Editing Pikmin in other media

{{game icons|p=y|p2=y|p3=y}}

Elements from the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]] have appeared in several other [[Nintendo]] games. The ''Super Smash Bros''. series in particular is well-known for having references to multitudes of Nintendo series and, more recently, those of other companies.

==''Mario''==

===''Luigi's Mansion''===

On the title screen of ''[[mario:Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]]'', there is a [[Beta material|early]] trailer of [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']] that was released before the game's final production. It can be accessed by selecting Options, and then Pikmin Movie.

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

Olimar, as well as some Pikmin, were meant to make an appearance in ''[[mario:Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. At the [[mario:Starbeans|Starbeans]] café, certain drinks were meant to trigger cameos of other Nintendo characters, but the idea was [[Unused content|scrapped, despite remaining in the game]].

Olimar's lines and some sprites can be found in [http://tcrf.net/Mario_%26_Luigi:_Superstar_Saga#Captain_Olimar this TCRF article].

In ''[[mario:Super Mario Galaxy|Super Mario Galaxy]]'' in the [[mario:Space Junk Galaxy|Space Junk Galaxy]], there is a ship that bears great resemblance to [[The Ship]] in ''Pikmin 2''. It serves no purpose other than as a planetoid between planetoids, part of the level. It is not a precise recreation, and there has been debate over whether it is indeed modeled on the ship or whether any similarities are coincidence. The main features that allow a connection to be drawn are the colors, three fins and two bubble-shaped cockpit windows.

===''WarioWare''===

====''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''====

The [[Empress Bulblax]] makes a cameo appearance in the game ''[[mario:WarioWare: Smooth Moves|WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', wherein the player must tilt the Wii Remote to roll the beast from side to side in an endeavor to squash Pikmin. This mini-game is called "[[Pikmin 2]]", and the background music is the music played on the demo screens in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. The same music is also used as the "[[Louie's Dark Secret]]" theme in ''Pikmin 2''.

====''WarioWare: DIY''====

"Pikmin" is an unlockable Diamond Studios soundtrack in ''[[mario:WarioWare: D.I.Y.|WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]''

===''Yoshi''===

====''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.

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]]'' save on the memory card.

''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is the latest and third installment in Nintendo's cross-series 3D fighting game. Pikmin elements include [[Olimar]] as a playable character and the stage [[smashwiki:Distant Planet|Distant Planet]]—a stage based on the [[Planet of the Pikmin]], particularly [[Awakening Wood]]. There are 21 trophies and 16 stickers from the ''Pikmin'' series in this game.

===''Legend of Zelda: The 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.

[[File:Dolphin animal crossing city folk.jpg|thumb|left|175px|The Dolphin as it appears in ''Animal Crossing: City Folk''.]]

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].

[[File:NI Wii ACPikminHat.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The red Pikmin hat.]]

===''Animal Crossing: Wild World''===

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 a clearly a reference to the S.S. Dolphin.

===''Animal Crossing: City Folk''===

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 [[wikipedia:Apollo 11|Apollo 11]]'s successful landing on the moon.

==Nintendo DSi/3DS==

[[File:Pikmin AR Card.png|thumb|100px|The Pikmin AR Card]]

==''Nintendogs''==

A [[Red Bulborb]] toy is found in all versions of ''[[wikipedia:Nintendogs|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.

==''Nintendo Land''==

{{main|Nintendo Land}}

''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.
