'''Dirt mounds''' are [[tool]]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''' are [[tool]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and {{p4}}.

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. | 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.
