'''Paper bags''' are [[obstacle]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. They are partially-compressed paper shopping bags that initially sit above ledges. After pushing them off the ledge with [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], they can be used as a ramp to go up the ledge.

==Mechanics==
Paper bags appear as shopping bags of various colors. In ''Pikmin 4'' they have the fictional brand name "Puppies" written on them. Their opening is closed, meaning that the paper bags form a triangular shape from their base to their top. These paper bags are found lying on their side, which means their rectangular bases act as walls, and their slanted sides act as ramps. These are always found with their opening facing a ledge, and they need to be pushed off of it from their base. When they fall down, they act as ramps to the tunnel they were pushed from, serving as shortcuts. All paper bags require a minimum 10 Pikmin to push them. Once they begin pushing it in ''Pikmin 3'', a [[cutscene]] plays; this happens for all paper bags. Pikmin standing below the ledge a paper bag is pushed from will not be crushed by it; instead they will just be pushed out of the way.
