'''Seesaw blocks''' are obstacles that are pairs of blocks that together, act as a scale. They are only found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and only aboveground. One of the blocks in a pair is low enough to walk onto, the other higher, but still low enough for [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to be [[throw]]n onto it. The block with the most weight on top of it will go down, and the other will go up in the process. Their purpose is to provide access to higher ground. [[HUD#Carrying numbers|"Carrying" numbers]] appear above the blocks, allowing players to understand the weight exerted on each one. In ''Pikmin 2'', the leaders have no influence on the weight a seesaw block is submitted to, but they do in ''Pikmin 3''.

In ''Pikmin 2'', these blocks are made of stone, and the two blocks in a pair are almost always found right next to one another, with the exceptions being the ones near the [[Air Brake]] and the [[Massage Girdle]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', they look like decorated boxes, and the two blocks in the same pair are always found far away from one another. In addition, there is another obstacle called an [[#Elevator platform|elevator platform]] that functions the same, but is presented differently.

'''Elevator platforms''' are pairs of tin cans, bound together by a piece of rope, hanging from a pulley system. They act the same as seesaw blocks, but instead of protruding from the ground, they rise and lower in the air. Despite being possible to walk under them it is not possible to get [[Crushing|crushed]] by them. In ''Hey! Pikmin'' they act as minor obstacles and are presented in three different colors; red, yellow, and blue. However, in ''Pikmin 3'' and the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series they're only red.
