PIKMIN ARE CURIOUS CREATURES

The Pikmin—creatures that are part animal and part plant—were discovered by Captain Olimar when he was shipwrecked on the planet.

PLUCK PIKMIN FROM THE GROUND

Pikmin are born as seeds and then buried in the ground.

After a while, they sprout. If you pluck them, they will follow. Up to 100 Pikmin can be called upon to follow Olimar and Louie.

THEY CAN PERFORM A VARIETY OF USEFUL ACTIONS

Pikmin perform a variety of actions when commanded by their leader.

PIKMIN WILL GROW.

If you leave a Pikmin in the ground instead of plucking right away, the leaf on its head becomes a bud, and after a while, the bud will flower. The more a Pikmin grows, the faster it moves.

Pikmin already plucked can grow by drinking nectar.
