Bag
- This article is about the crushable obstacle. For the pushable obstacle, seepaper bag. For the place items are stored, seePack.
Bags areobstacles inPikmin 2 andPikmin 4. They are upside-down paper shopping bags that initially serve as a barrier between sections of an area. After weighing them down by throwingPikmin on top, a bag will become permanently compressed and no longer be a barrier.
Mechanics[edit]
Bags resemble plain brown grocery bags that compress and expand using theirbellows-like sides. They appear upside-down and slightly compressed, but can be squashed completely bythrowingPikmin on top of the bag so that it is weighed down. Different bags need different amounts ofweight on top in order to be flattened, and until that weight requirement is met, the bag will not change size at all.Purple Pikmin weigh ten weight units and Pikmin of other types weigh one unit. The first bag is found on the first day ofPikmin 2, whereCaptain Olimar andLouie must flatten it to reunite.
The small symbol found on top of bags inPikmin 2, the word紙? (lit.: "Paper") inside a stylized ellipse, is used in Japan to represent paper recycling.[1]
According toPikmin 2's game files, bags are in fact aseesaw block with a different appearance and nothing to push it back up.[note 1]

Trivia[edit]
- Much like withseesaw blocks, if a leader inPikmin 2 ends up on top of a non-compressed bag, for instance, with the use ofglitches, and there are no Pikmin on top of it, pausing the game will make thefraction numbers appear, revealing the leader's weight to be 0.
- This is also true inPikmin 4, exept for the pausing part.
