Editing Pikmin in other media

{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Pikmin'' in other media}}

In the original ''[[acwiki:Animal Crossing (GCN)|Animal Crossing]]'', there is an [[e-Reader]] card with a Pikmin design, which can be used for [[acwiki:clothes|clothes]], [[acwiki:wallpaper|wallpaper]], etc. It can be viewed [http://www.animalcrossingcommunity.com/pattern_view.asp?PatternID=27370 here]. (Series 2, [http://nookipedia.com/w/images/a/aa/Animal_Crossing-e_2-D04_%28Pikmin_Pattern%29.jpg D04])

In ''[[acwiki:Animal Crossing: Wild World|Animal Crossing: Wild World]]'', there is an item called "Pikmin". When touched, it says the word "Pikmin", sounding similar to the sound that plays at the start of either ''Pikmin'' game. There is also a character named [[acwiki:Gulliver|Gulliver]], whose story shares similarities with the plot of ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. The player can hit him with a [[acwiki:slingshot|slingshot]] and make him crash, after which his ship parts need collecting. His ship is named the "[[acwiki:Porpoise 5000|Porpoise 5000]]", which is clearly a reference to the S.S. Dolphin.

In ''[[acwiki:Animal Crossing: City Folk|Animal Crossing: City Folk]]'', Gulliver and the same items reappear, as well as a DLC-exclusive Red Pikmin hat, to commemorate the release of ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin]]'', and a to-scale model of the [[S.S. Dolphin]], to celebrate the 40th year anniversary of the {{w|Apollo 11}}'s successful landing on the moon.

In ''[[acwiki:Animal Crossing: New Leaf|Animal Crossing: New Leaf]]'', the S.S. Dolphin, Pikmin and Red Pikmin Hat items reappear, and two new items are added: the Blue Pikmin hat and the Yellow Pikmin hat. All of these items are received through [[acwiki:Fortune cookie|fortune cookies]].

In ''[[mario:Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]]'', there is an [[Prerelease information|early]] trailer of [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']]{{cite youtube|yZuMIIwtYF0|showing the early ''Pikmin'' trailer from ''Luigi's Mansion''}} that was released before the game's final production. It can be accessed by selecting Options, and then ''Watch a Pikmin Movie''.

The [[Red Pikmin]], [[Yellow Pikmin]], and [[Blue Pikmin]], as well as a [[Red Bulborb]] cameo as collectible badges in ''[[mario:Donkey Konga 2|Donkey Konga 2]]''. Each character's appearance on the badge is a headshot of their clay artwork from {{p2}}. The player can obtain one of these badges by winning a mini-game, then playing a {{w|Concentration (game)|Concentration}}-based mini-game, "Match That Badge!" If the player flips over two identical panels of a character, including the Pikmin or Bulborb, they earn a badge of that character. If the player reaches a high score in a mini-game, they can apply a badge to their new score.

In addition, there are also some minor ''Pikmin 3'' audio references. By touching the "K" in the title screen's "MAKER", an effect imitating an old movie is applied, and pressing the letter again will play a sci-fi "click" sound and remove the effect. The sound is the same sound that plays when a player touches the [[Go Here!]] button while it is grayed out.{{cite youtube|MsKVcMG3DZI|in which the player touches the letter "K" in ''Super Mario Maker''{{'s}} title screen|m=1|s=14}} When the rocket button is held down when editing a course, a small animation is played that represents the stage being cleared, and is accompanied by a random sound. One of the possible sounds is a whimsical rocket whir, very similar to the sound the [[S.S. Drake]] makes when the [[cosmic-drive key]] is engaged.{{cite youtube|cTnciHAGgGM|comparing the ''Super Mario Maker'' rocket sound with the S.S. Drake's cosmic-drive key}}

Of ''[[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. Melee|Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'''s nearly 300 trophies, two are based on ''Pikmin''. One features a group of standing [[Red Pikmin|red]], [[Blue Pikmin|blue]] and [[Yellow Pikmin|yellow]] [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], while the other is a trophy of [[Captain Olimar]] that can only be obtained if there is a ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' [[Saved game|save]] on the memory card. Interestingly, ''Melee'' came out before ''Pikmin'' did.

