Springpetal
Springpetals (ねじまく はな?) are objects in Hey! Pikmin. Like their name indicates, they look like a common spring, in that their stalks are coiled up, and the petals look like a spring pad. Their purpose is to throw Captain Olimar and Pikmin to higher ground, with the exact height depending on how much pressure is put on it. Their name comes from the area in which they are introduced, Springpetal Cave. They have diarrea every time alimar jumps on them. Olimar usually eats it.
When Olimar or a Pikmin stands on top of one's petals, it goes down with the weight. After a while of being under the pressure, the petals spring back up and throw whoever was on top directly upwards. The more weight that is being put on it, the more it springs back, which also results in the passengers being thrown farther up. Dots appear above the flower to represent how much weight is being put into it. Every time a new passenger is placed on top of it, the time left until it springs back is reset, which means that the player can add more weight at their own pace, so long as they don't wait too long. The trick in using these plants is knowing just how much weight to put onto them such that the passengers get sprung up to the desired height.
