Moving walkways are tools in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4. 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 caves.
Some belts are faster than others, and although leaders and 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 thrown onto a switch or if Oatchi jumps on top of it. Due to their nature, they're also used alongside other tools, like Bouncy Mushrooms and fans.
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.

Trivia[edit]
- Conveyor belts, alongside conveyor switches, are the only tools in Pikmin 3 to only appear in Mission Mode.
- Pikmin sprouts will not be carried by conveyor belts.[1] This can be seen in the Battle Enemies! variant of the Clockwork Chasm, since there is a Swooping Snitchbug flying above a conveyor belt.
