Queen Candypop Buds are candypop buds quite different from the others. They allow the creation of up to nine Pikmin if a single one of any type is thrown in. The flower's spots alternate between red, blue and yellow, presenting an opportunity, with correct timing, to choose between receiving Red Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, or Blue Pikmin. Only as many more Pikmin as can exist on the field are produced; if there are already one hundred, the Pikmin thrown in simply changes type. The plant withers after it has been used once.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- "This specimen constantly changes colors. When Pikmin are thrown into it, it shoots out seeds that match the flower's coloration the moment the Pikmin landed inside of it. The number of seeds shot out is always greater than the number of Pikmin thrown in. It can be said that this is a completely baffling plant, and many mysteries remain over precisely what sort of relationship it has with the Pikmin. It would appear that the Pikmin gain all of the benefit from the relationship... Perhaps it is simply a different variety of Pikmin to begin with?"
Louie's notes
- "Eating this flower leads to spectacular, breathtaking indigestion."
