Elements from the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]] have appeared in several other [[Nintendo]] games. The [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros''. series]] in particular is well-known for having references and content of multitudes of Nintendo series and, more recently, those of other companies. Regardless, ''Pikmin'' content has made its way into other games and forms of media, be it with content directly taken from the franchise, or references.

==''Animal Crossing'' series==
===''Animal Crossing''===
In the original ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (GCN)|Animal Crossing]]'', there is an [[e-Reader]] card, [[nookipedia:File:Animal Crossing-e 2-D04 (Pikmin Pattern).jpg|Series 2, D04]] with [[nookipedia:File:Pikmin Pattern PG.png|a Pikmin design]], which can be used for [[nookipedia:clothes|clothes]], [[nookipedia:wallpaper|wallpaper]], etc.

===''Animal Crossing: Wild World''===
In ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: Wild World|Animal Crossing: Wild World]]'', there is a [[nookipedia:furniture|furniture]] piece called "[[nookipedia:Item:Pikmin (Wild World)|Pikmin]]". When touched, it says the word "Pikmin", seemingly being the same sound that plays when booting up ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2''.

===''Animal Crossing: City Folk''===
In ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: City Folk|Animal Crossing: City Folk]]'', there is 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.

===''Animal Crossing: New Leaf''===
In ''[[nookipedia: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 [[nookipedia:Fortune cookie|fortune cookies]].

In addition, [[nookipedia:Leif|Leif]]'s logo, visible on his hat and cart, is the same logo used to represent ''Pikmin'' in the {{ssbs}}.

In 2016, around the release of the ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo|Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo]]'' free update, Nintendo posted multiple patterns themed around ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' to various social media pages. Patterns exist for all 5 of the main types of Pikmin, as well as a pattern for the face-cutout standee of the original trio of Pikmin. In addition, designs exist of a [[Bulborb]], a [[Burrowing Snagret]], a [[Female Sheargrub]], [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]].

===''Luigi's Mansion''===
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''.
===''Donkey Konga 2''===
The [[Red Pikmin]], [[Yellow Pikmin]], and [[Blue Pikmin]], as well as a [[Bulborb|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.

===''Mario Kart 8''===
In ''[[mario:Mario Kart 8|Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[mario:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the Olimar [[amiibo]] or the Pikmin amiibo will unlock an Olimar-styled suit for the Mii character, with the body of the costume resembling Olimar's [[spacesuit]], and the helmet being designed to look like a space helmet. On the back of the helmet is a [[Red Pikmin]] hanging on.

===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[File:SMG The Ship.png|thumb|175px|left|A representation of the ship in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
In ''[[mario:Super Mario Galaxy|Super Mario Galaxy]]''{{'s}} [[mario:Space Junk Galaxy|Space Junk Galaxy]], there is a ship that bears great resemblance to the [[Hocotate ship]] in ''Pikmin 2''. It serves no purpose other than as a planetoid, and hence, part of the level. It is not a precise recreation, and the main features that allow a connection to be drawn are the colors, three fins and two bubble-shaped cockpit windows. That said, during E3 2006, a booth had an early demo version of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' with a Nintendo representative explaining the game and demo. In footage from GameSpot, the representative can be heard saying {{transcript|There are some familiar faces in this demo actually: in one area you can actually go to Olimar and Louie's ship from ''Pikmin 2'', and you can run around on it and it's just floating around in space.}}, confirming that the reference is intended.{{cite web|https://www.gamespot.com/videos/super-mario-galaxy-working-title-gameplay-movie/2300-6150620/|Super Mario Galaxy (working title) Gameplay Movie|GameSpot|published={{date|11|May|2019}}|retrieved={{date|16|January|2021}}}}

===''Super Mario Maker''===
In ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Maker|Super Mario Maker]]'', players can spawn and collect a [[mariowiki:Mystery Mushroom|Mystery Mushroom]] on ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]''-themed levels, that transforms Mario into a different character. Two of the costumes are from the ''Pikmin'' series: [[Captain Olimar]] and a trio consisting of the three main [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. In the latter, the three Pikmin are next to each other, in the order yellow (flower), blue (bud), red (leaf), when facing the right.

