Cardboard box

A Cardboard Box in Pikmin.

Cardboard Boxes are obstacles in Pikmin and Pikmin 3. In Pikmin, one can be found in every area except for The Forest Navel and The Distant Spring. They usually block a pathway and take a minimum of ten Pikmin to push. Once moved, if it is next to a ramp, a box can be walked upon and act as a bridge. Bomb-rocks can be found inside the box at The Impact Site, after the first day, as well as in the one found in The Final Trial in Challenge Mode. In Pikmin 3, the only Cardboard Box is in the Tropical Wilds.

Locations

One appears in the Impact Site as an obstacle, and once the Red Pikmin push it, it becomes a platform to get to the giant tree stump where some Pellets are. Other times, a Mamuta is or Goolix is there.

One also appears in the Forest of Hope as an obstacle. It blocks the field where the trio of Burrowing Snagrets are. Blue Pikmin are needed to push the box.

Another one appears in The Final Trial, blocking the way to Emperor Bulblax's arena. Red Pikmin can be used to push it by running them over the path that is covered in fire geysers, but Yellow Pikmin can also be thrown over the side of the metal wall that is seperating the box from the player.

In Pikmin 3, there is a Cardboard Box that needs 20 Pikmin to push out of the way in the Tropical Wilds. It is near where Alph landed; it separates him from the S.S. Drake.
