(Added some basic Pikmin Bloom information.)
(Added a Pikmin Bloom section that links to the Expedition article, as it makes more sense for carrying speed to be described there.)

In general, the carrier Pikmin's maturity, whether they are [[Ultra-spicy spray|spicy]] or not, the number of carriers, and the type of the Pikmin all have an impact on how quickly the object is carried.
In general, the carrier Pikmin's maturity, whether they are [[Ultra-spicy spray|spicy]] or not, the number of carriers, and the type of the Pikmin all have an impact on how quickly the object is carried. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', carried objects always travel at the same speed.

The speed at which Pikmin carry an object in ''Pikmin'' depends on the carrier Pikmin's [[maturity]] and total amount, and the object's weight and maximum number of carriers.
The speed at which Pikmin carry an object in {{p1}} depends on the carrier Pikmin's [[maturity]] and total amount, and the object's weight and maximum number of carriers.


Fan-driven research has resulted in the following formula for the speed at which Pikmin carry an object, where ''w'' is the object's weight, ''m'' is the object's maximum carrier number, and ''P'' is the set of all carrier Pikmin. ''Sp'' refers to the [[maturity|stage]] of any given carrier Pikmin. The final number is in an arbitrary unit of speed.

===''Pikmin 2''===
===''Pikmin 2''===
The speed at which an object is carried depends on several factors, like the [[Pikmin family|type]], [[maturity]], and [[ultra-spicy spray|spicy status]] of the carrier Pikmin, the total amount of carriers, the maximum amount of carriers for that object, the object's weight, and some other internal values.
The speed at which an object is carried in {{p2}} depends on several factors, like the [[Pikmin family|type]], [[maturity]], and [[ultra-spicy spray|spicy status]] of the carrier Pikmin, the total amount of carriers, the maximum amount of carriers for that object, the object's weight, and some other internal values.


Fan-driven research{{cite web|http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm31645335|【ピクミン2】運搬速度論 第1回|Nicovideo|published={{date|28|July|2017}}|retrieved={{date|2|March|2018}}}} has resulted in the following formula for carrying speeds, where ''w'' is the object's weight, ''m'' is the object's maximum carrier number, and ''P'' is the set of all carrier Pikmin. ''Tp'' refers to any given carrier Pikmin's type, and ''Sp'' to its [[Maturity|stage]]. The final number is in an arbitrary unit of speed. For the [[Doomsday Apparatus]], the weight and minimum carriers are both set to 1,000.

Much like in ''Pikmin 2'', the carrying speed depends on the type, maturity, [[ultra-spicy spray|spicy]] status, and total of carrier Pikmin, as well as the object's weight and maximum amount of carriers.
Much like in ''Pikmin 2'', the carrying speed in {{p3}} depends on the type, maturity, [[ultra-spicy spray|spicy]] status, and total of carrier Pikmin, as well as the object's weight and maximum amount of carriers.


Fan-driven research has resulted in the following formula for carrying speeds, where ''w'' is the object's weight, ''m'' is the object's maximum carrier number, and ''P'' is the set of all carrier Pikmin. ''Tp'' refers to any given carrier Pikmin's type, and ''Sp'' to its [[Maturity|stage]]. The final number is in an arbitrary unit of speed. Because of the values used by ''Pikmin 3'', it is possible for the formula to return a number smaller than 1, but in such cases, the game just clamps the value to 1, to stop Pikmin from carrying things too slowly.

While it is not known how much, [[Winged Pikmin]] carrying an object through the air travel at a slower pace than grounded Pikmin do. The carrying complications regarding Winged Pikmin also impact speed. If grounded Pikmin are carrying an object, adding Winged Pikmin to the object will not increase its carrying speed. However, if there are not enough grounded Pikmin to carry, Winged Pikmin will add speed at the same rate as a grounded Pikmin.{{cite youtube|RtH81Hab5r0|showing speed visibly slowing when the final grounded Pikmin to carry is added.}} As mentioned above, this formula applies even as an object is being lifted into the air and grounded Pikmin are clinging on to it.

===''Hey! Pikmin''===
In {{hp}}, carried objects always travel at the same speed.
===''Pikmin Bloom''===
In {{pb}}, carried objects on [[expedition]]s have their speed calculated in a totally different way to how it is done in the main games. The system used to determine speed is described at [[Expedition#Speed]].
