The '''Napsack''' is a special item in [[Pikmin 2]], that when you hold the 'X' button on your GameCube controller, it makes your pilot lay down and rest. This does not replenish your pilots' health however. It instead allows you to be taken back to the base by your Pikmin. However, one may ask, "Why not walk back there? It's useless!" , well actually, the pilot should be carried back as fast as if all flowered [[White Pikmin]] were holding another item, regardless of color; and what it does is let them return to the base, while you make the other pilot do other things, so in the end, you save precious time by having to not bring a pilot back to the base manually, and you also are able to do something else, hopefully useful, in place of that time. Only 4 Pikmin can carry one pilot at a time, but only one is needed to pick him up at all. This ability is similar to that in [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]], where you held the D-pad to activate it, 4 to 5 Pikmin could carry [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]], and also made him impervious, or so said, to attacks.

The Napsack is a part of the Exploration Kit in Pikmin 2. Its function is to provide a quick method of returning to the Pikmin Onions or Research Pod, which is achieved by holding the X-button for a few seconds once it has added to your kit. The Captain you are in control of at that time will fall asleep and be carried back by the nearest Pikmin, up to four, a minimum of just one being required. However, one may ask, "Why not walk back there? It's useless!"; in actuality, the pilot should be carried back as fast as if all flowered White Pikmin were holding another item, regardless of color. The practical application of this is that it saves precious time: while one Captain is being returned to the rocket, the player can control the other, thereby getting a little extra done.

This ability is similar to that in Pikmin, which is activated by holding the D-pad. 4 to 5 Pikmin subsequently carry Olimar, in doing so rendering him impervious, though not under control - or so it is said - to attacks.
