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 Grenade]]s would appear, granting the player with a boost in numbers, or killing off some Pikmin.

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

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. On occasion, Cupid's Grenades will appear, granting the player with a boost in numbers, or killing off some Pikmin.

As the player reaches higher and higher Pikmin totals, they unlock achievements, which represent treasures. Since the player can obtain many more Pikmin than the usual 100 in the main games, these treasures are larger than the usual handheld items of the real world.
