'''Climbing Sticks''' are obstacles found in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']] and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' that require [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to build and shimmy up them. They are somewhat similar to [[bridge]]s, but they are not climbable by [[Captain Olimar]], nor by Pikmin carrying something. [[Sheargrub]]s and [[Shearwig]]s will fortunately not dismantle these useful ladders, although they are automatically leveled every day after sundown in ''Pikmin''. They are found in every level in ''Pikmin'' except [[The Forest of Hope]] and [[The Final Trial]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', Pikmin that carry objects on a route will use Climbing Sticks. Some Climbing Sticks need to be built, while others are already built.

'''Climbing sticks''' (known among fans as '''twigs''' prior to ''Pikmin 3'') are [[tool]]s found in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], {{p3}} and ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' that require [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to build and shimmy up them. They are somewhat similar to [[bridge]]s, but they are not used by [[leader]]s, nor by Pikmin carrying something (besides bomb rocks or small fruits, like Dawn/Dusk Pustules). [[Sheargrub]]s and [[Shearwig]]s will fortunately not dismantle these useful ladders, although they are automatically leveled every day after sundown in ''Pikmin''. In ''Pikmin 3'', Pikmin that [[carry]] single-weight objects on a route will use climbing sticks. Some climbing sticks need to be built, while others are already built.


In ''Pikmin'', an interesting happening is that there is a good chance that one or more Pikmin will start climbing the Climbing Stick, while other Pikmin are working on it. This is commonly seen on [[The Impact Site]], when the player wants to bring 100 Pikmin up the trunk. [[Group move|Swarming]] the Climbing Stick will cause some Pikmin to start climbing before the work is done. Additionally, swarming many Pikmin on a finished Climbing Stick might cause some Pikmin to get stuck on the bottom.
