Players are ocassionally rewarded nectar for defeating enemies or hidden within "?" blocks, which levels them up into bud and then flowers, increasing their speed and damage. The players must attack enemies on their weak spots (indicated as purple glass spheres) to inflict proper damage, similar to how fighting has become in Pikmin 3.
