'''Throwing''' ({{j|投げる|Nageru|Throw}}) is one of the main ways of giving instructions to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], the others being [[swarm]]ing, [[dismiss]]ing and [[Lock-on|charging]]. The player can aim where the thrown Pikmin land at, by use of the [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]], and if a Pikmin lands near a task, it will begin working on it; it will remain idle on the spot, otherwise. If a Pikmin hits an enemy during its flight, it will latch on to it, if it can, and begin attacking. To throw, the current leader must be close to a Pikmin on their party, and the player must press {{button|gc|a|wii|a}}, on the first two games, {{button|wiiu|a|wiiu|x|wii|a|wiiu|pca}} in ''Pikmin 3'' with the normal controls, or by tapping on the screen with stylus controls. | '''Throwing''' ({{j|投げる|Nageru|Throw}}) is one of the main ways of giving instructions to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], the others being [[swarm]]ing, [[dismiss]]ing and [[Lock-on|charging]].

Pikmin are thrown upwards at an arc, leaving spark particles through their trajectory. The cursor estimates the landing location of a thrown Pikmin, but if there is a wall or object in the way, the Pikmin might bump into it and fall short. This is only true in the first two games, as ''Pikmin 3''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s cursor takes into account walls and obstacles, and the line connecting it to the leader changes to a preview arc. One of the traits [[Yellow Pikmin]] possess is the ability to be thrown higher than other types. This allows them to reach ledges otherwise unreachable. The throw arc of [[Purple Pikmin]] is slightly different from the rest: they are thrown faster than the others, so that the apex of their jump is located somewhere above the cursor. When the cursor is reached, the Pikmin loses its horizontal momentum and drops down with a great impact. Besides homing in on [[Enemy|enemies]], when landing, they cause high damage and can also cause the creatures to bounce up, making them unable to move for less than a second, or stun them altogether for a few seconds. [[Winged Pikmin]] can be thrown, though they will not land on the ground like the other Pikmin types do. If a Winged Pikmin is thrown near an enemy, the Pikmin will fly towards the enemy and attempt to latch on. | Pikmin are thrown upwards at an arc, leaving spark particles through their trajectory.