Captain Olimar's costume is available by scanning an Olimar [[amiibo]], or by getting it randomly, while the Pikmin costume is purely random. Each character costume also has sounds and sprites that reference the original series. The following table lists the references for the two ''Pikmin'' costumes. Both costumes use the standard ''Super Mario Bros.'' [[mariowiki:Starman|Starman]] theme.

|}

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}} Finally, when touching the eraser icon, button sounds from ''Pikmin 3'''s user interface can be heard.

===''Super Mario Odyssey''===
The flowers that decorate some floors, especially those in the [[mariowiki:Wooded Kingdom|Wooded Kingdom]], bear a striking resemblance to ''[[Chaenostoma cordatum]]'', the Pikmin flower. Besides looking similar, they also trail in a similar way to the real-world plant. The flowers that make up the flower roads in the Wooded Kingdom also look like ''Chaenostoma cordatum'', but the leafs and trail are not as similar.{{cite youtube|xjCu7R0touQ|comparing the flowers in ''Super Mario Odyssey'' with ''Chaenostoma cordatum''}}

Additionally, a boss in the game called the [[Mariowiki:Mechawiggler|Mechawiggler]] heavily resembles [[pinchipede]]s, bosses in {{pa}}. Both have mechanical segments with purple spherical weak points, flip themselves over when attacked, and overall look like centipedes.

==''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
[[File:Pikmin SSBM trophy.png|thumb|200px|The Pikmin trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.]]

===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
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.

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
{{main|Super Smash Bros. Brawl}}
''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is the third installment in Nintendo's cross-series 3D fighting game. [[Captain Olimar]] debuts as a playable character (referred to as Pikmin & Olimar) and his home stage is [[smashwiki:Distant Planet|Distant Planet]], a stage based on [[PNF-404]], particularly [[Awakening Wood]]. There are 21 trophies and 16 stickers from the ''Pikmin'' series in this game.

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U''===
{{main|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U}}
[[Olimar]] returns as a playable character in the fourth entry of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' franchise. [[Alph]] also appears as four of his alternate skins. In the 3DS version, [[smashwiki:Distant Planet|Distant Planet]] returns as a stage; in the Wii U version, the [[Garden of Hope]] appears as a new stage instead.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
Olimar returns as a playable character, with Alph as four of his alternative skins. Both the Distant Planet and the Garden of Hope stages are available. Many characters from the ''Pikmin'' series are in ''Ultimate'' as spirits. A full list of them can be seen [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Spirits|here]].

==''WarioWare'' series==
===''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''===
''[[mario:WarioWare: Smooth Moves|WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' contains a microgame called "[[mariowiki:Pikmin 2 (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Pikmin 2]]", in which the player must tilt the Wii Remote to roll the [[Empress Bulblax]] from side to side in an endeavor to squash Pikmin. The music in the microgame is the [[Music in Pikmin#Carry, Fight, Increase and be Eaten|theme]] played on the demo screens in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', and also used as the "[[Louie's Dark Secret]]" theme in ''Pikmin 2''. The level background resembles the last floor of the [[Frontier Cavern]] (which also has an Empress Bulblax as the boss in that sublevel), and is likely to be the same location.

===''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''===
Non-Japanese versions of ''[[mario:WarioWare: D.I.Y.|WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' contain 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 microgame will end in in a loss. If the Pikmin reaches the nectar, it will flower and the player will win. An arrangement of ''[[Music in Pikmin#Cutscenes|Carry, Fight, Increase and be Eaten]]'', also titled ''[[mariowiki:List of Records in WarioWare: D.I.Y.#9-Volt (Nintendo music)|Pikmin]]'', is one of the pre-made records that can be unlocked.

===''WarioWare Gold''===
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 has the same music and setting, 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 the Toy Room game ''Wario's amiibo Sketch'', 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.

===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
''[[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 [[Bulborb|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]].

The spot the action takes place in does not exist in ''Pikmin 2'', but it is very similar to the spot the [[Burrowing Snagret]] can be found, overlooking the game's first Red Bulborb.

