'''Climbing sticks''' (known among fans as '''twigs''' prior to ''Pikmin 3'') 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 used by [[leader]]s, 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 event that can happen is that there is a good chance that one or more Pikmin will start climbing the 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 increase the chances of this happening. Additionally, swarming many Pikmin on a finished climbing stick might cause some Pikmin to get stuck on the bottom.

In The Forest Navel, climbing sticks appear very often. One is near the [[Number 1 Ionium Jet|#1 Ionium Jet]] and some [[bomb rocks]], one is used as a shortcut just behind the Blue Onion, and the final one is near the [[Crimson Candypop Bud]] where an [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]] also resides.
In The Forest Navel, climbing sticks appear very often. One is near the [[Number 1 Ionium Jet|#1 Ionium Jet]] and some [[Bomb rock|bomb-rocks]], that is used as a shortcut to the section behind the Blue Onion, while another is near the [[Crimson Candypop Bud]] where an [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]] also resides. A third climbing stick is next to a black [[reinforced wall]], and is needed to reach the [[Automatic Gear]]. The final one can be found near the outer edge of the landing site next to a [[Honeywisp]], and is used as a small shortcut back to the landing site.
