'''Pikmin''' are a plant-animal hybrid species and the namesake of the video game series they star in, ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin series|Pikmin]]''. These beings inhabit the planet [[pikipedia:PNF-404|PNF-404]], and spend time buried in the ground, with their leaves sticking out. In the series, they are plucked out the ground by the player to use in battles and such. They have made crossover cameos in ''Mario'' games a few times, but their most important role was with the introduction of [[Captain Olimar]] as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

'''Pikmin''' are a plant-animal hybrid species and the namesake of the ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' series. These beings inhabit the planet [[pikipedia:PNF-404|PNF-404]], where they are plucked out of the ground by [[pikipedia:Leader|leaders]] to use in battles and so forth. Pikmin in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] have made some cameos, including at the ''Super Mario''-themed amusement park, [[Super Nintendo World]].

The Pikmin's first appearance in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] was in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. Here, if the golf ball landed in a patch of flowers, Pikmin would pop out. In this game, they come in red, yellow, and blue.
In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', if the golf ball lands in a patch of flowers, Pikmin pop out of it. They come in red, yellow, and blue, which were the only Pikmin colors at the time of the game's release as ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin 2|Pikmin 2]]'' had not yet been released.

===''Super Mario Maker''===
[[File:SMM Pikmin.png|frame]]
Pikmin, alongside the majority of the ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' cast, cameos as one of the costumes [[Mario]] can obtain in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' via the [[Costume Mario]] power-up. Pikmin sound effects can be heard, the "lose a life" tune is replaced by the Pikmin's own death cries, and the "Course Clear" fanfare is replaced by the tune that plays after obtaining an important item in ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin 3|Pikmin 3]]''. Pressing {{button|wii|Padup}} causes the red and blue Pikmin to mature into flowers. When underwater, all three of them are encased in a bubble.
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
[[File:BrawlOlimar.jpg|thumb|Pikmin alongside Olimar]]
Pikmin serve [[Captain Olimar]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Although they are technically not playable, [[pikipedia:Olimar|Olimar]] is almost completely helpless without them, for they are featured in all of Olimar's special moves, smash attacks, aerial attacks (except for his neutral aerial), and grabs. As such, they must be [[Captain Olimar#Pikmin Pluck|plucked]] from the ground. When [[Kirby]] gains Olimar's ability, he can also use Pikmin, but after plucking them, he immediately throws them.
=====The Subspace Emissary=====
A group of Pikmin start to attack a [[smashwiki:R.O.B._Squad#Giant_R.O.B.|giant R.O.B.]] which simply rises its arms and spins around knocking them all off and kills most of them. [[Captain Olimar]] is shocked and scared, however his [[pikipedia:Red Pikmin|Red Pikmin]] informs him of a new visitor. The [[Blue Falcon]] speeds through the forest. [[Captain Falcon]] jumps out of the car, and [[Falcon Punch]]es the robot, sending it flying away. Landing after his attack, Captain Falcon accidentally kills many of the Pikmin, but teams up with Olimar, regardless; and the pair run along some old ruins fighting the [[Subspace Army]]. They notice an [[Arwing]] attacking the ship carrying [[Donkey Kong]]: [[Falco Lombardi]] drops [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] out of his Arwing, and with his Peanut Popguns, the monkey shoots the ship holding Donkey Kong. Captain Falcon and Captain Olimar run to assist.
====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
Pikmin return as Olimar's aids in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]''. This time, Olimar appears as "Olimar & Pikmin" on the character selection screen, unlike in Brawl, where he was listed simply as "Captain Olimar".


Olimar can only have three Pikmin following him unlike the predecessor which allowed six. His up-B attacked now involves being carried by Winged Pikmin. The more Pikmin Olimar has following him, the slower the Winged Pikmin fly.
===''Donkey Konga 2''===
 
Three badges in ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'' depict a Red, Blue, and Yellow Pikmin, using their artwork from ''Pikmin 2''.
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
The same Pikmin from the previous installment return alongside Olimar in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

Pikmin appear in the [[microgame]] [[Pikmin 2]] in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', which belongs to [[9-Volt]]. Here, the player controls [[pikipedia:Empress Bulblax|Empress Bulblax]] and must roll over all of the Pikmin to squish them before the time runs out. However, as the difficulty increases, the Pikmin grow larger and start jumping over the player. The microgame reappears in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''.

