Tin box

The Tin Box in the Garden of Hope.

Tin Boxes are rare obstacles in Pikmin 3 that function similarly to Cardboard Boxes. Tin Boxes are grey boxes with a 20 written on top of it; they require 20 Pikmin to push.

The only Tin Box in Story mode is in the Garden of Hope, located near a Waddlepus and a Burgeoning Spiderwort. After pushing it, not only is the player able to get into the water, the Tin Box drops into a gap, becoming a platform. This allows the player to collect the Citrus Lump nearby.

Another Tin Box appears in the Formidable Oak Remix in the Battle enemies! section of Mission Mode. Here, it acts as a platform for leaders to throw Pikmin across a small pool.
