-[[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.
-However, this strategy doesn't exist in ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin]]'', as the C-stick is now a button.
-*''A note'': it is recommended that you simply use the c-stick to swarm upon Bulborbs in ''[[Pikmin (game)|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'', 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.
