For the GameCube games, it is relatively simple: after setting the cursor on the intended location, the player can move one digit to {{button|gc|c}} (such as the left or right thumb) and another to {{button|gc|a}} (like the right thumb or right index). The player can then mash {{button|gc|a}} and tilt {{button|gc|c}} so that the group is always near the leader. Due to the way swarming works in the ''New Play Control!'' games, this is a harder task in those games. {{button|wii|padd}} moves the Pikmin towards the cursor, which should be pointing at the enemy or ledge. The Pikmin are on the opposite side from the leader, so in order to keep them close, the player must press {{button|wii|padd}} in short spurts, so that the Pikmin are neither too far ahead or behind. | For the GameCube games, it is relatively simple: after setting the cursor on the intended location, the player can move one digit to {{button|gc|c}} (such as the left or right thumb) and another to {{button|gc|a}} (like the right thumb or right index).

The method for the ''New Play Control!'' games is quite a lot harder than the GameCube way, as it is harder to position the fingers so that both {{button|wii|a}} and {{button|wii|padd}} can be pressed, especially without releasing the Nunchuk; it is also hard to maintain a steady cursor while two fingers are pressing on the Wii Remote repeatedly. Finally, it is hard to maintain two different button rhythms at once. As such, an alternate strategy is normally used instead. Because the leader can move independently of the cursor, the latter can be held on the target, and the player can focus on moving the leader through the group. Care should be taken in order to keep the cursor from deviating from its intended place, though. One way to stop the cursor from leaving its spot on the screen is to place the Nunchuk hand's wrist in front of the [[Wii]] Remote's sensor.{{cite youtube|Wi0SQHvNv6c|demonstrating how one can cover the infrared sensor on the Wii Remote to stop the cursor from shaking about}} | The method for the ''New Play Control!'' games is quite a lot harder than the GameCube way, as it is harder to position the fingers so that both {{button|wii|a}} and {{button|wii|padd}} can be pressed, especially without releasing the Nunchuk; it is also hard to maintain a steady cursor while two fingers are pressing on the Wii Remote repeatedly.

It's not quite as effective, but it still increases throw speed. | ||
In ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', a Pikmin of the standby type will instantly move towards the leader's hand. | In ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', a Pikmin of the standby type will instantly move towards the leader's hand. | ||
