Items collectable on expeditions have 2 different kinds of weight: carrying weight, and weight in grams. The carrying weight is the minimum Pikmin strength needed to [[carry]] the object and hence start the expedition. The weight in grams 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). | |||

The weight of different items in grams also depends on the type of item, but in a different way. The weight of seedlings seems to depend on the carrying strength of the corresponding Pikmin type; for example, Purple Seedlings are heavier than White Seedlings. The weight of fruits generally correlates to the amount of [[nectar]] that fruit will provide – in most cases, the nectar provided is the weight in grams, divided by 10, rounded down. For example, a green apple weighing 228 grams will give 22 nectar. | |||

[[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.
