''Same as US site''

= Oddities =

* ''Nintendo Official Magazine UK'' issue 112 claims that Red Pikmin "grow stronger in sunlight," which is not a mechanic in any of the games.

* The French description of Red Pikmin in the ''New Play Control! Pikmin'' instruction manual claims that Red Pikmin are "resistant," but not to what. It possibly is a continuation of the first part (which mentions that they're not afraid of fire), but in that case it doesn't mention their increased attack power.

* Many descriptions of Yellow Pikmin say you can throw them farther than other types, which is untrue, except in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games.

* The Smash Bros. DOJO!! description of Yellow Pikmin says that they "travel in slight arcs" when thrown, which all Pikmin do when thrown. It most likely meant that they can be thrown farther.

* The US ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'' Yellow Pikmin trophy description is unsure whether or not the growths on Yellow Pikmin's heads are ears, when they have been explicitly referred to as ears (or at least ear-like) in most other official media.

* ''Nintendo Acción'' issue 119 claims that Blue Pikmin are the "rarest" type of Pikmin in the first game, which makes no sense, since they can be freely grown like the other Pikmin types.

* Smash Bros. DOJO!! claims that Blue Pikmin are stronger when thrown. This is incorrect; they're actually the strongest when used to throw opponents, not when the Pikmin itself is thrown. This also applies to their trophy description in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''.

* The ''Pikmin 3'' Prima guide claims that Blue Pikmin don't have any unique weaknesses, when they have a lower digging speed than other types. It also doesn't mention their swimming ability.

* The ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' trophy for Purple Pikmin implies that Purple Pikmin can kill some enemies by landing on them that other Pikmin types cannot. This is untrue; any enemy that can be instantly killed by throwing a Purple Pikmin onto them can be killed by any other type of Pikmin being thrown on top of them.

* The ''Pikmin 3'' Prima guide claims that Purple Pikmin only have reduced movement speed while carrying objects, instead of reduced movement speed in general. It also doesn't mention the fact that they can't be thrown as far.

* The ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' "Get to know the Pikmin" video on Rock Pikmin calls Rock Pikmin the "heaviest Pikmin", despite the fact that this is typically used to refer to Purple Pikmin.

* The ''Pikmin 3'' Prima guide doesn't mention Winged Pikmin's low digging speed as a weakness.