===''WarioWare: Move It!''===
''[[mario:WarioWare: Move It!|WarioWare: Move It!]]'' contains a microgame based on ''Pikmin 2'' that has three versions of varying difficulty. In each, the player plays as [[Olimar]] (P2 plays as [[Louie]]) and must enter the knight stance and pluck all Pikmin sprouts on screen. The level 1 version takes place in the [[Valley of Repose]] with a Red Pikmin sprout, the level 2 version takes place in the [[Awakening Wood]] with a Yellow and Blue Pikmin sprout, and the level 3 version takes place in the [[Wistful Wild]] with a Purple and White Pikmin sprout.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/1705154974924038168|Tweet|Twitter|published={{date|22|September|2023}}|retrieved={{date|23|September|2023}}}}

''{{w|Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission: Las Vegum}}'' features many references to video game franchises, including ''Pikmin''. At different points, golden statues of [[Yellow Pikmin]] can be seen, wearing clothes, and with a simple red diamond shape at the tip of their stem. In one location, there is a sphinx with [[Captain Olimar]]'s head, sporting the sphinx's nemes and beard.

The house activity for the {{w|Nintendo Labo}} contains a few ''Pikmin'' references. The symbol for the {{ps}}, as seen in the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]], can show up as a pattern in the wrapper of a piece of candy, or in the base of a cupcake.

''Nintendo Land'' includes a "''Pikmin Adventure''" mini-game, in which players play cooperatively as Miis dressed as Olimar or Pikmin to defeat a number of enemies over multiple levels.

===''Stellaris''===
One of the random events involves some of the planet's lifeforms being described similar to Pikmin. The title for this event is called "Nimkip", or "Pikmin" backwards. The text reads: {{transcript|&lt;Planet&gt; is populated by tiny, colorful lifeforms that straddle the divide between flora and fauna. They lack any serious evolutionary potential, but their group coordination and great strength relative to their size is impressive.

===System transfer===
When one transfers their downloadable content from a Nintendo DSi to a [[Nintendo 3DS]], or from a [[Wii]] to a [[Wii U]], various types of Pikmin are seen "[[carrying]]" the data over.

In the Wii to Wii U System Transfer, first they carry the content across the Wii and into an odd ship, representing the SD card used for the transfer. 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 system memory of the Wii U, completing the transfer. The only Pikmin types to be seen are [[Red Pikmin]], [[Blue Pikmin]], [[Yellow Pikmin]], [[White Pikmin]], and [[Purple Pikmin]], and there are no [[leader]]s to be seen.

===StreetPass===
{{main|Nintendo 3DS#StreetPass}}
In the Nintendo 3DS Mii Plaza minigame Find Mii, some of the obtainable items for the player's Mii are the Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin hats. This is similar to the Pikmin Hat in the ''Animal Crossing'' series, as mentioned above. These hats are obtained through the ''Find Mii'' game. Additionally, a Captain Olimar hat can be unlocked by spending Plaza Tickets, as well as a ''Pikmin''-themed speech balloon, can be unlocked at the Exchange Booth by trading in Plaza Tickets won in some of the mini-games.

In another minigame named Puzzle Swap, there are ''Pikmin''-themed puzzles. The first one features one of each of the three original types surrounded by [[Seeding Dandelion]]s, and it is a 15-piece puzzle that does not require Streetpass exclusive-puzzle pieces. The other ones are based off of scenes from the {{psm}}.

''{{w|The Amazing World of Gumball}}'' is a cartoon series that occasionally references video game content.

===''Mad''===
[[File:Pikmin Pest B Gone.png|thumb|A moment from the ''Pikmin Pest B Gone'' skit.]]
''{{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|9ELMFSYwr-A|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 &ndash; the Pikmin themselves. The narrator announces that there's a side-product called "Pikmin Pikmin B Gone", which is basically Olimar releasing [[Bulborb|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.

===''Steven Universe''===
[[File:Steven Universe Reacts Pikmin reference.png|thumb|A scene showing the game covers.]]
''{{w|Steven Universe}}'' is a cartoon series that often references video games and anime. In the season 4 short ''Steven Reacts'', a number of game cases can be seen in the background behind Steven. The covers's designs, logos, and large "GAME" texts make them similar to GameCube cases. One of the games is titled "Pikemen 2", a clear reference to {{p2}}.{{cite youtube|agTKSjDLsjM|of the ''Steven Reacts'' short where a game called "Pikemen 2" can be seen}}

[[File:Mario Movie.png|thumb|The moment when the Pikmin statue can be seen.]]
''[[mario:The Super Mario Bros. Movie|The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' is a feature film adaptation of the ''Super Mario'' series. The film contains many references to other Nintendo franchises in the form of background elements found throughout the film (mostly during the segments in Brooklyn). Of these, only one pertains to the ''Pikmin'' franchise. During the Plumbers' first job inside a fancy home, several sculptures can be seen. In one shot (seen when the two dangle the dog outside of the window), a sculpture of a Pikmin can be seen on the far right.

