A built-in feature of the plucking mechanic is the ability to rapidly pluck the second and following Pikmin in a row. By repeatedly pressing the pluck button, the leader will automatically move from Pikmin to Pikmin and pluck them out, at a faster speed than a regular pluck. This speed does not apply to the first Pikmin in this automated run. After each pluck, the leader moves from the current Pikmin to the closest one, even if that involves plucking one from a different type. If the closest Pikmin is too far away, the leader will stop the plucking spree, and if it is behind a wall but close, the leader will walk against it, and stop after a second. | A built-in feature of the plucking mechanic is the ability to rapidly pluck the second and following Pikmin in a row.

If the player stops pressing the button, the leader will stop plucking automatically. The walk from one seed to the next can also be canceled by pressing {{button|gcn|B|wii|B}} in the first two games, and {{button|wiiu|ZR|wiiu|PCB}} in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. | ||
Technically, although the recommended method is to rapidly press the pluck button, <ref>"''I guess I'll try to get it all done at once by <span style="color:red">repeatedly tapping {{button|gcn|A|wii|A}}</span> until I pick all the Pikmin from the ground.''" – Captain Olimar in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''.</ref> <ref>"''Reviewing Olimar's report, it seems '''repeatedly tapping {{button|gcn|A|wii|A}}''' lets one rapidly pluck Pikmin sprouts.''" – The Ship in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.</ref> all that is needed in order to trigger the automatic and quick pluck of the next Pikmin is to press the pluck button once while the leader is grabbing onto the current Pikmin sprout. This is needlessly more precise than the recommended method, which explains why the games and manuals describe it. | Technically, although the recommended method is to rapidly press the pluck button, <ref>"''I guess I'll try to get it all done at once by <span style="color:red">repeatedly tapping {{button|gcn|A|wii|A}}</span> until I pick all the Pikmin from the ground.''" – Captain Olimar in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''.</ref> <ref>"''Reviewing Olimar's report, it seems '''repeatedly tapping {{button|gcn|A|wii|A}}''' lets one rapidly pluck Pikmin sprouts.''" – The Ship in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.</ref> all that is needed in order to trigger the automatic and quick pluck of the next Pikmin is to press the pluck button once while the leader is grabbing onto the current Pikmin sprout.
