying, the Winged Pikmin will carry it closer to the ground and will not fly with it. However, if the Winged-Pikmin-to-normal-Pikmin ratio is equivilant or above the ammount required to normal carry the object, they will lift the object and any ground-based Pikmin trying to carry the object will cling on for a few seconds before falling off.

Due to this behavior, and combined with the fact that idle Pikmin are prone to assisting nearby Pikmin who are carrying an item, Idle Winged Pikmin are known to "steal" fruits and spoils from other types of Pikmin by unintentionally-snatching them away from the other Pikmin as they try to fly with it.
