It has a few uses, the most important one being the ability to be [[carry|carried]] by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to the landing point. To lie down, the player must press {{button|gc|padd|wii|2}} / {{button|switch|rstickclick}} in ''Pikmin'', and hold {{button|gc|x|wii|c}} / press {{button|switch|rstickclick}} in ''Pikmin 2''. Some requisites must first be met before being able to lie down, however. In ''Pikmin'', the first day must be completed before the ability is enabled. In ''Pikmin 2'', the player must first retrieve the [[Five-man Napsack]]. It is possible to lie down in either game's [[Challenge Mode]], as well as [[2-Player Battle]]. | ||
When a leader is lying down, some buttons can be pressed in order to make him stand up. In ''Pikmin'', after the leader wakes up, the carrier Pikmin will sigh, and in ''Pikmin 2'', they will cheer as if they had successfully delivered the leader to an [[Onion]]. The following table lists which action [[controls]] will make the leader stand up: | When a leader is lying down, some buttons can be pressed in order to make him stand up.

When lying down, all nearby idle Pikmin or Pikmin in the party will attempt to grab the leader. This might not be possible if the leader lies down in a tight place. After enough Pikmin grab on, they will begin [[carrying]] him to the [[Research Pod]] or an Onion, decided the same way as any other carried object would be. After being beamed up, the leader will hit the Onion or Pod and wake up. On top of that, in ''Pikmin'', [[Easter egg|fireworks]] will come out when he hits the bottom of an Onion. | When lying down, all nearby idle Pikmin or Pikmin in the party will attempt to grab the leader.

In ''Pikmin'', being carried is mostly a fun activity with no advantage, but in ''Pikmin 2'', this can be coupled with the ability to switch leaders in order to maximize the multitasking potential. If the player wishes to have one leader return to the landing site, they can order some Pikmin to carry him, and then switch to the other leader, where they can continue working on something else. Care should be taken about any Pikmin left behind by the leader that chooses to get carried, as only 4 at most may come with him (the carrier Pikmin). | In ''Pikmin'', being carried is mostly a fun activity with no advantage, but in ''Pikmin 2'', this can be coupled with the ability to switch leaders in order to maximize the multitasking potential.

In this sense, being carried functions like a limited version of the [[Go Here!]] command in later games.

In ''Pikmin'', 4 Pikmin are required to carry the leader, and up to 5 may carry him at once. In ''Pikmin 2'', only one Pikmin is needed to begin moving a leader, and a maximum of 4 may carry him at once. Pikmin carrying a leader in ''Pikmin 2'' will move at the fastest carrying speed possible, regardless of the amount, [[maturity]], type and [[Ultra-spicy spray|spicy]] status. | In ''Pikmin'', 4 Pikmin are required to carry the leader, and up to 5 may carry him at once.

In ''Pikmin'', while lying down, [[Captain Olimar]] is completely impervious to all sorts of attacks. This can be used to distract an enemy while Pikmin nearby are busy doing something. | In ''Pikmin'', while lying down, [[Captain Olimar]] is completely impervious to all sorts of attacks.

In ''Pikmin 2'' | In ''Pikmin 2'', [[boulders]] and the rocks shot by [[Lithopod]]s will always be destroyed if they come into contact with a lying leader, without inflicting any damage. In addition, a [[Wollywog]] or [[Yellow Wollywog]]'s landing will also not harm a lying leader at all. Otherwise, the leader is only invulnerable for {{frames|6}} frames. A [[Burrowing Snagret]]'s peck can't be avoided by lying down. | ||
