Updated since fast ones are now crossable
(Updated to reflect the new title. There's still a lot to do to update this article for Pikmin 4 though.) |

'''Moving walkways''' are [[tool]]s in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. They are silver conveyor belts that constantly move in a certain direction, and their direction can be switched by activating a [[switch]]. Objects on top of one are carried along the belt until they reach static land or fall off, sometimes into the [[pit]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', they are found only in the [[Mission Mode]] stage [[Clockwork Chasm]], while in ''Pikmin 4'' they are found in several [[cave]]s. | '''Moving walkways''' are [[tool]]s in {{p3}} and {{p4}}.

Some belts are faster than others, and although [[leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are fast enough to cross against the slower ones, faster ones may make it impossible to go against the flow. Regardless of speed, Pikmin will only [[carry]] objects with the flow. The direction of all belts in the stage can be reversed if a leader or Pikmin is [[throw]]n onto a conveyor switch. | Some belts are faster than others, and although [[leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are fast enough to cross against the slower ones, faster ones may make it impossible to go against the flow other than by [[Oatchi]]'s [[rush]].

The conveyor belts in Clockwork Chasm are used as the stage's main gimmick; so much so that the leaders and a blob of nectar begin on top of one on the Collect Treasure! mission, which carries them to the main platform. They mostly provide a strategy element to the stage, since players have to plan out their usual routine, but also have to coordinate when and where the conveyor belts must be switched, to help Pikmin move quicker or open up paths. In this stage, there are 22 belts in the Collect Treasure! mission, and 18 in the Battle Enemies! mission. | The conveyor belts in Clockwork Chasm are used as the stage's main gimmick; so much so that the leaders and a blob of nectar begin on top of one on the Collect Treasure! mission, which carries them to the main platform.
