Instead, they must be called by holding the button, which will summon a cylindrical beam of light that will call the Winged Pikmin. Winged Pikmin are capable of flying over obstacles and taking arial shortcuts that will save time that would otherwise be lost if other Pikmin had to carry the object. | ||
If multiple types of Pikmin are carrying something that a Winged Pikmin is also carrying, the Winged Pikmin will carry it closer to the ground and will not fly with it. However, if the Winged Pikmin-to-normal Pikmin ratio is equivilant or above the ammount required to normal carry the object, they will lift the object and any ground-based Pikmin trying to carry the object will cling on for a few seconds before falling off. | If multiple types of Pikmin are carrying something that a Winged Pikmin is also carrying, the Winged Pikmin will carry it closer to the ground and will not fly with it.

Winged Pikmin are discovered in the game's fourth area, the [[Twilight River]]. Across the landing site, the captains will notice the Pink [[Onion]] trapped in the web of an [[Arachnode]] on the other side of the river. To get to it, the captains must multitask to construct a bridge out of '''4 '''different piles of fragments scattered across the level. Once the captains finally finish the bridge, they can cross to the other side of the river, kill the Arachnode, and free the Onion. | Winged Pikmin are discovered in the game's fourth area, the [[Twilight River]].
