**The cursor is composed of a large pointed ring and a smaller segmented spinning ring inside. The large ring follows the Wii Remote's pointer, and the segmented ring cannot go past a small range around the leader; this is the location Pikmin land on when [[throw]]n.

*The main "bodies" of the Pikmin's souls are now tinted to match their type, similar to how Pikmin souls look in ''Pikmin 2''. The light blue glow and trails Pikmin souls leave behind are unchanged.
*Some bubbles are fused together into one such as the ones that say "Best 5", "Challenge", "Ship Parts", "Pikmin Population", and "Final Analysis". In addition, the text on the [[Challenge Mode menu]] that says "It's the single day challenge mode!" is all in a single line as opposed to two.

*The [[credits]] play differently; instead of going from the bottom of the screen to the top, they "roll" across the surface of the planet. Meteors will also occasionally pass the screen in the background.

*Some sound effects are played by the Wii Remote speaker: [[whistle]], [[dismiss]] sound, the [[swarm]]ing theme, [[punch]]es, the elastic noise when stretching a buried Pikmin to [[pluck]] it, the sounds played when panning and zooming the [[radar]], the whistle when under an [[Onion]], the sound that plays when toggling the held Pikmin type, the noise that plays when damage is taken, the "low [[health]]" beeps, and the jingle that plays when a task is complete.

*Some enemy sound effects are different, notably more "squeaky". This is because they have the wrong sample rate, making them play sped up around 6 times. The European and Korean releases fix most of these problems, which was later carried over to the [[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch port of the game]] in all regions.
