The whistle in | The '''whistle''' is a main part of the gameplay in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. This is the primary way of calling idle [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], the secondary way being a captain bumping into them. [[Leader]]s can also be called into the group via whistling, but only in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' can they be called via bumping. Whistling can also be used to instantly rescue Pikmin who are choking from a [[hazard]], such as [[fire]], call drowning Pikmin to land, and help Pikmin who are about to fall into the [[Sandbelching Meerslug]]'s pit. | ||
It'll blow some sound waves towards the [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]] when used by pressing {{button|gcn|B|wii|B}} in the first two games, and {{button|wii|B|wiiu|ZR|wiiu|PCZR}} in ''Pikmin 3''. The longer the button is held, the wider the call's radius, up to a size and time limit. The maximum radius (unmodified by the [[Mega Tweeter]]) is about the size of an [[Onion]]'s circular landing pad. | |||

{| | If {{button|gcn|X|wii|C}} is pressed, a different kind of whistle plays. Instead of a call to attention, this whistle is more akin to an order: when used, all Pikmin are '''[[dismiss]]ed''' intro groups of their own type. A third type of audio order also exists, albeit not directly related to the whistle. On the first two games, when {{button|gcn|C}} is tilted, a small tune is heard and the Pikmin will '''[[Group move|move]]''' in the direction the stick is held; the farther the stick is tilted, the farther they'll move. On the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' versions, {{button|wii|Paddown}} must be pressed, and the Pikmin will move towards the cursor's position. | ||

Visually, when using the whistle, some manner of circular shape will appear around the focus point, in order to indicate the area of reach. The whistle's graphical representation depends on the game. In ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', a spectrum of colored bubbles appears when whistling, rotating around the cursor in a ribbon-like pattern. In ''Pikmin 3'', a blue, digital-like dashed circle appears, and if the cursor is held for longer, a transparent cylindrical column grows into the air and below ground, indicating that the whistle is then reaching Pikmin above and below the cursor, such as [[Winged Pikmin]]. | Visually, when using the whistle, some manner of circular shape will appear around the focus point, in order to indicate the area of reach.

Olimar's whistles sound like a normal [[wikipedia:Whistle|pea whistle]], Louies' resemble a [[wikipedia:Train whistle|train whistle]], and the Presidents' resemble a [[wikipedia:Vehicle horn#Automobile|car's horn]]. In ''Pikmin 3'', whistles are integrated into every [[leader]]s' helmets, and sound the same for all characters. | ||

==In ''Nintendo Land''== | |||
In the ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' attraction ''[[Pikmin Adventure]]'', pressing {{button|wiiu|ZL|wiiu|ZR}} or tapping the call icon on the [[Wii U]] GamePad will cause the Mii controlling Captain Olimar to whistle all Pikmin – including the other player Pikmin – to him. This will cause all player Pikmin to stack on top of Olimar's head, which Olimar can now throw at enemies or other obstacles. Pikmin can refuse being called by shaking the Wii Remote. Much like in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, Pikmin can be called from anywhere. | |||

In | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U]]'', Olimar's down special move is called '''Pikmin Order'''. When used, Olimar briefly blows his whistle around him. Any Pikmin that are stranded will quickly jump back next to Olimar, regardless of their distance to the captain. Then, all the Pikmin are grouped by type. If this move is used while they are already grouped, it'll send the next group to the back of the line. Interestingly, this move has some super armor frames, which means that, with good timing, one can use this move and suffer no knockback from powerful attacks or even Final Smashes. | ||