===Nintendo Monopoly (2010 edition)===
[[File:Monopoly-Nintendo-Edition-Game.jpg|thumb|The Nintendo Monopoly board.]]
Pikmin are featured on the sides of the box packaging for Nintendo Monopoly. B. & O. Railroad has been replaced with a red "Pikmin [[Onion]]". The [[S.S. Dolphin]] is also featured as a game piece.

===''Sgt. Frog''===
[[File:Sgt. Frog Pikmin.jpg|thumb|left|The title card for chapter 42 in volume 5 of ''Sgt. Frog''.]]
The title card for chapter 42, in volume 5 of the ''{{w|Sgt. Frog}}'' manga features Fuyuki in an Olimar-like [[spacesuit]], and three members of the Keroro Platoon behind him, repeated several times over, and dressed similarly to Pikmin. Kururu resembles a [[Yellow Pikmin]], due to the ears, while Keroro and Giroro resemble [[Red Pikmin]] and [[Blue Pikmin]], though it's impossible to tell which is which. Atop the "stems", instead of a leaf, bud, or flower, they have a swirl, star, and skull, representative of the three Keroro Platoon members. Fuyuki's suit has the text "Kiyufu", which is his name with the syllables in reverse order, possibly alluring to how Olimar's Japanese name, {{j|オリマー|Orima}}, is just the reversed anagram of {{j|マリオ|Mario}}, [[mario:Mario|Mario]].

===''Steven Universe'' BOOM! Studios comic===
[[File:Steven Universe Storytime.png|thumb|The ''Storytime'' issue of the Boom! Studios ''Steven Universe'' comic.]]

The main page for the ''Storytime'' issue of the ''{{w|Steven Universe}}'' comic made by {{w|BOOM! Studios}} shows Steven playing a console game that resembles a ''Pikmin'' game. On the TV screen, there is a dark-skinned man in a [[spacesuit]] throwing a creature that looks like a [[Yellow Pikmin]], except it has a pointy nose like a [[Red Pikmin]]. At the top of the screen, there is also some [[HUD]] element with bars and a sun icon, most likely the [[HUD#Sun Meter|Sun Meter]].

{{external|Olimar's unused cameo at Starbeans Café|[https://tcrf.net/Mario_&_Luigi:_Superstar_Saga#Captain_Olimar The Cutting Room Floor]|TCRF logo.png}}

''[[mario:Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' has unused sprites and conversation strings for a few Nintendo characters who were [[mario:List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga pre-release and unused content|initially meant to appear in the café as cameos]]. The sprites contain Captain Olimar and a group consisting of the three basic Pikmin types. In the unused dialog, Olimar would speak to himself about the smell of the new coffee Mario (who he would call "Marlio", an anagram of "Olimar") holds, and attempt to attack Luigi, after seeing him as an [[enemy]]. Olimar was then meant to give Mario and Luigi the [[UV Lamp]] as a gift, but in the final game, this present was turned into the Cobalt Necktie.

===''Stage Debut''===

The Pikmin and Captain Olimar were planned to have a significant role in the unreleased GameCube title, ''Stage Debut''.

===''Super Mario 3D All-Stars''===
Inside the files for the launcher are references to "stages" and sound attenuation data that don't exist in the final game. Some of these refer to Pikmin, such as <code>TestHayakawaVrPikmin00Stage</code>, or <code>VrPikminShip_Default.baatn</code>.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_3D_All-Stars|Super Mario 3D All-Stars|The Cutting Room Floor|published={{date|20|May|2021}}|retrieved={{date|22|May|2021}}}}

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
During Super Mario Galaxy 2's development, ''[[mariowiki:Donkey Kong series|Donkey Kong]]'' and ''Pikmin'' cameos were proposed but they were turned down by Shigeru Miyamoto{{cite web|http://www.gamespot.com/articles/donkey-kong-pikmin-super-mario-galaxy-2-cameos-nixed/1100-6365948/|Miyamoto explains why Pikmin doesn't work in the Mario universe|Gamespot}}. He explained that there has to be a functional reason to include characters of a certain type in a game and that the overall design of the Pikmin, being thin and tall, don't fit in the Mario universe where enemies are short and easy to stomp on.

