The use of [[Candypop Bud]]s makes growing more Pikmin unnecessary in many cases, though they are not readily available in others. | Although the heaviest object, the [[Wayward Moon]], requires 20 Pikmin to carry, and no [[obstacle]] requires more than 20 Pikmin to pass, more than 20 Pikmin are necessary to finish the game.
