(Undo: It was launched on April 1st, and that last line seems to have been accidental. Also, there's no reason to ONLY list the Winged Pikmin's requirements, and having it there breaks the flow of the article.)

Players are tasked with amassing the highest number of Pikmin they can. To do so, they click on Onions, with each click generating one Pikmin. Eventually, the task becomes too monotonous and so players are given the chance to spend some of their earned Pikmin on farms and upgrades. Farms will create automated Pikmin farms, that generate new Pikmin over time, and upgrades make existing gameplay mechanics more powerful.

Piki Plucker was a Pikmin game released in April of 2020 and closed in May of 2020. It was the first of a series of experimental titles released by Nintendo to tap into the PC and mobile market. As a result, its gameplay was quite different from the usual games in the series. It was available to play for free in the link above.

Players were tasked with amassing the highest number of Pikmin they can. To do so, they would click on Onions, with each click generating one Pikmin. Eventually, the task became too monotonous and so players were given the chance to spend some of their earned Pikmin on farms and upgrades. Farms would create automated Pikmin farms, that generated new Pikmin over time, and upgrades made existing gameplay mechanics more powerful. On occasion, Cupid's Grenades would appear, granting the player with a boost in numbers, or killing off some Pikmin.

As the player reached higher and higher Pikmin totals, they would unlock achievements, which represented treasures. Since the player could obtain many more Pikmin than the usual 100 in the main games, these treasures were larger than the usual handheld items of the real world.
