The Napsack provides a quick method of returning to the Pikmin [[Onion]]s above ground or the [[Research Pod]] when [[cave|underground]], which is achieved by holding {{button|gcn|X|wii|C}} once it has been obtained. When used, the [[leader]] in control [[lie down|falls asleep]], and any nearby [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], up to a maximum of four, [[Carrying|carry]] him to their associated Onion, a minimum of just one being required. | The Napsack provides a quick method of returning to the Pikmin [[Onion]]s above ground or the [[Research Pod]] when [[cave|underground]], which is achieved by holding {{button|gcn|X|wii|C}} once it has been obtained.

The practical application of this is that it saves precious time: additionally, while one leader is being returned to the landing area, the player can control the other, thereby getting a little extra done. | ||
This ability is similar to that in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], which is activated by holding {{button|gcn|Paddown|wii|2}}. Up to five Pikmin subsequently carry [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] away, in doing so rendering him impervious to attacks. If any [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] carry Olimar to one of their Onions, the Onion will spin like it is making more Pikmin, but it actually sends out fireworks and Olimar is safely returned to the ground. This function does not exist in ''Pikmin 2'', even though the Pikmin can carry Olimar to an [[Onion]]. | This ability is similar to that in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], which is activated by holding {{button|gcn|Paddown|wii|2}}.
