'''Candypop Buds''' are large flowers with fleshy petals and are found in all three [[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin games]]. When [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] are tossed into these gigantic blossoms, they spit out new Pikmin seeds which match the color of their petals. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Candypops will wither after 50 Pikmin are thrown in, but this number was reduced to 5 in the [[Pikmin 2|second game]], likely due to the 2 new species. Using Pikmin of the same color as the flower will not count against this limit, although they will be reverted to leaf Pikmin and planted in the ground. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' they have a new look. | |||
Olimar notes in a [[Olimar's Notes|journal entry]] state that Candypop Buds could be the next step in Pikmin evolution, and in another that Candypops could be the same species. This theory is further cemented by the fact that Candypop Buds occasionally emit the same sparkles that come from the top of Onions | |||

===Ship Log's=== | |||
''"When I throw Pikmin into this flower, they are popped right back out. I have named this very peculiar bloom the candypop bud. It's strange... No matter what color Pikmin I throw in, the ones that pop out match the flower's color." '' | |||

'''Crimson Candypop Buds''' are red [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Candypop_Bud Candypop Buds] found in all three [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Pikmin_(series) ''Pikmin'' games]. When non-red Pikmin are thrown in, they will change into Red Pikmin. If [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Pikmin Red Pikmin] are thrown in, they will be reverted to leaf stages, and don't count against the 5 Pikmin limit per Candypop Bud (which only applies to ''Pikmin 2''). In ''Pikmin'', this bud could be used up to 50 times to get massive amounts of Red Pikmin, but Red Pikmin themselves '''do''' count against the limit. | |||
[[ | |||
===Olimar's Notes=== | |||
''"No matter what color Pikmin is tossed into the bosom of this flower, it spits out the same number of red Pikmin seeds. The Pikmin, the candypop flowers, and the Pikmin Onions are not easily explained by current theories of the xenobotanical sciences, and thus have not yet been appropriately studied and classified."'' | |||
===Louie's Notes=== | |||
''"This spicy flower combusts upon contact with the tongue. Keep fire-retardant condiments within arm's reach!"'' | |||

===Olimar's Notes=== | |||
''"No matter what color Pikmin is tossed into the bosom of this flower, it spits out the same number of yellow Pikmin seeds. Current research has yet to produce any theories as to precisely what kind of interaction causes the Pikmin to change color to match the color of this flower's petals."'' | |||

''"Research from our most recent expedition has confirmed the presence of candypop buds in subterranean regions. Considering the micro-ecologies this plant has been found in, one could surmise that it could be found in any cavern, regardless of geographic region. Tossing Pikmin into this flower results in the release of purple Pikmin seeds, regardless of the color of the Pikmin tossed in. This variety of candypop contains robustly odoriferous oils. If candypop flowers could be cultivated, there is no doubt that the plants would offer multifaceted benefits to the cosmetic, medical, and tourist industries."'' | |||

''"Research from our most recent expedition has confirmed the presence of candypop buds in subterranean regions. Considering the micro-ecologies this plant has been found in, one could surmise that it could be found in any cavern, regardless of geographic regions. Tossing Pikmin into this flower always produces white Pikmin seeds, regardless of the color of Pikmin tossed in. In many cases, plants with small leaves typically have limited photosynthetic capabilities, and thus must find alternate means of obtaining nutrients, with parasitic and predatory behavior being most common. The candypop could be considered one such example."'' | |||

They appear in caves and allow the player to gain up to '''nine''' [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Pikmin_family Pikmin] if a single one of any color is thrown in. The flower's spots alternate between red, blue and yellow, presenting the player with an opportunity, with correct timing, to choose between receiving blue, red, or yellow Pikmin. The plant withers after it has been used, but will reappear after rentering the cave.</p> | |||
These flowers are found only in certain [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Sublevel sublevels] of difficult[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Cave caves], usually immediately before or after a particularly challenging [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Bosses boss] battle. These areas are usually void of[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Enemies enemies], so they are sometimes referred to as "[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Rest_Sublevel Rest Sublevels]"; they contain other such useful things as [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Egg eggs] and other types of [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Candypop_Bud Candypop Bud]. | |||
=== | Queen Candypop Buds are far more common in ''Pikmin 2'''s[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Challenge_Mode_(Pikmin_2) Challenge Mode] than in the main game, mostly appearing where the player starts off with very few Pikmin, such as [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Breeding_Ground Breeding Ground], [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Hot_House Hot House], and [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Hidden_Garden Hidden Garden]. | ||

''"This specimen constantly changes colors. When Pikmin are thrown into it, it shoots out seeds that match the flower's coloration the moment the Pikmin landed inside of it. The number of seeds shot out is always greater than the number of Pikmin thrown in. It can be said that this is a completely baffling plant, and many mysteries remain over precisely what sort of relationship it has with the Pikmin. It would appear that the Pikmin gain all of the benefit from the relationship... Perhaps it is simply a different variety of Pikmin to begin with?"'' | |||

==Trivia== | |||
Queen Candypop Buds | * While candypop buds in German are called "Königinblume" (Queen flower), the [[Queen Candypop Bud]] is called "Kaiserinblume" (Empress flower). | ||
* In Sublevel 5 of [[Glutton's Kitchen]], a [[Queen Candypop Bud]] may fall from the ceiling. If you look closely, you can see that it has a green root. There are also several Candypop Buds in Sublevel 6 of [[Bulblax Kingdom]]. Here, if you go into close-up view, and if the Candypop Bud is distant enough, you may see a root. | |||
* Yellow Pikmin holding bomb-rocks cannot be thrown into Candypop Buds. | |||
* Like the [[Creature Montage]] notes said, the candypop buds could be the next step in pikmin evolution. | |||
* In ''Pikmin 3'', the Candypop Buds also recieve a more mechanical look, although not as much as the [[Onion]]s. | |||
* In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', if a [[captain]] enters the vicinity of a Candypop Bud, it will open, and when they leave it will close once again. | |||
* Thrown [[captains]] will simply slide off of the Candypop Buds. | |||
* The roots of vanished Candypop Buds remain in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', while they never have in previous games. | |||
