In {{p3}}, Pikmin that already exist idling when the player enters the area do not actually help other Pikmin that are carrying objects. It's not until the player adds them to the group and makes them idle again that they behave as expected. This can be seen easily in [[River]] by having Blue Pikmin carry the [[Astringent Clump]] past the starting Red Pikmin.

[[Glow Pikmin]] do not become idle, as they will teleport directly to the player a few seconds after completing a task.
[[Glow Pikmin]] that become idle will quickly teleport directly into the active leader's squad.

In {{p1}} and {{p2}}, a total counter of idle Pikmin is displayed on the [[radar]] screens. This counter is labelled with the text "FREE", and is separate from the [[squad]] and [[Onion]] counters; in ''Pikmin 2'', the text is also accompanied by an icon showing an idle Pikmin. In {{p3}}, idle Pikmin are displayed on a separate counter labeled "Idle" on the [[Pikmin Info]] screen on the [[KopPad]]. In {{p4}}, the number of idle Pikmin can be seen right above the counter of Pikmin in your squad and on the field, accompanied by a silhouette of an idle Pikmin, though this feature is locked behind an upgrade that requires raw materials to unlock. Players are advised to keep an eye on these counters, especially nearing the end of each [[day]], as idle Pikmin that are not by an Onion at the end of the day will be left behind at [[sunset]].
