Queen Candypop Buds are very unique Candypop Buds; they allow you to gain up to 8 Pikmin if you throw a single one of any color 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 either 8 more blue, red, or yellow Pikmin. Nine Pikmin pop out; however, one was the Pikmin you originally threw in. 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"; they 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, mostly appearing where you start off with very few Pikmin, such as Breeding Ground, Hot House, and Hidden Garden. They only appear in this game.