In the ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' microgame [[Pikmin (microgame)|Pikmin]], the player controls Captain Olimar, who is holding a Red Pikmin in his hand. The point of the game is to throw the Pikmin onto the rock that contains [[pikipedia:Nectar|nectar]]. If time runs out or if the Pikmin is accidentally thrown into the water, the game ends in a loss.

A trailer for the first ''Pikmin'' game featuring the eponymous species appears in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''{{'}}s option screen.


Olimar, along with a group of Pikmin were going to appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' when a new type of coffee was made at the [[Starbeans Cafe]]. He would call Mario 'Marlio', an anagram of Olimar and mistake Luigi for a dangerous beast and order his Pikmin to attack him.

Latest revision as of 19:45, November 8, 2024

This article is about the creatures called Pikmin. For the WarioWare: D.I.Y. microgame, see Pikmin (microgame).

Pikmin in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Pikmin in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
First appearance Pikmin (2001, Pikmin series)
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour (2003, Super Mario-related media)
Latest appearance Pikmin 4 (2023, Pikmin series)

Pikmin are a plant-animal hybrid species and the namesake of the Pikmin series. These beings inhabit the planet PNF-404, where they are plucked out of the ground by leaders to use in battles and so forth. Pikmin in the Super Mario franchise have made some cameos, including at the Super Mario-themed amusement park, Super Nintendo World.

History[edit]

Luigi's Mansion[edit]

A trailer for the first Pikmin game featuring the eponymous species appears in Luigi's Mansion's option screen.

Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour[edit]

Pikmin in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour

In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, if the golf ball lands in a patch of flowers, Pikmin pop out of it. They come in red, yellow, and blue, which were the only Pikmin colors at the time of the game's release as Pikmin 2 had not yet been released.

Donkey Konga 2[edit]

Three badges in Donkey Konga 2 depict a Red, Blue, and Yellow Pikmin, using their artwork from Pikmin 2.

WarioWare series[edit]

Pikmin 2 in WarioWare: Smooth Moves.
The Pikmin microgame in WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Pikmin appear in the microgame Pikmin 2 in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, which belongs to 9-Volt. Here, the player controls Empress Bulblax and must roll over all of the Pikmin to squish them before the time runs out. However, as the difficulty increases, the Pikmin grow larger and start jumping over the player. The microgame reappears in WarioWare Gold.

In the WarioWare: D.I.Y. microgame Pikmin, the player controls Captain Olimar, who is holding a Red Pikmin in his hand. The point of the game is to throw the Pikmin onto the rock that contains nectar. If time runs out or if the Pikmin is accidentally thrown into the water, the game ends in a loss.

Pikmin appear in the Pikmin 2 microgame in WarioWare: Get It Together!, though they do not have any effect on gameplay.

The goal of the Pikmin 2 microgame in WarioWare: Move It! is to pluck Pikmin from the ground by lifting up the Joy-Cons. On higher difficulties more Pikmin must be plucked.

Winged Pikmin in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Winged Pikmin

Does not attack, but instead lifts Olimar to help him recover as part of his up special from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U onwards.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Captain Olimar
Artwork of Pikmin with Olimar for Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Pikmin serve Captain Olimar in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Although they are technically not playable, Olimar is almost completely helpless without them, for they are featured in all of Olimar's special moves, smash attacks, aerial attacks (except for his neutral aerial), and grabs. As such, they must be plucked from the ground. When Kirby gains Olimar's ability, he can also use Pikmin, but after plucking them, he immediately throws them.

In The Subspace Emissary, a group of Pikmin start to attack a giant R.O.B. which simply rises its arms and spins around knocking them all off and kills most of them. Olimar is shocked and scared, however his Red Pikmin informs him of a new visitor. The Blue Falcon speeds through the forest. Captain Falcon jumps out of the car, and Falcon Punches the giant R.O.B., sending it flying away. Landing after his attack, Captain Falcon accidentally kills many of the Pikmin, but teams up with Olimar, regardless; and the pair run along some old ruins fighting the Subspace Army. They notice an Arwing attacking the ship carrying Donkey Kong: Falco drops Diddy out of his Arwing, and with his Peanut Popguns, Diddy shoots the ship holding Donkey Kong. Captain Falcon and Captain Olimar run to assist.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[edit]

Pikmin return as Olimar's aids in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. This time, Olimar appears as "Pikmin & Olimar" on the Japanese character selection screen, unlike in Brawl, where he was listed simply as "Olimar".