''[[mario:WarioWare: D.I.Y.|WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' contains a microgame called "[[mariowiki:Pikmin (microgame)|Pikmin]]", made by 9-Volt. A target goes across the screen and the player must tap the touchscreen when it reaches the nectar, thus [[throw]]ing the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] towards it. If the player misses, the Pikmin will fall into the water, its [[soul]] will come out, and the game will end in in a loss. If the Pikmin reaches the nectar, it will flower and the player will win.

The same ''Pikmin'' microgame that appears in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', titled "[[mariowiki:Pikmin 2 (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Pikmin 2]]", re-appears in ''[[mariowiki:WarioWare Gold|WarioWare Gold]]'', which is a compilation of past microgames.{{cite youtube|7Jv1toBAt2M|of the Nintendo microgames in ''WarioWare Gold''|m=5|s=14|published={{date|26|July|2018}}|retrieved={{date|26|July|2018}}}} The microgame is mostly the same, but the Pikmin are larger and more animated, and there are fewer of them. This is likely so that the Pikmin are more visible on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s screen.

In addition, in one game mode, Wario can make crude drawings of [[amiibo]] characters. The Captain Olimar amiibo and the Pikmin amiibo are compatible for this mode. Olimar's drawing shows him posing like in the amiibo, as well as the Red Pikmin and Blue Pikmin with him. The Pikmin amiibo results in a drawing without the terrain pieces, and just the Pikmin all at the same level, although the Rock Pikmin is missing.

''[[mario:WarioWare: Get It Together!|WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' contains a microgame called "[[mariowiki:Pikmin 2 (WarioWare: Get It Together!)|Pikmin 2]]", which is different from the microgame of the same name in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''. In the microgame, the player has to knock a [[pellet]] off a [[Pellet Posy]] in the [[Valley of Repose]] using the moves available to the character being played as. Various types of Pikmin appear on the ground beneath the Pellet Posy, and [[Red Bulborb]]s can sometimes be seen sleeping in the background. The music in this microgame is based on the [[Music in Pikmin 2#Valley of Repose|Valley of Repose's theme]].

In ''{{w|Chibi-Robo! (series)#Chibi-Robo.21 Zip Lash|Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash}}'', a "Pikmin" Figure is unlocked by scanning the Olimar amiibo in the Chibi-Capsule machine.

A [[Red Bulborb]] toy is found in all versions of ''{{w|Nintendogs}}'' on a shelf in the second-hand shop. It is only part of the pre-rendered background shots and can not be obtained as an actual item for the dogs to interact with.

In the Wii U one, first they carry the content across the land and onto an odd ship. Sometimes, a Pikmin will not make it onto the ship, so the ship has to reopen. Then it travels from the metaphorical Wii planet to the metaphorical Wii U planet, that looks like the sun. They then continue to carry their data to the memory core of the Wii U. None of the Pikmin types are from ''Pikmin 3'', and there are no [[leader]]s to be seen.

In the Nintendo 3DS Mii Plaza minigame Find Mii, one of the obtainable items for the player's Mii is the Pikmin Hat. This is similar to the Pikmin Hat in the ''Animal Crossing'' series, as mentioned above.

==TV shows==

''{{w|Mad (TV series)|Mad}}'' is a TV series by {{w|Warner Bros.}} with short animated parodies of pop culture. ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'' is the subject of one skit, titled ''Pikmin Pest B Gone''.{{cite youtube|Yxgq3X1J9VA|of the ''Pikmin Pest B Gone'' skit}} It spoofs the typical TV {{w|infomercial}}s, and in it, a farmer is distressed about his crops being constantly attacked. The narrator suggests the use of a product called "Pikmin Pest B Gone", which is essentially Captain Olimar on the S.S. Dolphin and a group of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] along with an [[Onion]]. The narrator explains how the shipment may take 3 to 5 light-years to arrive, referencing the distance between [[Hocotate]] and Earth, and how the Pikmin can attack crop pests and grow in number after [[carry|bringing back]] their bodies. The rate at which the Pikmin grow leaves the farmer worried about a new infestation – the Pikmin themselves. The narrator announces that there's a side-product called "Pikmin Pikmin B Gone", which is basically Olimar releasing [[Red Bulborb]]s from the S.S. Dolphin to bring down the Pikmin population. Now that the farmer is faced with an infestation of Bulborbs, the narrator suggests using "Pikmin B Gone B Gone". This product takes on the form of a blue S.S. Dolphin, but before he can explain what this is, the farmer decides it is best to just get rid of Olimar instead. He then grabs the Hocotatian and kicks him away.

