In ''{{w|A Hat in Time}}''{{'s}} soundtrack, a portion of the [[Music in Pikmin 2#Snagret Hole|Snagret Hole's theme]] from ''Pikmin 2'' was directly sampled for ''Birdhouse Peak''. The gestures played by ''Snagret Hole''{{'s}} cajón also seem to have inspired the percussion; even a [https://youtu.be/w_-KEXwZoYY?si=W0-LJWxeXFJBP5Bi jaw harp layer] is introduced when the player engages with an enemy.

In ''[[zelda:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'' the three goddess statues resemble Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin. The statues all have a pole sticking out of their head (resembling a stem) and the [[zelda:Din (Goddess)|Din]] statue has a nose, the [[zelda:Farore (Goddess)|Farore]] statue has ears, and the [[zelda:Nayru (Goddess)|Nayru]] statue has a crack where the mouth should be.

Each goddess also corresponds to a specific classical element, and Din in particular is associated with fire, Farore is associated with wind, and Nayru is associated with water, which could be an allusion to the Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin's abilities of being immune to fire, being thrown higher, and being immune to water respectively.
