Dirt mounds are obstacles in Pikmin 3. They appear as lumps of dirt on the ground, with a hole on top that Pikmin can climb in through. The burrows inside contain items, including fragments, bomb rocks, pellets and data files. In order for the Pikmin to enter the hole, the player must have them charge at it, or throw them towards the mound. Once Pikmin are inside, they periodically spit out the items within, with the interval being smaller the more Pikmin there are. Once everything has been removed, the Pikmin come out of the dirt mound, which then collapses and becomes unusable. They become active again after a day, though, provided they still have content inside.

Trivia

  • If a Pikmin is working on a dirt mound, even if it is close to the surface of the hole, it cannot be eaten by enemies. If an enemy attacks it, like for instance, a Whiptongue Bulborb's tongue, the Pikmin will squeal, but will live and continue working like normal.
