Pier-like structures near the shore of a river serve as stops for the lily pads. When a lily pad approaches one of these spots, it gets close and slows down momentarily. This allows the explorers and their followers to hop on the plant to ride it, and likewise, to get off and back to solid ground. If the path crosses a branch or another structure that makes it impossible for the leaders and Pikmin to continue to be on top of the lily pad, they will automatically jump out and onto the piece of land that stood in their way. In this way, they function a bit like {{w|Gondola lift|gondola lifts in real life}}. | Pier-like structures near the shore of a river serve as stops for the lily pads.

Pikmin can also use lily pads by themselves, if the path they want to take requires the use of one. Rarely, Pikmin that board lily pads on their own might fail to use them correctly, which could result in them getting killed.{{cite youtube|twZSmcg0B9E&|in which some Pikmin fail to use the lily pads correctly and die in the process|m=11|s= | Pikmin can also use lily pads by themselves, if the path they want to take requires the use of one.

It takes a few seconds for everybody in the group to make the jump to or from a lily pad, as every Pikmin and leader jumps at a different time. If the plant becomes out of reach of the platform while the player's leader is jumping, part of the group following them might be too late and will stay behind. While riding a lily pad, the [[KopPad#Go Here!|Go Here!]] functionality will not work. | It takes a few seconds for everybody in the group to make the jump to or from a lily pad, as every Pikmin and leader jumps at a different time.
