The destination of a carried item depends on what the item is and what Pikmin types are carrying it. In most cases, the destination is a [[Ship (disambiguation)|ship]] or an [[Onion]]; for a full list, see the [[#Objects|Objects section]] of this article. To reach this destination, Pikmin will follow a path between various waypoints around the [[area]]. They will normally try to follow the shortest path available. If the only path is blocked by a [[gate]] or a gap with a missing [[bridge]], the Pikmin will start walking in a circle in front of the obstacle, waiting for it to be cleared.{{cite quote|The Pikmin that are carrying our spoils seem to be milling about in one place with their loads. It appears that their path back to the Onion is blocked, and faced with what seems to be an insurmountable obstacle, they have lost their focus. This is unacceptable. I will have to determine what is blocking their way and do what I can to resolve the problem.|Captain Olimar|a [[Olimar's monologs|monolog]]}}

Each object has a [[weight]] and maximum number of carrier Pikmin. If the combined strength of the Pikmin is less than the weight, it cannot be carried. If the maximum number of carriers is already met, any new Pikmin will ignore the object. The "strength" is the total calculated Pikmin strength, so Purple Pikmin count 10 towards this number, instead of 1 like all others.