Olimar can only have three Pikmin following him unlike the predecessor which allowed six. His up-B attacked now involves being carried by Winged Pikmin. The more Pikmin Olimar has following him, the slower the Winged Pikmin fly.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

The same Pikmin from the previous installment return alongside Olimar in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

A Red Pikmin appears as a motif piece hanging on the helmet of the Pikmin Suit in Mario Kart 8 starting with the version 4.0 update and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Super Mario Maker[edit]

SMM Pikmin.png

Pikmin, alongside the majority of the Super Smash Bros. for 3DS / Wii U cast, cameos as one of the costumes Mario can obtain in Super Mario Maker via the Costume Mario power-up. Pikmin sound effects can be heard, the "lose a life" tune is replaced by the Pikmin's own death cries, and the "Course Clear" fanfare is replaced by the tune that plays after obtaining an important item in Pikmin 3. Pressing +Control Pad up causes the red and blue Pikmin to mature into flowers. When underwater, all three of them are encased in a bubble.

Super Nintendo World[edit]

Pikmin in Super Nintendo World
A Red, Blue, and Yellow Pikmin as seen in Super Nintendo World

Several Pikmin appear on the artwork used for the bags in the Super Nintendo World theme park land and can be found hidden on ledges throughout and as an hidden animation viewed through the augmented reality binoculars. Visitors can obtain a stamp named "Pick out Pikmin" depicting a Pikmin if they view this animation. Some of these hidden Pikmin are seen working together carrying items such as a Coin and a fruit.[1]

The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a statue resembling a Pikmin appears in the Brooklyn Couple's residence.

Unused appearances[edit]

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga[edit]

Olimar and a group of Pikmin were planned to appear in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga when a new type of coffee was made at the Starbeans Cafe. Olimar would call Mario "Marlio", an anagram of his name, while he would mistake Luigi for a dangerous beast and consider attacking him with his Pikmin.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Pikmin were proposed to appear as cameos in Super Mario Galaxy 2 during the game's development, but the proposal was rejected by Shigeru Miyamoto, who stated that there is no functional reason to include them due to their different body size when compared to Super Mario enemies.[2]

Profiles and statistics[edit]

Super Smash Bros. Melee trophy[edit]

Game/move:
Pikmin
12/01
How to unlock: -
These strange beings are part plant, part animal. They spend most of their time buried in the earth, but they will befriend whoever plucks them, as evidenced by their devotion to Captain Olimar. Each Pikmin has a leaf on its head that grows into a bud and finally a flower. Like a flower, the life of a Pikmin is both fragile and beautiful.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Trophies[edit]

Name Image Game Description
Red Pikmin BrawlTrophy050.png GCN Pikmin A type of Pikmin--which are odd beings who grow like plants yet are as mobile as animals. Red ones are heat and fire resistant and are strong attackers, which makes them valuable when facing dangerous foes. Purple Pikmin are also tough fighters, but since it's difficult to increase their numbers, red Pikmin are easier to manage. Red Pikmin have distinct pointed noses.
GCN Pikmin 2
Blue Pikmin BrawlTrophy051.png GCN Pikmin A type of Pikmin, which are curious creatures that follow and obey the person who picks them. If you take advantage of this trait, you can get them to help Capt. Olimar and Louie. The blue Pikmin are at home in water and cannot drown. Need to retrieve an object underwater or cross a water hazard to disarm a trap? Blue Pikmin are just the allies you need.
GCN Pikmin 2
Yellow Pikmin BrawlTrophy052.png GCN Pikmin A type of Pikmin. Take a nutrient- rich pellet to a flying saucer known as an Onion, and it will produce the mysterious beings known as Pikmin. Yellow ones fly higher than other Pikmin when tossed by Olimar or Louie. Unlike other Pikmin, they're also highly resistant to electricity, which makes them invaluable when battling enemies like anode dweevils.
GCN Pikmin 2
White Pikmin BrawlTrophy053.png GCN Pikmin 2 A type of Pikmin. White Pikmin are resistant to poisons and are themselves toxic to creatures that eat them. Their low weight makes them very speedy, and they can also dig up buried items. White and purple Pikmin do not live inside Onions, so you must change other Pikmin into them by tossing them into ivory candypop buds and violet candypop buds.
Purple Pikmin BrawlTrophy054.png GCN Pikmin 2 A type of Pikmin, much heavier and slower than other Pikmin. When thrown, they impact with such force that they may kill or stun enemies. They're also incredibly strong--one of them can carry an item that normally would require ten Pikmin. While they're more powerful fighters than their red cousins, their slow speed hampers their effectiveness.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U trophies[edit]

