Pikmin 3 Guide › Bingo Battle › Using Items

Using Items

When you collect a Cupid’s Grenade during a Bingo Battle, you receive a randomly selected item. Press to surrender your Cupid’s Grenade and use the indicated item. Each item has a different effect, but some of them are powerful enough to reverse the flow of a battle.

You can store up to five Cupid’s Grenades at one time. If you manage to collect a Golden Grenade, your remaining slots are instantly filled.
