Editing Update

{{for|the upgrades leaders get throughout the games|gear}}

Software updates are typically meant to fix [[glitch]]es, though some may also change gameplay or [[controls|control]] elements, or add additional content.

==In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2''==

Due to the inability to modify the game after it has been printed to a physical disc, updates to these games are only available as new discs made after the initial release. A number, both physically etched on the inside and present within the game data, denotes which version of the game the disc contains. '''0''' represents the initial release, while '''1''', '''2''', or more represents the number of times the game has had a version update. These numbers are also commonly known as 1.00, 1.01, or 1.02 respectively.

===Known game disc versions by region===

===List of ''Pikmin 3'' updates===

====Version 1.1.0====

* This update adds SpotPass and [[Miiverse]] compatibility, as well as the ability to view world record scores for game completion.

** [[Shaded Garden Remix]]

====Version 1.3.0====

* This update provides for free one of the new five Collect treasure! stages and one of the new five Battle enemies! stages. The stage [[Fortress of Festivity]] is given free of charge in both modes, upon updating.

** Other stages function differently, with one stage being partially two-dimensional. One stage, however, is a re-skin of [[The Forest Navel]], probably due to the fact that it is the only [[area]] not "remade" in ''Pikmin 2'' – its name, [[Forgotten Cove]], further accentuates this.

** Olimar and Louie are playable in certain stages. Olimar is available from the start, but Louie is usually trapped or being held by an enemy. By defeating the enemy and carrying Louie back to the SPERO, the player gains access to him.

====Version 2.0.0====

{{game help|p3|What about moving and throwing and such? Also, add the remaining controls for other control schemes. Finally, confirm all strings.}}

* This update offers a new [[Controls|control]] mode involving the GamePad, using only the touchscreen and the left-side buttons and sticks. This mode works similar to the control scheme from ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''. When playing with the new Stylus mode, 3 buttons are added to the touchpad, used for deploying [[ultra-spicy spray]], [[dismiss]]ing the squad or ordering them to [[charge]], and accessing the KopPad's apps. To switch between leaders, the player must tap their icon. The [[whistle]] button is moved from {{button|wiiu|zr}} to {{button|wiiu|l}}. Other controls remain the same.

* When [[Lock-on|locked-on]], two new lines of text appear, saying "{{button|wii|z|wiiu|zl}} = Cancel Lock On" and {{button|wiiu|b|wii|nunchukshake}} = Charge". When an explorer is under the Go Here function, if the player switches to them, a message will appear saying "{{button|wii|b|wiiu|b}} = Cancel Go Here". The background on the "{{button|wii|+|wiiu|+}} Skip Cutscene" label was now changed to black instead of transparent.

==In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''==

===List of ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' updates===

====Version 1.1.0====

Released on {{date|24|November|2020}}.

* In addition, there are reports of the gyro capabilities behaving differently after this update, including the cursor becoming stuck in the corner after most [[cutscene]]s, or the sensitivity being increased.{{cite web|https://www.reddit.com/r/Pikmin/comments/k7pvsv/my_cursor_is_very_sensitive_and_i_dont_know_why/|My cursor is very sensitive and I don't know why.
