(The formulas for running speed and carrying speed have finally been found! Thanks to Cirrus for working out the formulas and Sike for collecting the data that made finding this possible.) |

As the player walks around and blooms [[Big Flower]]s, items will appear on the map nearby. The player can then send a group of Pikmin to walk to the item and carry it back to the player. Expeditions are the main way for Pikmin [[seedling]]s to be obtained, and are a major way of obtaining [[nectar]]. Expeditions are unlocked once the player reaches [[level]] 6. | ||

The carrying speed of the group in meters per second is equal to the total strength of the group, divided by the weight of the object being carried, divided by the average speed modifier of all the Pikmin in the group. For example, a [[Fruit (Pikmin Bloom)|fruit]] (with a weight of 6), carried by 3 [[Blue Pikmin]] and 2 [[Purple Pikmin]] (with a total carrying strength of 13 and an average speed modifier of 1.1), will be carried at 13 / 6 / 1.1 = about 1.9697 meters per second. | The carrying speed of the group in meters per second is equal to the total strength of the group, divided by the weight of the object being carried, divided by the average speed modifier of all the Pikmin in the group.

These speeds can be used to find the approximate time of each | These speeds can be used to find the approximate time of each section of the expedition, by dividing the distance of the item (in meters) by the speed of the group. The game's time estimate is calculated by adding the times for each section and rounding it up to the next minute. | ||
