Queen Candypop Buds are Candypop Buds found in the cave areas of Pikmin 2. They function quite differently from other Candypop Buds, as they allow the player to gain up to nine Pikmin if a single one of any color is thrown in. The flower's spots alternate between red, blue and yellow, presenting the player with an opportunity, with correct timing, to choose between receiving those colored Pikmin. The plant withers after it has been used, but will reappear after rentering the cave.

They only appear in Caves in Pikmin 2, often after a Boss' battle to allow the player to regain Pikmin they have lost, although, as usual, the amount of Pikmin present cannot exceed 100.

Notes[]

To unlock the Piklopedia notes for a Candypop Bud, at least one Pikmin must be converted into a sprout from the corresponding type.

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."

Nintendo Player's Guide[]

"Throwing one Pikmin into a Queen Candypop Bud will let you raise the Pikmin population by as many as 8 little troopers. Its petals cycle through Pikmin-corresponding colors."