===''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''===
In the files for the ring-like item selection menu, there is an unused texture called <code>tt_map1_ia4</code>.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Twilight_Princess/Unused_Textures|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess/Unused Textures|The Cutting Room Floor}} This is actually the icon for the [[Sphere Chart]], used in the "Items" page of ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} [[pause menu]]. This version is recolored red, and has the globe's holder removed. A prototype of the game contains the same texture as the one in ''Pikmin 2'', albeit slightly darker and with no transparency.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Proto:The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Twilight_Princess|Proto:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Cutting Room Floor}}

Finally, one model in the game makes use of a texture with "fb dum" written on it, as a placeholder for a material that gets displayed with a shader. This is the exact same texture used in the files of the [[Waterwraith]].{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Talk:The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Twilight_Princess#Beta_forest_and_an_image|Talk:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Cutting Room Floor|published={{date|14|April|2013}}|retrieved={{date|23|May|2021}}}}

==Debatable appearances==
The following is a list of spotted potential references to the ''Pikmin'' series, but whose veracity is debatable. For most of these cases, only a few characteristics of the referenced material matches the ''Pikmin'' world equivalent &ndash; not enough to completely assume that there is a full reference.

===''Densetsu no Starfy R''===
[[File:Orima Brothers.png|thumb|Moe playing the game ''Orima Brothers'' in the manga ''Densetsu no Starfy R''.]]
The manga based on the [[starfywiki:The Legendary Starfy (series)|''The Legendary Starfy'' series]] (specifically, it is loosely based on ''[[starfywiki:Densetsu no Starfy 4|Densetsu no Starfy 4]]'') features a possible reference to Captain Olimar in chapter seven, [[starfywiki:DSR07|Tenkai-koku, Game-Ou Ketteisen]]. At the end of the chapter, [[starfywiki:Starfy|Starfy]]'s best friend [[starfywiki:Moe|Moe]] is playing a game for the [[nwiki:Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]]. According to the cartridge it is known as "''Orima Brothers''" ({{j|オリマブラザーズ|Orimaburazāzu}}), based on the game ''[[mariowiki:Mario Bros.|Mario Bros.]]''. However, this may have only been a play on "Mario" in reverse, rather than Captain Olimar. Additionally, Captain Olimar's Japanese name ({{j|オリマー|Orimā}}) is spelled differently, in that it has a long vowel mark elongating the "ma".

{{clear}}
===''Don't Starve'' franchise===
The survival-game franchise ''Don't Starve'' features a character named Wormwood, a humanoid plant brought to life from magic. While boasting the appearance of a leaf Pikmin, he also has a blooming mechanic similar to Pikmin, growing a bulb and eventually a flower, which increases his running speed.

The game features harvestable plantlike creatures called Mandrakes, who die when exposed to sunlight. During the night, they can be plucked and follow behind the player, if enough are plucked they form a squad similar in appearance to those that Pikmin form, although they have no use. When daytime comes, they will root themselves back into the ground for safety.

At the end of one of the randomly-generated dungeons of the Hamlet DLC portion of the game, a boss called the Queen Womant can be found. She has an appearance similar to that of the Empress Bulblax, both being based off of a real-life queen termite. She also has similar attacks, being able to summon falling rocks from the sky as well as lesser enemies to fight. Her death animation also bears striking resemblance to the Empress Bulblax's, with her torso segments exploding into ooze leaving only the dessicated top half.

===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
[[File:Punis.jpg|thumb|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 [[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.

===''Pokémon'' franchise===
[[File:Nuzleaf.png|thumb|A non-shiny Nuzleaf.]]
[[File:Vivillon.png|thumb|left|The "Fancy Pattern" Vivillon.]]

