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]].

''[[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
