Paper Bags are obstacles in the Pikmin series. They first appear in Pikmin 2 and return in both Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4. They block access to areas, similarly to cardboard boxes, and must be compressed by the weight of enough Pikmin to open up the areas beyond them. Throwing Purple Pikmin on a Paper Bag means fewer Pikmin have to be thrown on, since Purple Pikmin weigh the equivalent of ten Pikmin. Once a Paper Bag is decompressed, it is flattened permanently, becoming only a part of the scenery.
