Syrup

Syrups are a type of consumable item debuting in Pikmin: Before the Sequel. They come in two varieties, which are teal, ultra-tangy syrup, and yellow, ultra-sweet syrup. In contrast with the gaseous sprays, syrups are liquid consumable items that have a texture similar to molasses. In contrast to sprays, which affect Pikmin and enemies, syrups benefit leaders.

Collecting

• Harvesting the fruit of a Hanging Cocoberry, the syrup received depending on if a Hanging Yellowberry or Hanging Tealberry was harvested;
• Defeating enemies, mainly enemies that don't drop a corpse;
• Smashing eggs.
• Sometimes Teal Candypop Buds and Golden Candypop Buds will leave behind syrup after wilting.

Uses

As with sprays, using syrups is as simple as pressing a direction on the d-pad. In the case of syrups pressing left or right on the d-pad will consume one dose of syrup. Unlike sprays, which affect the user's surroundings, syrups benefit the user directly and give them temporary buffs. Ultra-sweet syrup offers increased walking speed and throw rate, and can be used by pressing left on the d-pad. Ultra-tangy syrup provides leaders with increased defense and restores the health meter of its user, and can be used by pressing right on the d-pad.