Name 3DS Image Wii U Image Appears In American English description British English description
Red Pikmin RedPikminTrophy3DS.png Red Pikmin trophy from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U GCN Pikmin (12/2001)
GCN Pikmin 2 (08/2004) 		This Pikmin has a red body and a long, pointy nose. It was the first type of Pikmin Olimar ever met. In Smash Bros., they have the second highest attack power among the Pikmin. Like their fiery color suggests, they can attack with flames and withstand them. Telling Red Pikmin apart from the other Pikmin is easy: these ones have long, pointy noises. Also, they're red. They're the very first kind of Pikmin Olimar finds on their planet, and their high attack power makes them very useful. In this game, they can deal powerful attacks, and they're very resistant to fire damage.
Blue Pikmin BluePikminTrophy3DS.png Blue Pikmin trophy from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U GCN Pikmin (12/2001)
GCN Pikmin 2 (08/2004) 		This blue Pikmin walks around with its mouth ajar. At home in the water, they're very helpful when objects are submerged and need retrieving. In Smash Bros., blue Pikmin have defense second only to purple Pikmin. They are also able to do more damage when thrown, so don't be shy about hurling them at foes. The things that make blue Pikmin different from all the other Pikmin are that they have mouths and that they're pretty good swimmers. They're slightly hardier than most other Pikmin, and they do more damage when you throw them. So, as soon as you get one of these, make sure to throw it right at someone straight away!
Yellow Pikmin YellowPikminTrophy3DS.png Yellow Pikmin trophy from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U GCN Pikmin (12/2001)
GCN Pikmin 2 (08/2004) 		This yellow Pikmin is sporting some pointy things on its head. Maybe those are ears? Hmm... Anyway, yellow Pikmin are immune to electricity and are the lightest Pikmin in the Pikmin series. In Smash Bros., a thrown yellow Pikmin will fly through the air in a nice curve, zapping anyone it comes in contact with. Yellow Pikmin have big, sharp ears and conduct electricity very well. These two facts are most likely unrelated. Olimar's side special can throw this Pikmin high into the air and cause electrical damage to all fighters who stray too close!
White Pikmin WhitePikminTrophy3DS.png White Pikmin trophy from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U GCN Pikmin 2 (08/2004)
Wii U Pikmin 3 (08/2013) 		These tiny, white Pikmin have bright-red eyes. They are the fastest of the Pikmin, perfect for finding and retrieving hidden treasure. In Smash Bros., you can use them to poison your enemies. Since they can fly the farthest of any Pikmin when thrown, use them to poison enemies from afar. These small, fast-footed Pikmin are white with red eyes. That ominous look they have might give you the chills, and you'd be right to be scared - the little blighters are poisonous! In this game, they'll hang on to any enemy you throw them at and generously share their venom with them.
Purple Pikmin PurplePikminTrophy3DS.png Purple Pikmin trophy from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U GCN Pikmin 2 (08/2004)
Wii U Pikmin 3 (08/2013) 		These purple Pikmin are the strongest, but they're also slower and heavier. In Pikmin, they can be thrown at animals to stun them! In Smash Bros., they're great for attacking and launching, but they've got a pretty short reach. Get close to your foe to make these little ones truly effective! These purple Pikmin are much stronger than their colourful counterparts, but they're also slower and heavier. In Pikmin, they can be thrown at animals to stun them! In this game, they're good at both attacking and launching, but since they haven't got good reach, you'll need to get up close and personal with your foes first!
Rock Pikmin RockPikminTrophy3DS.png Rock Pikmin trophy from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Wii U Pikmin 3 (08/2013) These Pikmin are made of solid rock, so they can stand up to a lot of attacks and won't get hurt when they get stepped on. They specialize in body blows, dealing a lot of damage when thrown, and they can also break right through glass and crystal. They can't latch on to other creatures, though. But that's OK—nobody's perfect!
Winged Pikmin WingedPikminTrophy3DS.png Winged Pikmin trophy from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Wii U Pikmin 3 (08/2013) These pink Pikmin have big, blue eyes and nice wings to help them fly. In Smash Bros., they show up to carry Olimar and friends through the air. However, how high and far they can fly is affected by how many friends they have to carry. More Pikmin will weigh them down. This particular type of Pikmin has a pink body, blue eyes and...wings? Yep, they can fly, and in this game, they can even give Olimar a lift. The only thing is they'll get tired very easily, especially if they're carrying lots of other Pikmin at the same time. Go easy on them, OK?

Blue indicates the Trophy or description is exclusive to the Wii U version.
