'''Dirt mounds''' are [[obstacle]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They appear as lumps of dirt on the ground, with a hole on top that Pikmin can climb in through. The burrows inside contain items, including [[fragment]]s, [[bomb rock]]s, [[pellet]]s and [[data file]]s. In order for the Pikmin to enter the hole, the player must have them [[charge]] at it, or throw them towards the mound. Once everything has been removed, the Pikmin come out of the dirt mound, which then collapses and becomes unusable. They become active again after a [[day]], though, unless they had fragments in them.
'''Dirt-mounds''' (written as '''dirt mounds''' prior to ''Pikmin 4'') are [[tool]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and {{p4}}. They appear as lumps of dirt on the ground, with a hole on top that Pikmin can climb in through. The burrows inside contain items, including [[fragment]]s, [[bomb rock]]s, [[pellet]]s, [[data file]]s and [[raw material]]. During [[night expedition]]s and in the [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]] in ''Pikmin 4'', there are also dirt-mounds which continually spawn [[Bulborb Larva]]e. In order for the Pikmin to enter the hole, the player must have them [[charge]] at it, or throw them towards the mound. Once everything has been removed, the Pikmin come out of the dirt-mound, which then collapses and becomes unusable. They become active again after a [[day]], though, unless they had fragments in them.

==Digging speed==
==Digging speed==
After any number of Pikmin go in and the [[dig]]ging starts (represented by the mound shaking), it takes roughly ten seconds for the first item to be spit out of the mound. Any other items will be spat out at a regular interval that depends on the number of Pikmin inside the hole, calculated at a logarithmic rate (i.e. twenty Pikmin are a significant improvement over one, but forty are a relatively minor one over twenty).<ref>Information gathered from a [[Talk:{{PAGENAME}}|fan-driven experiment]]</ref> Pikmin type, [[maturity]], and [[Ultra-spicy spray|spicy]] status do not have an impact on the speed at which new items come out. Because the number of Pikmin only influences the time it takes for the second and beyond items to come out, dirt mounds with only one thing inside of them will take just as long to clear with one Pikmin as they will with one hundred.

*If a Pikmin is working on a dirt mound, even if it is close to the surface of the hole, it cannot be eaten by enemies. If an enemy attacks it, like for instance, a [[Whiptongue Bulborb]]'s tongue, the Pikmin will squeal, but will live and continue working like normal.

*Dirt mounds somewhat resemble the holes leading to caves in {{p2}}.
*In {{p3d}}, if a Pikmin is thrown right into the small hole that's left behind after the mound collapses, it will go inside and then shortly after come back out as if it had finished the task again.
