Queen Candypop Buds are very unique Candypop Buds found in Pikmin 2. They allow the player to gain up to 8 Pikmin if a single one of any color is thrown in. The flower's spots alternate between red, blue, and yellow, thereby presenting the player with an opportunity, with correct timing, to choose between receiving up to 8 more blue, red, or yellow pikmin. If a pikmin of the same color as the spots is thrown in, the flower will be able to sprout up to nine pikmin. The plant will wither after it is used. These flowers are found only in the specific sublevels of difficult caves, usually immediately before or after a particularly challenging boss battle. These areas are usually void of enemies, so they are sometimes referred to as "rest stops"; which contain other such useful things as eggs and other types of Candypop Bud.
Queen Candypop Buds are far more common in Pikmin 2's Challenge Mode than in the main game, mostly appearing where the player starts off with very few Pikmin, such as Breeding Ground, Hot House, and Hidden Garden. “{{notes:enemy/{{{2}}}|block=y}}”
