Jumping Flickbeetles appear in Pikmin: A Curious Wilderness. They jump around, somersaulting on and off bouncy mushrooms and preventing Pikmin and captains from using them. When a Pikmin lands on one, it will tumble off to the ground, knocking the Pikmin off upon impact. Afterward, the Jumping Flickbeetle will quickly burrow and disappear. If a Jumping Flickbeetle is swarmed by Winged Pikmin, they will begin carrying it to their Onion alive. If not enough Winged Pikmin grab onto it in time, the beetle will tumble to the ground and flee. When a fleeing Flickbeetle is killed, it will spit up three blobs of nectar or sprays. If a Jumping Flickbeetle were to encounter a Puffstool or collide with a poison spotcap, it would become a Toxic Flickbeetle.
