In {{p3}} and {{hp}}, bridges are made of [[#Fragment|fragments]] of various objects, rather than wood, as in the previous games. These fragments are mostly of ceramic objects, but can also be shards from objects such as glasses. Bridges are made from varying numbers of fragments (in ''Pikmin 3'', the shortest is 30, and the longest is 84), and come in several different colors, with some bridges already being partially or fully completed by the time they're encountered. Depending on the bridge, it may or may not be possible to [[throw]] Pikmin and leaders from the bridge (an example where it doesn't work is the light blue bridge leading to the [[Winged Onion]] in ''Pikmin 3''). To build a bridge, Pikmin must carry fragments over to it, which they then put into place. Once all fragments are delivered, the bridge is completed. Because these bridges are made of a hard material, enemies cannot destroy them as they can wooden bridges.

In ''Pikmin 3'', unfinished bridges are slightly slanted upwards, and an invisible wall will prevent leaders from crossing past the last existing row of six fragments. In addition, a bridge lowers into place when it is completed, which can knock leaders over if they are standing too close. Leaders on the bridge itself will not be knocked down.

'''Fragments''' are tiles of broken household objects that are used to build the bridges in {{p3}} and {{hp}}. Fragments are clustered together in piles, and the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] will [[carry]] them to the bridge of the corresponding fragment color.

'''Hay''' is an obstacle in ''Pikmin 3'' that essentially replaces the sloped bridges from the previous games. While bridges are made out of fragments, and link two pieces of land over a gap, hay is grabbed in chunks and piled up against walls to serve as a ramp to go up. A large and tidy pile of hay sits in one place, and Pikmin grab chunks off of it, one by one, like fragments. When they reach the wall that needs to be overcome (which can be recognized with some faint strands of hay on the floor), they toss their hay on the floor, so that it piles up. When it's done, the "task complete" sound plays, and Pikmin and leaders can use the new ramp to climb up the wall. These chunks act just like [[#Fragment|fragments]] otherwise.
