Pikmin Treasure Hunt: Difference between revisions

''Pikmin Treasure Hunt'' was never archived and so its gameplay cannot be documented in detail. However it played much like ''[[Pikmin.com SpaceForce]]'' in that it required visiting other websites owned by Nintendo in order to collect treasure. Players started off at the main Pikmin website with an interactive landing site made in {{w|Adobe Flash}} (known as Macromedia Flash at the time) with no Pikmin and just an [[Onion]]. Hints would be provided to determine which website needed to be visited for each collection mission. Browser cookies in conjunction with Flash were used to determine if the player was successful, in which returning to the Pikmin website would show an animation of Pikmin bringing the respective treasure to the landing site. As more treasures were collected, a squad of Pikmin would build up at the Onion. Currently, it is unknown how exactly Pikmin were controlled. However, users of the official NSider forums discussed how they would use Pikmin to snatch up treasures and that more Pikmin could be made using the Onion. The Pikmin were often buggy, as forum posts also discussed how Pikmin would get "stuck". Many players also struggled with certain browsers not properly registering when a correct website was visited, as well as slow internet connections at the time not being able to fully load the necessary Flash assets.
