Winged Pikmin is Captain Olimar's up special move in Super Smash Bros. 4. When used, a pair of Winged Pikmin appear and beging to carry Olimar upwards. Their direction can be adjusted mid-flight. Additionally, Olimar will carry any Pikmin he has with him, allowing them to recover as well. However, the speed (and therefore, the distance traveled) of the move is lessened by each additional Pikmin that Olimar carries. If necessary, Olimar can throw his Pikmin away before using this move in order to make a safer recovery.
Origin
In Pikmin, the Winged Pikmin could carry objects above the ground, bypassing obstacles and hazards that other Pikmin could not. As with all Pikmin, more Winged Pikmin are needed for heavier objects. Thus, using the same amount of Winged Pikmin for a heavier object would indeed slow them down as depicted in Smash Bros.
