If the player needs a small amount of Pikmin (around five), it can be faster to repeatedly throw them ahead all in a row while moving forward, and whistling them back to the leader. This keeps them always ahead of the player's character, instead of staying behind and risking lagging. This is easier if the [[Controls|control scheme]] allows the [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]] to be moved independently from the leader. Once again, this is more helpful when used with slow Pikmin.

===Throwing Yellow Pikmin higher===
===Throwing Pikmin higher or further===
Interestingly, there are a few ways to throw [[Yellow Pikmin]] even higher, in {{npcp1}} and {{npcp2}}. If the throw happens from a [[plant]] or on top of a piece of [[chiyogami]], the Pikmin will go higher than normal.{{cite youtube|snR1T6LUNXQ|showing Yellow Pikmin being thrown higher from a piece of chiyogami}}{{cite youtube|WbDUbcuDLp4|showing Yellow Pikmin being thrown higher from a plant}}. Yellow Pikmin can also be thrown higher thanks to [[fire geyser]]s {{cite youtube|Z0P5WYNFWEA|showing Yellow Pikmin being thrown higher thanks to fire geysers}} Other Pikmin types do not get an increase in throw height. There are no known uses for this trick at the moment, however. Also, this does not work in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2''.
Interestingly, there are a few ways to throw [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] even higher or further, in {{npcp1}} and {{npcp2}}. It depends on the type and the way the Pikmin is thrown. The following tricks do not have any know uses at the moment, however. Also, they do not work in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2''.
 
*'''Throwing Pikmin higher''': If [[Yellow Pikmin]] are thrown from a [[plant]] {{cite youtube|WbDUbcuDLp4|showing Yellow Pikmin being thrown higher from a plant}} or on top of a piece of [[chiyogami]] {{cite youtube|snR1T6LUNXQ|showing Yellow Pikmin being thrown higher from a piece of chiyogami}}, they will go higher than normal. Yellow Pikmin can also be thrown higher thanks to [[fire geyser]]s {{cite youtube|Z0P5WYNFWEA|showing Yellow Pikmin being thrown higher thanks to fire geysers}}, corpses {{cite youtube|iCZnrreDRtE|showing Yellow Pikmin being thrown higher thanks to corpses}} and [[treasure]]s {{cite youtube|0rgXNMZAhyo|showing Yellow Pikmin being thrown higher thanks to treasures}}.
 
*'''Changing the distance of the throw''': The aforementioned tricks can be used to throw Yellow Pikmin both higher and further. However, there are some ways to increase or decrease the distance of the throw for other Pikmin types. Thanks to plants (particularly the [[Figwort]]), it is possible to throw [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[White Pikmin|White]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] slightly furhter {{cite youtube|V--Bd3nuBQ4|showing White, Blue and Red Pikmin thrown further thanks to a Figwort}} and [[Purple Pikmin]] slightly less far {{cite youtube|1JJSQwo6ozg|showing Purple Pikmin being thrown less far because of plants}}. However, if Purple Pikmin are thrown against a [[Breadbug]], they will go further {{cite youtube|yLAgs46wREI|showing Purple Pikmin being thrown further thanks to a Breadbug}}.
 
*'''Other tricks''' : If Pikmin are thrown from a [[gas pipe]], they will suddenly gain a lot of speed when choking {{cite youtube|VfI3tjAeIVo|showing how Pikmin can gain speed when choking.}} This does not happen if they are not thrown. Finally, if a Purple Pikmin is thrown at a [[gate]] while very close to the gate, and is thrown at full force, it will go through and attack from the other side {{cite youtube|ttD6A9eA5Rw|showing Purple Pikmin being thrown through a gate}}.
