In general, the game has no [[region]]al differences unlike the previous releases, and is instead based on the US version. This port is also built off of the US version of ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2]]'', meaning that unless stated otherwise, all changes from that version also apply to this game. On top of those and the changes common to both this game and {{p1s}}, which are listed [[Pikmin 1+2#Common changes|here]], the following additional changes exist. | In general, the game has no [[region]]al differences unlike the previous releases, and is instead based on the US version.
