Fragments

To do: List the location of all piles of Fragments in the game. Care to do so?

A pile of Fragments.

Fragments are ceramic tiles that are used to build bridges in Pikmin 3. Fragments are clustered together in piles, and the Pikmin will carry them to the bridge of the corresponding Fragment color, then return to the pile, even if there aren't any Fragments left. However, if a Pikmin carrying a Fragment is called back, that Fragment will vanish, but will reappear at the pile it came from. Also, Pikmin carrying Fragments can be pushed, making them carry it faster.

Bridges vary from being made of 15 to 80 Fragments, and they have multiple piles of Fragments that need to be assembled. Fragments are occasionally buried in Dirt Mounds or encased inside Crystals. Additionally, in one case, in the Garden of Hope, there is a overturned plant pot made of Fragments. When it is finished, it is used as a platform to throw leaders and Pikmin across.
