*A new control scheme allows control of the cursor by pointing at the screen with the Wii Remote. Because of that, the player can now [[Whistle|call]] the Pikmin at a greater distance. [[Throw]]s have also received slight physics changes.
*A new control scheme allows control of the cursor by pointing at the screen with the Wii Remote. Because of that, the player can now [[Whistle|call]] the Pikmin from anywhere on the screen. [[Throw]]s have also received slight physics changes, most notably allowing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to be thrown slightly farther.
*An updated [[Saved game|save system]] allows the player to restart play from any previous day, from the [[saved game selection menu]]. This allows the player to retry mistakes or fix problems such as the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Libra glitch|Libra glitch]].

*[[Yellow Pikmin]] holding [[bomb-rock]]s no longer drop them when whistled to. In addition, they will automatically try to run out of range of a planted bomb-rock's explosion or throw it at an enemy.

*When [[Mushroom Pikmin]] attack [[Captain Olimar]], they pause between each hit, while in the original, they would attack over and over.
*When a [[Mushroom Pikmin]] attacks [[Captain Olimar]], it stops dealing damage for a period, though it still animates like it's attacking. After damaging Olimar, it takes another four attacks for a Mushroom Pikmin to deal damage to him again; the three attacks in-between are purely visual. In the original they would keep attacking without delay, much like how a Pikmin attacks when latched onto an enemy.
*[[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] last longer when on [[fire]] or [[Water|drowning]].
*Pikmin last twice as long when on [[fire]] or [[Water|drowning]] in the [[Goolix]]'s watery gel, succumbing 4 after seconds rather than 2.
*The player can press {{button|wii|b}} to cycle through the types of Pikmin they are holding and {{button|wii|padd}} to cycle through [[maturity]], a feature which was first introduced in the [[GameCube]] version of ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.

*On the GameCube, Pikmin thrown at a [[Pellet Posy]] will knock down the pellet and then return to Olimar, if he is close enough. In ''New Play Control! Pikmin'', the Pikmin stays idle, leading to it [[carrying]] the pellet right after taking it down.

*Pikmin now only start attacking [[Iridescent Flint Beetle]]s or growing [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] if they're not in the player's squad or are issued to using the [[swarm]] command. In the GameCube version, they would automatically start attacking once close enough, like how [[nectar weed]]s and [[nectar weed#rubble|rubble]] influence Pikmin in all versions.
*[[Throw]]n flower Pikmin now fall straight instead of twirling horizontally at the apex of their throw arc. This also makes them fall at the same speed as leaf or bud Pikmin, instead of falling slower.

*If a Pikmin holding a [[bomb rock]] is killed, its bomb will only explode when the Pikmin succumbs and its [[soul]] appears. In the original game, its bomb would explode right away.

*In the European [[Region|version]], [[Wollywog]]s, [[Yellow Wollywog]]s, [[Wogpole]]s [[Pearly Clampclamp]]s were renamed to to Wollyhops, Yellow Wollyhops, Wolpoles, and Clamshells, respectively. These name differences do not exist in the GameCube game. The naming changes to members of the [[Amphituber family]] are likely to have happened because the word "wog" is considered a slur in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England England] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia Australia]. The Amphituber family naming changes became the norm for the European versions of every subsequent [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' game]] and every ''Pikmin'' game in North America since ''[[Pikmin 1+2]]''.
*The European [[Region|version]] now also supports the PAL 60 Hz frequency, instead of only supporting PAL 50 Hz (see [[Frame#Framerate|framerate]]).
