There is a chance for Pikmin on an expedition to return with a [[postcard]]. This postcard can be collected alongside the [[fruit]] or [[seedling]] the Pikmin was carrying, and will be shown on the screen, temporarily interrupting gameplay. The postcard will be an image of the area the Pikmin collected the fruit or seedling from, and it will show them posing in that location. | There is a chance for Pikmin on an expedition to return with a [[postcard]].

Only the specific Pikmin who is at maximum friendship can go on this expedition, and the gift box in question will be located where the Pikmin's [[seedling]] was discovered. When this expedition is completed and the gift collected, the Pikmin will jump into the gift box and come out as a [[Decor Pikmin]]. | ||

Items collectable on expeditions have 2 different kinds of weight: carrying weight | Items collectable on expeditions have 2 different kinds of [[weight]]: carrying weight and metric weight. The carrying weight is the minimum Pikmin strength needed to [[carry]] the object and hence start the expedition. The metric weight is measured in grams and is displayed by the game before each expedition, and does not correlate with the carrying weight. | ||
Different items have different carrying weights and thus take a different number of Pikmin to carry. [[Red Pikmin]], [[Yellow Pikmin]], [[Blue Pikmin]], [[White Pikmin]], and [[Winged Pikmin]] have the strength to carry 1 weight unit. [[Rock Pikmin]] have a strength of 3 weight units. [[Purple Pikmin]] have a strength of 5 weight units. Below is a table of the weight of each collectable item (in weight units) and the maximum number of Pikmin that can carry it (as a number of Pikmin). | Different items have different carrying weights and thus take a different number of Pikmin to carry.

[[Purple Pikmin]] and [[Rock Pikmin]] greatly complicate the speed system, as their increased carrying strength also plays a role in the formula. While their running speed is slower than the other types, being 3.2m/s if they are the only types sent, their carrying speed can be considerably faster. The amount it is faster by isn't consistent, and also depends on what other Pikmin are sent. As an example, when the number of Pikmin is equal to the weight of the object and all the Pikmin are the same type, Purple Pikmin carry at 4m/s and Rock Pikmin carry at 2.4m/s. | [[Purple Pikmin]] and [[Rock Pikmin]] greatly complicate the speed system, as their increased carrying strength also plays a role in the formula.