It has similar characteristics to [[Red Pikmin]], having a pointed nose and a leaf on its head, and its "[[bulbapedia:Shiny Pokémon|shiny]]" form has a red face and "trousers". Its highest [[bulbapedia:Statistics|stat]] is [[bulbapedia:Statistics#Attack|attack]], and its [[bulbapedia:Ability|ability]], [[bulbapedia:Chlorophyll (Ability)|Chlorophyll]], boosts a Pokémon's [[bulbapedia:Statistics#Speed|speed]] while it is [[bulbapedia:Harsh sunlight|sunny]] in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon battle|battle]], similar to how Pikmin grow flowers that boost speed after being buried for some time.

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 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]].

===''ROBLOX''===
''ROBLOX'' has a gear called the "Gravity Coil". This gear is a blue spring and bears a resemblance to the [[Gravity Jumper]] in both name and design.

===''The Binding of Isaac''===
''The Binding of Isaac: Wrath of the Lamb'' features a boss known as Daddy Long Legs. It acts similar to the Beady Long Legs by attacking via smashing with its feet, being vulnerable to attack via the head, as well as having a similar death animation. In addition to Daddy Long Legs, Triachnid (a character from Edmund McMillen's flash game of the same name) is a boss, and shares a moveset with Daddy Long Legs, including the similarities to Beady Long Legs.

In ''[[zelda:The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]'', when an insect is killed, the ghost that floats up is similar to a Pikmin's [[soul]]. In addition, [[zeldawiki:Bertie|Bertie]] and [[zeldawiki:Luv|Luv]]'s daughter bears a resemblance to [[Captain Olimar]].
{{clear}}

===''The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap''===
[[File:Puffstool TMC Figurine.png|thumb|left|Puffstool's figurine in ''The Minish Cap''.]]
There is an enemy in ''[[zelda:The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]'' called the [[zelda:Puffstool|Puffstool]]. It is physically very similar to the [[Puffstool]] from ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', having a red cap, yellow body, two legs, and even being a similar size due to being Minish-sized. However, the two have different names in Japanese, making the reference likely unintended by the original developers.

===''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker''===
[[File:WindWakerStatues.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The three Pikmin-like statues in ''Wind Waker''.]]
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.
{{clear}}

===''Wii Fit U''===

===''Yoshi's Island DS''===
[[File:Yoshersislandds oilmarinquestion.png|thumb|116px|A baby visually similar to Olimar in ''Yoshi's Island DS''.]]
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.

===Televised programs===
*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.
* ''{{w|Adventure Time}}'' is a cartoon series that sometimes references video games. The plot of the episode ''The Visitor'' bares a strong resemblance to that of ''Pikmin'', as Martin recruits small native creatures to gather parts of his escape pod and leave the planet. This is akin to Olimar ordering Pikmin to carry ship parts back to the [[S.S. Dolphin]], so he can escape [[PNF-404]].

===Movies===
*''Bands On The Run'', a 3D animated movie about Silly Bandz, a toy product, has a photo frame with a picture of {{p1}} promotional art in one scene. Given the movie's development cycle of being outsourced to China and the general quality of the movie, it is likely that the animators did not have legal permission to put the picture in; the image probably came up from a simple image search and was used without any knowledge of the picture's origins. 
*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]].

==''Pikmin'' font==
The font used in ''Pikmin'' games for things like the names of areas is ''DFCraftSumi Std W9''. 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}}}} This was removed in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass.
* In one scene of ''Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies'', there is a series of storefronts with spooky decorations. One of the signs in the scene reads "Yokai Tofu" and the other "Cat's Tail Noodles", both using this font.{{cite web|https://www.reddit.com/r/Pikmin/comments/kpnq57/so_i_was_just_casually_playing_ace_attorney_dual/|So I was just casually playing ace attorney dual destinies, when I noticed the Pikmin font in the background, double checked too|reddit|published={{date|3|January|2021}}|retrieved={{date|16|January|2021}}}}

*''Tinykin'': the game's gameplay involves building an army of small creatures with varying abilities to perform various tasks similar to ''Pikmin''. In addition the story is somewhat similar, as Milodane gets stranded on the planet and must use the Tinykin to collect pieces to eventually build a spaceship.
