Before throwing, it is possible to hold on to a Pikmin/leader by keeping the button pressed. While held on, the Pikmin or leader will make a sound indicating that they are ready to be thrown; in ''Pikmin 2'', this sound is repeated several times with varying pitches, until thrown. The leader can move around with a party member in their hand, which can be useful if one wishes to bring a single slow Pikmin with them.

The leader can move around with a party member in their hand, which can be useful if one wishes to bring a single slow Pikmin with them. In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', when a Pikmin is being held onto, all other Pikmin in the group will be organized by type, so that those of the type of the currently held Pikmin are at the front of the line – this allows the leader to throw several of the same type of Pikmin in a row. | ||
While holding, it is also possible to swap the currently held Pikmin/leader for one of a different type in the party, or even maturity, depending on the games, as outlined [[#Controls|above]]. | While holding, it is also possible to swap the currently held Pikmin/leader for one of a different type in the party, or even maturity, depending on the games, as outlined [[#Controls|above]]. | ||

In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'' on the GameCube, if the leader is moving while throwing the Pikmin, the leader's speed is added to the Pikmin throw's speed. Hence, if a leader is running forward while throwing a Pikmin in the same direction, it will land much farther than normal. This trick can be used to throw Pikmin to places where they were not meant to reach. An example would be over the [[cardboard box]] at the southwest of [[The Forest of Hope]], throwing Pikmin from the western side over the box and | In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'' on the GameCube, if the leader is moving while throwing the Pikmin, the leader's speed is added to the Pikmin throw's speed.

This trick can be used to throw Pikmin to places where they were not meant to reach. An example would be over the [[cardboard box]] at the southwest of [[The Forest of Hope]], throwing Pikmin from the western side over the box and onto the eastern side, where they can push it without the need for Blue Pikmin on the nearby lakes. | ||
In the ''New Play Control!'' versions, this trick is not necessary, nor does it work: the leader's momentum is not carried over, otherwise the player would not be able to accurately throw Pikmin all around while moving, which is one of the new control scheme's biggest advantages. In these games, the throw distance limit has been raised, compared to the GameCube games, which allows for naturally longer throws that can permit the same exploits as those in the original games. | In the ''New Play Control!'' versions, this trick is not necessary, nor does it work: the leader's momentum is not carried over, otherwise the player would not be able to accurately throw Pikmin all around while moving, which is one of the new control scheme's biggest advantages.
