Added links to the new Weight article.
(Added a Pikmin Bloom section that links to the Expedition article, as it makes more sense for carrying speed to be described there.) |

In the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are able to '''carry''' various kinds of objects towards a destination. Carrying is one of the main mechanics of the ''Pikmin'' games, as it is how key items like [[ship part]]s, [[treasure]]s, and [[fruit]]s are collected. | In the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are able to '''carry''' various kinds of objects towards a destination.

In order to carry an object, the object must be lifted by a group of Pikmin large enough to support its weight. Objects will normally be carried to either the [[Onion]] or the [[Ship (disambiguation)|ship]], though some objects will be carried [[#Objects|elsewhere]]. When a Pikmin is ordered to carry an object that can be carried, it will grab onto its perimeter to help carry the object. If the object is too heavy, the Pikmin will just stand in place, periodically trying to pull it up, but once enough Pikmin grab onto the object, they will be able to carry it away. | In order to carry an object, the object must be lifted by a group of Pikmin large enough to support its [[weight]].

While an object is being carried, idle Pikmin nearby will attempt to help the carriers, if there is enough space around the object. If there is enough space for the new Pikmin, it will attempt to go the spot, and when it gets close, it will join them and the overall carrying speed will change accordingly. In the first two games, the carriers briefly halt in order for the new Pikmin to join them, but in ''Pikmin 3'', adding and subtracting Pikmin fluently changes the carrying velocity. If a Pikmin cannot join carrying for a few seconds, it will sigh and become idle. If there are no free spots to begin with, the Pikmin will just remain idle, or attempt to work on a different task. When called, the Pikmin will let go of the object and come to the [[leader]]'s side. If only some of the Pikmin are called, and the remaining Pikmin aren't enough to carry the object, they'll drop it and return to struggling to pick it up. | While an object is being carried, idle Pikmin nearby will attempt to help the carriers, if there is enough space around the object.

Each object has a weight and maximum number of carrier Pikmin. If the combined strength of the Pikmin is less than the weight, it cannot be carried. If the maximum number of carriers is already met, any new Pikmin will ignore the object. The "strength" is the total calculated Pikmin strength, so Purple Pikmin count 10 towards this number, instead of 1 like all others. | Each object has a [[weight]] and maximum number of carrier Pikmin.

For the minimum strength and maximum number of carriers on a [[ship part]], [[treasure]], [[enemy]] or [[fruit]], please visit the appropriate page and read the "Weight" and "Max. carriers" attributes on the infobox at the top-right corner of the article. | For the minimum strength and maximum number of carriers on a [[ship part]], [[treasure]], [[enemy]] or [[fruit]], please visit the appropriate page and read the "Weight" and "Max. carriers" attributes on the infobox at the top-right corner of the article. | ||