[[File:Punis.jpg|thumb|right|A group of Punis.]]

[[mariowiki:Puni|Punis]] are creatures in ''[[mariowiki:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They follow Mario around, a bit like the Pikmin follow a [[leader]]. He can have up to 101 of them, and although the ''Pikmin'' games also have a limit of Pikmin in the hundreds, it is not 101, but rather [[Pikmin limit|100 Pikmin]]. Some platforms need a number of Punis on top of them to press down, which can be compared to the [[paper bag]]s in ''Pikmin 2''. Some Punis also have spheres on top of stems on their heads, that are reminiscent of both a Pikmin's stem, and the antenna and light on leader heads.

The [[bulbapedia:Generation VI|sixth generation]] of ''Pokémon'' introduced a [[bulbapedia:Bug (type)|bug]]/[[bulbapedia:Flying (type)|flying-type]] Pokémon named [[bulbapedia:Vivillon (Pokémon)|Vivillon]], that has several [[bulbapedia:List of Pokémon with form differences#Vivillon|wing patterns]], and the Fancy Pattern which was distributed via the Nintendo Network from {{date|8|July}} to {{date|31|July|2014}}, has each wing contain three different colored flowers; a white, a red, and a lavender flower. This is a possible reference to the Pikmin's flower colors from all three games: white flowers for [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]] and [[Blue Pikmin]], magenta for [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]] and [[White Pikmin]], and lavender for [[Rock Pikmin|Rock]] and [[Winged Pikmin]].

===''The Binding of Issac: Wrath of the Lamb''===

''The Binding of Issac: Wrath of the Lamb'' features a boss and a boss re-skin known as "Daddy Long Legs" and "Triachnid", respectively. Both bosses act extremely similar to the Beady Long Legs, where it attacks by smashing with its feet and its head must be attacked. Both of their death animations are also very similar. The series is known to reference many Nintendo franchises.

In ''[[zelda:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'' the three goddess statues resemble Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin. The statues all have a pole sticking out of their head (resembling a stem) and the [[zelda:Din (Goddess)|Din]] statue has a nose, the [[zelda:Farore (Goddess)|Farore]] statue has ears, and the [[zelda:Nayru (Goddess)|Nayru]] statue has a crack where the mouth should be.

In ''[[mario:Yoshi's Island DS|Yoshi's Island DS]]'', one of the babies kidnapped by [[mario:Kamek|Kamek]] has a face very similar to Olimar's.

*In season 5, episode 6 of the television show "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy", the episode "Herbicidal Maniac" features one character, General Skarr, becoming a Pikmin-like creature. Billy himself looks visually similar to Olimar.

*In ''{{w|Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (film)|Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul}}'', one of the visitors at the Player Expo is cosplaying as [[Captain Olimar]]

The font used in ''Pikmin'' games for things like the names of areas is ''DF Mo Traditional Chinese''. While not directly ''Pikmin'' content, this font, most famously used in the ''Pikmin'' series, does appear in other media.

* In ''[[mario:Mario Kart Wii|Mario Kart Wii]]'', the stage Moonview Highway has a poster for a made-up musical called "The Mushroom Moon" using this font.{{cite web|https://www.reddit.com/r/Pikmin/comments/b7jua0/i_just_noticed_something_while_playing_mario_kart/|reddit post|reddit|published={{date|31|March|2019}}|retrieved={{date|31|March|2019}}}}
