 ::I have acquired a copy of Pikmin 2. If I find an easy-to-reproduce pattern, I'll make sure to make note of it. - {{user|VivixCore}}
+==Speed research==
+I tried researching how the carrying speeds work in ''Pikmin 2''. Long story short: I can't reach any equation that defines all scenarios. But I did reach some other conclusions. Because getting the Pikmin to cooperate is so hard sometimes, and because I was quickly finding out that it'll be impossible to find a pattern this way, I just skipped some cases entirely.
+===Notes===
+* I used Dolphin and its builtin frame counter to measure times. So, I didn't really measure speeds as much as I did trip times.
+* Timing starts when the carrying numbers change to the destination color with the correct number of carriers.
+* Timing ends when the carrying numbers turn gray at the Onion.
+* I used the 10-pellet at the landing site of the Valley of Repose, and the Blue Onion as the target, since it's the one farthest away from the pellet (longer times = less margin for errors)
+* I'm assuming Blues are just as fast as Reds and Yellows, naturally.

+===Special case===
+* 1 Purple leaf '''with the "capacity" setting set to 0''' in the in-game files (theoretically, the "base" speed)
+** 1282 frames
+===Conclusions===
+* Ultra-spicy spray basically makes the Pikmin act as if it is a flower. Meaning that if you spray a group of flower Pikmin, '''it will not affect their carrying speed'''.
+* Flower Pikmin are ''not'' twice as fast as leaf Pikmin. Exactly how fast they are depends on the Pikmin type.
+** Blue flowers are 1.3838 times faster than leaves.
+** Purple flowers are 1.09193 times faster than leaves.
+** White flowers are 1.21311 times faster than leaves.
+* Twice the number of Pikmin does ''not'' mean twice as fast a trip. Exactly how fast they are depends on the Pikmin type.
+** Twice the number of Blues are 1.3838 times faster
+** Twice the number of Purples are 1.09193 times faster
+** Twice the number of Whites are 1.63838 times faster
+* In addition...
+** 10 times the number of Purples are 1.81591 times faster
+** 20 times the number of Purples are 2.73239 times faster
