Sticky mold
Sticky mold is anobstacle inPikmin 4. It is a circular patch of yellowish mold on the ground that greatly hinders movement. While on sticky mold,leaders,Oatchi, and mostPikmin will be drastically slowed down and cannotcarry objects. OnlyWinged Pikmin are unaffected, as they fly over the mold instead of touching it.Glow Pikmin are able to move at full speed but remain unable to carry things through the mold. TheGunk Busters can render leaders and Oatchi immune to the slowdown effect, but not the carry-blocking effect. Enemies will walk over sticky mold unhindered, but in night expeditions, they will not cross them to reach theLumiknoll.
Sticky mold is maintained bymushrooms, which may or may not bepoisonous. Destroying all mushrooms attached to a piece of mold will make the mold disappear. TheToxstool is able to use its spores to regenerate patches of sticky mold with poison mushrooms.
Some patches of sticky mold conceal and blocktreasures or other features, such asCandypop Buds or the exit of acave floor. Destroying the mold will free whatever is underneath.
