==''Animal Crossing'' series==

===''Animal Crossing''===

In the original ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (GCN)|Animal Crossing]]'', there is an [[e-Reader]] card, [[nookipedia:D04 Pikmin Pattern (Animal Crossing-e)|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.

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]].

[[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.

{| class="wikitable"

| The sound of a Pikmin being [[throw]]n plays. Only the Pikmin's sound, not the "whop" sound effect.

| The Pikmin flinch and pose as if they were whistled, all wearing [[Maturity|flowers]]. The sound comes from ''Pikmin''.

| Olimar makes a sound for when he's idling in ''Pikmin 2''.

| colspan="2" style="text-align: center;" | Slight remix of the [[Music in Pikmin 2#Motifs|Koppai motif]].

|}

 

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.

 

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''}}

 

 

 

[[File:Pikmin SSBM trophy.png|thumb|200px|The Pikmin trophy in ''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'' 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]].

 

''[[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.

 

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.

 

 

===''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.

''[[mario:WarioWare: Move It!|WarioWare: Move It!]]'' contains yet another microgame named ''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. Every level uses a snippet of the music from its respective area. {{cite web|https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/1705154974924038168|Tweet|Twitter|published={{date|22|September|2023}}|retrieved={{date|23|September|2023}}}}

===''A Hat in Time''===

In ''{{w|A Hat in Time}}''{{'s}} soundtrack, a portion of the [[Music in Pikmin 2#Snagret Hole|Snagret Hole's theme]] from ''Pikmin 2'' was directly sampled for ''Birdhouse Peak''. The gestures played by ''Snagret Hole''{{'s}} cajón also seem to have inspired the percussion; even a [https://youtu.be/w_-KEXwZoYY?si=W0-LJWxeXFJBP5Bi jaw harp layer] is introduced when the player engages with an enemy.

===''Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy +''===

In ''{{w|Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy}} +'', the Olimar [[amiibo]] unlocks a Pikmin and Olimar-themed aircraft for players to use in the game.

===''Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission: Las Vegum''===

''{{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.

 

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

 

 

 

A [[Bulborb|Red Bulborb]] toy is found in all versions of ''{{w|Nintendogs}}'' on a shelf in the Secondhand 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.

 

 

''Pikmin'' content appears as badges in ''[[Nintendo Badge Arcade]]''. A small variety of images exist, including [[Captain Olimar]], an [[Onion]], and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. They have the same style as the decoration on the side of ''Pikmin''{{'s}} boxart, and the prologue recap in the instruction manual.

 

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. A strawberry can also be obtained, and its model and textures look remarkably similar to the ones used for the [[Sunseed Berry]] in {{p3}}.

 

''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.

 

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. Science Officer &lt;name&gt; has taken a shine to them, admitting a particular soft spot for "the red ones".}}{{cite web|https://www.reddit.com/r/Stellaris/comments/4n7jqx/pikmin/|Pikmin|reddit|published={{date|8|June|2016}}|retrieved={{date|16|August|2020}}}}

 

 

The 34th Maximus Cup of ''[[harddrop:Tetris 99|Tetris 99]]'' is themed around {{p4}}.{{cite youtube|bBPF48EFJRk|of the Tetris 99 34th Maximus Cup announcement|published={{date|4|July|2023}}|retrieved={{date|4|July|2023}}}} The background uses the game's key art, the targeting reticle is the [[Rescue Corps]] logo, the music is the [[Rescue Command Post]]'s theme, the tetromino blocks have [[Oatchi]]'s face or Pikmin faces on them, as well as some details specific to the equivalently-colored Pikmin, and KO'd players have an enemy [[soul]] icon on them. Several HUD elements and sound effects are also based on or come from ''Pikmin 4''.

 

In ''[[mario:Yoshi's Woolly World|Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[mario:Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', the Olimar [[amiibo]] unlocks an Olimar-styled Yoshi. The Yoshi is stylized to look like Olimar, and the spikes on the back of its head have the same color as the first three [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].

 

 

In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] built-in app ''AR Games'', a Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin appear on an AR card.

 

 

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 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|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.

 

[[File:Steven Universe Reacts Pikmin reference.png|thumb|A scene showing the game covers.]]

 

Homestar Runner is an animated web series. To celebrate Halloween of 2021, a game titled Halloween Hide-and-Seek was released. In the game, Homestar compliments Homsar's "droopy Pikmin" costume (Homsar was actually dressed as the Gnome from ''Samorost'').

 

''Inanimate Insanity II'' is an animated fictional reality show series on Youtube. In the 13th episode of the series, "Mine Your Own Business", some treasures from ''Pikmin 2'' are shown on shelves in a closet in Meeple HQ. Amongst the treasures visible include the Sulking Antenna, Nouveau Table, Furious Adhesive, Superstick Textile, Exhausted Superstick, the Mystical Energy Series, Spirit Flogger, Omega Flywheel, Doomsday Apparatus, and the Prototype Detector.

 

''Animatic Battle'' is an animated fictional reality show series on YouTube. In episode 3, titled "Seeds for Suckers", a jar of Pikmin can be seen in the background of the inside of Yoshi Egg’s shop. The jar has the text "jar of pikmin" on it and has simply drawn Pikmin in the jar, with colors such as yellow, purple, red, and blue.  

==Movies==

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===

[[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.

 

===''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]].

===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''===

[[File:M&LSS Olimar Pikmin sprites.png|thumb|96px|Sprite sheet of Captain Olimar and some Pikmin as they would appear in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''.]]

 

{{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.

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

* ''{{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]].
