Captain Olimar and Louie on a compressed paper bag.

Paper bags are two different types of obstacles in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3. They stand as obstacles in pathways; in Pikmin 2, they need to be compressed to open up the areas past them, while in Pikmin 3 they must be pushed off a ledge and serve as a ramp when they drop.

Pikmin 2

Paper bags in Pikmin 2 resemble plain brown grocery bags that compress and expand using their bellows-like sides. They appear upside-down and slightly compressed, but can be squashed completely by throwing Pikmin on top of the bag so that it is weighed down. Different bags need different weight in order to fully succumb, and until that weight requirement is met, the bag will not change size at all. Purple Pikmin, of course, weigh ten, and Pikmin of other types weigh one. The first paper bag is found on the first day of Pikmin 2, where Captain Olimar and Louie must flatten it to reunite.

The small symbol found on top of the paper bags, the word 紙? (lit.: "Paper") inside a stylized ellipse, is used in Japan to represent paper recycling.[1]

According to game files, paper bags are in fact a seesaw block with a different appearance and nothing to push it back up.

Pikmin 3

In Pikmin 3, paper bags appear as blue shopping bags. Their opening is closed, meaning that the bags form a triangular shape from their base to their top. These bags are found lying on their side, which means their rectangular bases act as walls, and their slanted sides act as ramps. These are always found with their opening facing a ledge, and they need to be pushed off of it from their base. When they fall down, they act as ramps to the tunnel they were pushed from, serving as shortcuts. All paper bags require 10 Pikmin to push them, minimum. Once they begin pushing it, a cutscene plays; this happens for all paper bags.

Locations

Pikmin 2

  • Valley of Repose
    • A bag that requires 15 Pikmin separates Olimar and Louie at the start of the game. Both leaders must use their respective Pikmin to flatten it.
    • A second paper bag requires 35 Pikmin and is close to the first one. It cannot be flattened on the first day, and is the first thing that should be done on the second day (after growing enough Pikmin).
  • Awakening Wood
