'''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.
The '''candypop family''' is a family of plants in the {{ps}}. Initially, the family consisted only of [[Candypop Bud]]s, but from ''Pikmin 4'' onward, other important gameplay plants were identified as being part of the family as well.


In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' they have a different appearence, consisting of a large bucket-like cup in the middle of the flower, most likely as a "target" for captains to aim pikmin. They also behave differently, as they stay closed until they are approached.

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.
Scientific name: ''Flora expellus''


When Pikmin are tossed into a Candypop Bud, Pikmin of the same color are shot back out, allowing Pikmin to be converted between types. There are 8 colors of Candypop Bud, each corresponding to a type of Pikmin. (In ''Pikmin 2'', different colors of Candypop Buds are considered different species, while in ''Pikmin'', ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', all colors are considered the same species.)

This particular Candypop Bud is the rarest kind in ''[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Pikmin_2 Pikmin 2]'', as only one is found, inside the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Glutton%27s_Kitchen Glutton's Kitchen] on Sublevel 3.
 
===Notes===
====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."''
====Louie's Notes====
''"This tart flower's acidic juices can burn a hole through a frying pan. Eating it would be unwise."''
====Nintendo Player's Guide====
''"The rare Golden Candypop Bud transforms any Pikmin type into Yellow Pikmin sprouts."''


Onions are large and round life forms that act as nests for the Pikmin. They allow leaders to store and retrieve Pikmin, as well as spitting out new Pikmin seeds. Additionally, starting in ''Pikmin 3'', Onions of different types are capable of merging together.

=== Queen Candypop Bud ===
[[File:Queencandypop.jpg|left|150px]]
{{main|Queen Candypop Bud}}


Scientific name: ''Flora regina''


Queen Candypop Buds are unique in the Candypop family. Their petals are white with colored spots which cycle between red, yellow, and blue. When a Pikmin of any type is tossed in, 9 seeds which match the color of the spots are ejected, giving players an eight-Pikmin gain. After the seeds are ejected, the Queen Candypop Bud wilts. These flowers are generally found in [[rest sublevel]]s of caves, to let the player increase their Pikmin population. They only appear in ''Pikmin 2''.

Violet Candypop Buds produce [[Purple Pikmin]] seeds. This name is only used in ''Pikmin 2'', where this species is the only way of obtaining Purple Pikmin.

===Notes===
====Olimar's Notes====
''"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."''
====Louie's Notes====
''"This convenient purple flower secretes a dark, flavorful oil that eliminates the need for salad dressing!"''
====Nintendo Player's Guide====
''"The most use Candypop Bud turns Pikmin weaklings into powerful Purples. Don't pass up an oppritunity to add to your Purple population."''

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.

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?"''

==Notes==
== Naming ==
===Ship Log's===
The family's name is the combination of the words "{{w|candy}}", given their intense colors, and "pop", referring to the way Candypop Buds spit out Pikmin seeds.
''"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."''
===Mission Mode Tip===
''"Throw Pikmin into a Candypop Bud to turn them into sprouts that are the same color as the flower!"''
 
==Trivia==
 
* While candypop buds in German are called "Königinblume" (Queen flower), the [[Queen Candypop|Queen Candypop Bud]] is called "Kaiserinblume" (Empress flower).
* In Sublevel 5 of [[Glutton's Kitchen]], a [[Queen Candypop|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 state, the Candypop Buds could be the next step in pikmin evolution.
* In ''Pikmin 3'', the Candypop Buds receive 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.

The candypop family is a family of plants in the Pikmin series. Initially, the family consisted only of Candypop Buds, but from Pikmin 4 onward, other important gameplay plants were identified as being part of the family as well.

Members[edit]

Candypop Bud[edit]

The three different Candypop Buds from Pikmin.
Main article: Candypop Bud.

Scientific name: Flora expellus

When Pikmin are tossed into a Candypop Bud, Pikmin of the same color are shot back out, allowing Pikmin to be converted between types. There are 8 colors of Candypop Bud, each corresponding to a type of Pikmin. (In Pikmin 2, different colors of Candypop Buds are considered different species, while in Pikmin, Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4, all colors are considered the same species.)

Crimson Candypop Bud[edit]

Main article: Onion.

Scientific name: Lillium pikminporta

Onions are large and round life forms that act as nests for the Pikmin. They allow leaders to store and retrieve Pikmin, as well as spitting out new Pikmin seeds. Additionally, starting in Pikmin 3, Onions of different types are capable of merging together.

Queen Candypop Bud[edit]

Scientific name: Flora regina

Queen Candypop Buds are unique in the Candypop family. Their petals are white with colored spots which cycle between red, yellow, and blue. When a Pikmin of any type is tossed in, 9 seeds which match the color of the spots are ejected, giving players an eight-Pikmin gain. After the seeds are ejected, the Queen Candypop Bud wilts. These flowers are generally found in rest sublevels of caves, to let the player increase their Pikmin population. They only appear in Pikmin 2.

Violet Candypop Bud[edit]

Scientific name: Flora puniceus

Violet Candypop Buds produce Purple Pikmin seeds. This name is only used in Pikmin 2, where this species is the only way of obtaining Purple Pikmin.

Naming[edit]

The family's name is the combination of the words "candy", given their intense colors, and "pop", referring to the way Candypop Buds spit out Pikmin seeds.
