The '''clipboard''' is an [[obstacle]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It functions very differently in each game.


In ''Pikmin 3'', it is a wooden board with a pink handle on it, and it is connected to the terrain by a hinge. It can be lifted by the handle, where it either opens something concealed, or serves as a bridge to cross a gap with. Eight [[Winged Pikmin]] are required to lift a clipboard. When they finish lifting it, they will naturally follow a path back to the [[leader]], but if they are [[whistle]]d before reaching the leader, they will use the regular path-finding algorithm, which could result in them getting stuck behind the newly-lifted clipboard. Hence, it is advised to not whistle the Pikmin after they have finished lifting the board.
The Clipboard is a fairly rare [[Obstacle]] foudn a few times is story mode, requiring only 8 [[Winged Pikmin]] to lift it. They mainly appear in the [[Twilight River]] and either contain [[Fragments]] or a batch of [[Dwarf Orange Bulborb|Dwarf Orange Bulborbs]], the [[Winged Pikmin]] hold onto it much like a [[Gate|Bamboo Gate]] though they don't have to hold it until they are called off, some players may see them as ramps, however that is not the case. The Clipboard also appears once in the [[Garden of Hope]], on the path to the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]].
 
In ''Pikmin 4'', clipboards are metal boards which start in an angled position, with either a grey handle or a yellow handle. Pikmin can be thrown up to the handle from below, and once a certain amount are holding it, the clipboard will be pulled down and can be used as a bridge to cross the gap the clipboard was over. Clipboards with grey handles can be reached by all Pikmin types, while clipboards with yellow handles can only be reached by [[Yellow Pikmin]], [[Winged Pikmin]], or [[Glow Pikmin]] using a Glowmob. Some clipboards require 10 Pikmin to bring down and some require 20; once this number is reached, the Pikmin will jump off and land close to where they were thrown.
