Editing Pikmin Garden

[[File:Pikmin Garden Logo.png|thumb|300px|The Pikmin Garden logo.]]
'''Pikmin Garden''' ({{j|ピクミンのいる庭|Pikumin no iru niwa|Pikmin’s Garden}}) is the official ''Pikmin'' section of Nintendo’s Japanese website. It contains various articles with information on the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]]. The website is divided into five main subpages: PIKMIN 4コマ (PIKMIN 4koma), 乗組員名簿 (Crew List), 原生生物図鑑 (Piklopedia), 調査レポート (Survey Report), and やってみよう (Let's Try It). Recent news on the series is displayed at the bottom of the page, alongside various links to games, movies, merchandise and other information on the ''Pikmin'' series.

A Korean version of Pikmin Garden was also released, looking identical to the original version. However, it is outdated, lacking some updates post the release of the website. Smaller versions of Pikmin Garden were also released on various other Nintendo websites. These only feature the Piklopedia and the Daily Comic sections of the website, as well as an exclusive page explaining what [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are.

==Subpages==
===調査レポート (Survey Report)===
The Survey Report subpage features various reports on aspects of the world of ''Pikmin'', referencing elements from all mainline games in the series. written from the perspective of [[Minor characters#Chet|Chet]], the leader of the Research Task Force found in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''.

Report #01 details the initial discovery of [[PNF-404]], as well as the later arrivals of the Rescue Corps and the crew of the [[S.S. Drake]]. It also describes a few characteristics of the planet, such as its surface and its climate. The report ends by noting that various structures thought to be relics of ancient civilizations have been found.

====#02 奇妙な生き物ピクミン (Strange Creatures, Pikmin)====
Report #02 goes in depth describing the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] creatures found on the planet. It details their appearances, behaviors, relationship with other species such as the [[Candypop Bud]]s, as well as their various different types, among other facts.

Report #03 talks about the various types of [[Onion]]s, their relationship with the Pikmin, as well as their various designs across the series.

====#04 オタクラの神秘に迫る (Approaching the Mystery of the Treasures)====
Report #04 describes the various uses for [[Treasure]] collected on the planet, such as their valuable status, as sources of [[Fruit#Piktamin U|Piktamin U]], and as a source of [[Sparklium]] energy. It also speculates on the objects' purposes during ancient times.

====#05 宇宙犬と人類 (Space Dogs and Humanity)====
Report #05 describes the history of space dogs such as [[Oatchi]], their characteristics and skills. It also notes the differences between the newly discovered space dog [[Moss]] and Oatchi. The report ends by speculating on the origin of space dogs, including an allusion to the [[Ancient Sirehound]].

====#06 はたらく宇宙船 (Working Spaceships)====
Report #06 describes the various spaceships used by the characters. It talks about the [[S.S. Shepherd]], the [[Hocotate ship]], the [[S.S. Dolphin]] and the [[S.S. Drake]]. It also describes the smaller crafts [[SPERO]] and [[S.S. Beagle]].

====#07 惑星の 地下空間 (The Planet's Underground Space)====
Report #07 explores how [[Cave]]s work. It notes their properties such as the time dilation and internal structure changes, as well as how creatures have adapted to its environments. Finally, the report showcases a variety of different cave styles.

====#08 宇宙服について (About Spacesuits)====
Report #08 breaks down each part of the space suit the crew uses to explore PNF-404. From the light atop the helmet and the different whistle types, to the opinions of the fashion from stylist Puddle, this report covers it all.

====#09 人類の 繁起源(The Origin of Humanity)====
Report #09 goes over the differences and similarities between the main group of explorers we know in the ''Pikmin'' games. It goes into detail of the characteristics each race has and how their planet has affected their mannerisms. After a brief section on the similarities, it ends with a paragraph about the peculiar nostalgic feeling of PNF-404 and how the secret of the origin of human is perhaps hidden.

====#10 惑星の謎 (The Mystery of the Planet)====
Report #10 describes various mysteries surrounding PNF-404, such as the unexplained spaceship crashes, signs of civilization and rapidly changing environments, as well as possible explanations for these mysteries. It ends by listing Chet's theories regarding the crashes, that they may be caused by the Pikmin, by the Plasm Wraith and Waterwraith, or by the planet itself.

===原生生物図鑑 (Piklopedia)===
[[File:-Pikmin Garden Piklopedia Enemies.png|250px|thumb|The cover image for the Piklopedia.]]

===乗組員名簿 (Crew List)===
The Crew List features profiles for characters from across the ''Pikmin'' series. The profiles provide a job, planet of origin, short description, related people, hobbies and dreams to each character.

The characters featured in the Crew List are: [[Captain Olimar]], [[Louie]], [[the President]], [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], [[Charlie]], [[Erma Shepherd]], [[Collin]], [[Russ]], [[Dingo]], [[Yonny]], [[Bernard]] and [[Oatchi]].

===やってみよう (Let's Try It)===
[[File:Pikmin 100 logo.png|thumb|The ''Pikmin 100'' logo, seen on the website.]]
The "Lets Try It" page provides various activities to do based around ''Pikmin''. These activities include a piano roll video of the song sung by the Pikmin in ''Pikmin 4'', printable coloring pages of ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'' artwork, and both printable and video instructions to fold {{w|origami}} Red Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, and Blue Pikmin.

On July 19th, 2024, the section was updated with the addition of ''Pikmin 100'', a game playable directly on the website when viewed on smartphones. The game has only one input: a button on-screen with a whistle icon. Every time the button is tapped, a Pikmin appears on-screen, the number at the top of the screen increments by 1, and a group of children call out that number. The ultimate goal of the game, as its title suggests, is to summon a total of 100 Pikmin so they can all carry a [[Crimson Banquet]].

===PIKMIN 4コマ (PIKMIN 4koma)===
The Pikmin 4koma features an archive of all of the [[Pikmin comic|comic strips]] from June 22nd, 2023 to June 21st, 2024.

===PIKMINのコレなんだ? (''Pikmin: What's This?'')===
''Pikmin: What's This?'' is a video series which shows various close-up images of real world objects, encouraging the viewer to guess the object before it is fully revealed by the end of the video. Each object is the inspiration for a [[List of Pikmin 4 treasures|treasure in ''Pikmin 4'']], shown with in-game footage to end each video. New videos were posted to Pikmin Garden's Schedule Book every Monday from {{date|17|July|2023}} to {{date|8|January|2024}}, when it was given a dedicated page numbering each video.
