[[File:Pikmin_thrown_c-stick.jpg|thumb|262px|The C-stick tactic being used on a [[Red Bulborb]] in the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]].]]This is a strategy that functions in both Pikmin titles and it allows Pikmin to be thrown much more quickly.
#REDIRECT [[Throw#Swarm trick]]
 
*Simply tilt the C-stick in a direction so the Pikmin are near your captain keeping the group centered around him, rotating the C-stick as necessary.
*Rapidly press the 'A' button, unleashing a wave of Pikmin.
 
This strategy makes throwing Pikmin faster since you don't have to wait the fraction of a second for a Pikmin to approach your pilot to be thrown. It saves very little time on a single throw, but when throwing large groups every second will help. This may also work for killing mature [[Bulborb]]s or enemies with high health.
This is slightly less useful in Pikmin 2, because the Pikmin are thrown faster anyway.
 
*''A note'': it is recommended that you simply use the c-stick to swarm upon Bulborbs in [[Pikmin]], as it is easier, but in [[Pikmin 2]] throwing Pikmin one by one on a Bulborb's back is much more efficient.
 
==Trivia==
*In Pikmin 1, when using the C-stick tactic, the Pikmin start making noises. In the second game, this is replaced by a music that sounds almost the same.
