'''Moving walkways''' are [[tool]]s in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. They are silver conveyor belts that constantly move in a certain direction, and their direction can be switched by activating a [[switch]]. Objects on top of one are carried along the belt until they reach static land or fall off, sometimes into the [[pit]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', they are found only in the [[Mission Mode]] stage [[Clockwork Chasm]], while in ''Pikmin 4'' they are found in several [[cave]]s.

'''Conveyor belts''' are exceedingly rare [[obstacle]]s found in {{p3}}. They are found only in [[Mission Mode]], and then only in [[Clockwork Chasm]]. They are silver pathways that automatically and constantly move in one direction, serving as one-way passages of sorts. Objects on top of one are carried along the belt until they reach static land or fall into the [[abyss]]. Although [[leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are fast enough to cross most conveyor belts against the flow, Pikmin will only [[carry]] objects with the flow. The direction of a belt can be reversed if a leader or Pikmin is [[throw]]n onto a corresponding switch.


Some belts are faster than others, and although [[leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are fast enough to cross against the slower ones, faster ones may make it impossible to go against the flow other than by [[Oatchi]]'s [[rush]]. Regardless of speed, Pikmin will only [[carry]] objects with the flow. The direction of all belts in the stage can be reversed if a Pikmin, leader or [[pikpik carrot]] is [[throw]]n onto a [[switch]] or if [[Oatchi]] jumps on top of it. Due to their nature, they're also used alongside other tools, like [[Bouncy Mushroom]]s and [[fan]]s.
==Conveyor switch==
 
Located throughout the stage are '''conveyor switches''' that are used to reverse the flow of all of the conveyor belts{{cite youtube|B3NKq7ukSHg| of the stage around the time of a switch press.|m=7}}. The device is simply a platform with two round buttons facing upward – one blue and one yellow. One of the buttons will be depressed and the other will be popped out upward. The button that is pressed down will also emit a light. Leaders or Pikmin can be thrown on top of the button that is popped out in order to press it, which will not only revert the flow, but also pop out the other button. Conveyor belts are lined with small lights that always match the color of the depressed button. Changing one conveyor switch changes all switches in the stage.
The conveyor belts in Clockwork Chasm are used as the stage's main gimmick; so much so that the leaders and a blob of nectar begin on top of one on the Collect Treasure! mission, which carries them to the main platform. They mostly provide a strategy element to the stage, since players have to plan out their usual routine, but also have to coordinate when and where the conveyor belts must be switched, to help Pikmin move quicker or open up paths. In this stage, there are 22 belts in the Collect Treasure! mission, and 18 in the Battle Enemies! mission.

Conveyor belts only appear in [[Clockwork Chasm]], however, they serve as the main focus of the mission, in which the player must plan around the conveyor belts in order to accomplish the goal. There are 22 in the Collect Treasure! mission, and 18 in the Battle Enemies! mission.

*Conveyor belts, alongside conveyor switches, are the only tools in ''Pikmin 3'' to only appear in Mission Mode.
