'''Miiverse''' was an application on the [[Wii U]] and the [[Nintendo 3DS]] that has since been discontinued. It allowed users to share messages and in-game screenshots with each other, in communities based around specific games. The {{ps}} had three communities: the ''Pikmin 3'' room, which was for discussion of {{p3}} and the {{psm}}, the ''Pikmin 3'' Developer Room, where Nintendo developers, specifically [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], discussed updates to both ''Pikmin 3'' and other important events in the ''Pikmin'' franchise, and the ''Hey! Pikmin'' room, for discussing {{hp}}. Miiverse as a service shut down on {{date|7|November|2017}}.
Miiverse is an application on both Wii U and 3DS. It allows users to share both messages and in-game screenshots publicly or privately to other users. Currently, ''Pikmin'' has two Communities present, ''Pikmin 3'', which is for discussion of ''Pikmin 3'' and the ''Pikmin Short Movies'', and the ''Pikmin 3'' Developer Room, where Nintendo Developers, specifically Shigeru Miyamoto, discuss updates to both ''Pikmin 3'', and other important events in the ''Pikmin'' franchise.


==''Pikmin 3''==
==Pikmin Animated Shorts Contest==
''Pikmin 3'', like most other Nintendo games, allowed users to write posts or make drawings on the community, including pausing the gameplay with {{button|wiiu|home}} and creating a post using one of the two screens at the time the game was paused. Besides that, ''Pikmin 3'' also allows players to look around using the Wii U GamePad, by use of the in-game [[KopPad#Camera|KopPad camera]], and by pressing {{button|wiiu|a}}, a picture will be taken. When Miiverse was operational, some seconds after the photo was taken, the ''Pikmin 3'' Miiverse post submission page would open up, with the photograph ready for upload. The player could then set their mood, and add their own text and/or drawing to the submission. Depending on what was focused, the submission would automatically be tagged with one of the following tags:
On the 7th of November, 2014', Miyamoto announced a ''Pikmin'' art contest. The theme for the drawing challenge was "Pikmin Spotted!". Users were allowed to draw Pikmin in different situations. Requirements for entries were as follows:
*'''People''': If the photo focuses on a character, playable or otherwise.
*Pictures must be drawn using Art Academy: SketchPad, which is available for purchase on Nintendo eShop.
*'''Pikmin''': If the photo focuses on a Pikmin or the Onion.
*Pictures must feature characters appearing in the Pikmin series.
*'''Plants''': If the photo focuses on a [[plant]] or pellet.
*Entries are limited to one original work per person.  
*'''Fruit from PNF-404''': If the photo focuses on a [[fruit]].
*Comment on this post to submit your entry.
*''Enemy name'': If the photo focuses on an enemy, the post will be tagged with its name.
Entries were submitted on the post Miyamoto posted in the Art Academy: SketchPad Community on Miiverse. Entries were no longer enterable on the 1st of December, 2014.
*'''Scenery''': Anything else.
 
The game received Miiverse compatibility with the [[Update|1.1.0 update]].
 
It should be noted as well that one of Shigeru Miyamoto's posts revealed how to input the code found through collecting the [[Secret Files]] into http://www.nintendo.co.jp/pikpiksecret,{{cite web|https://web.archive.org/web/20171018140638/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKmIl3kkJg|Miyamoto's Miiverse post announcing the art contest|Wayback Machine|published={{date|18|October|2017}}}} as this information is not actually detailed within the game itself. With Miiverse's closure, this information became unavailable to new players.
 
==''Hey! Pikmin''==
[[File:Hey! Pikmin Miiverse icon.png|thumb|The game's Miiverse icon.]]
''Hey! Pikmin'' did not have special Miiverse integration, other than the standard community for the game, where users could create text posts or drawings, and could also submit posts with screenshots taken by pausing the game with {{button|3ds|home}}.
 
==Pikmin Spotted!==
