=== Idler's Alert ===

{{infobox upgrade

}}

The Idler's Alert is a piece of gear which calls all idle Pikmin to the location it was used. It does not cure status effects from Pikmin, and does not affect [[Oatchi]].

=== Rush Boots ===

{{infobox upgrade

}}

The Rush Boots can be obtained by defeating the [[Empress Bulblax]] in the [[Frontier Cavern]], and collecting the [[Repugnant Appendage]]. It is a modification to the [[leader]]s' footwear that allows them to run more quickly, around 1.3 times faster,{{cite youtube|TdI0nSfJO_8|comparing the same trek with and without the Rush Boots|published={{date|12|April|2019}}|retrieved={{date|12|April|2019}}}} or at around the same speed as flowered [[White Pikmin]]. The Rush Boots also renders the blowing attack of [[Puffy Blowhog|Puffy]] and [[Withering Blowhog]]s ineffective against leaders (in ''Pikmin 2'' only; this effect requires the [[#Brace Boots|Brace Boots]] in ''Pikmin 4''). The ship explains both functions as the result of lowered air resistance. It can provide to be a minor hindrance however, as the Pikmin's speed is not increased alongside the leader's, so they fall behind, are harder to control and often get stuck when going around corners.

With this upgrade, there is no need to worry about being hurt when destroying [[fire geyser]]s, or fighting enemies such as the [[Fiery Blowhog]] or [[Fiery Bulblax]]. However, the [[Titan Dweevil]]'s Flare Cannon will still be able to stun leaders, even if it does not harm them.
