In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the player has the ability to '''swarm''' of Pikmin (known amongst players as '''moving the group'''{{cite quote|'''C stick''' / '''Move the group''' / Control all Pikmin with you.|Indicator blurb|the controls page of the ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' instruction manual}} or '''C-sticking''') around the current [[leader]]. This can be achieved by tilting {{button|gc|c}} in the GameCube games or by pointing at a location with the [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]] and holding {{button|wii|padd}} on the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' releases. The farther the stick is tilted or the farther the cursor is, the farther the group spreads in that direction.

Only the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can be moved around; if the other leader is on the current party, he remains in his place. When the Pikmin group is told to move, it becomes organized in a roughly circular shape, that becomes elliptical the more the group is moving; the distance to the tip of the group depending on the movement order's intensity.
