The [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] have a variety of '''controls''' used to control the game's [[menu]]s, [[leader]]s, [[camera]] and gameplay mechanics. These controls come in the form of button presses and releases, analog stick tilts, [[Wii]] Remote pointer movements, gyroscope movements, and touchscreen touches.

==''Pikmin''==
! Boss Battles
The first title in the franchise is played on the [[GameCube]], and hence, with the GameCube controller. The ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin]]'' version is played using the [[Wii]] Remote and the Nunchuk, and most button inputs are edited accordingly. In the [[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch port]], the controls are more faithful to the GameCube version than ''New Play Control! Pikmin'', though the inputs themselves are very similar to {{p3d}}.

===Onions===
*Pressing up or down on the D-Pad or main Analog Stick of the controller allows the player to change the amount of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] of that type in the party. Missing or excessive Pikmin will be automatically withdrawn or stored accordingly. Up increases the amount of Pikmin in the Onion, while down increases the amount in the group.
*Pressing the punch button confirms the choice.
*Pressing the whistle button cancels.

==''Pikmin 2''==
The sequel retains many of the controls from the first game, but with some additions and changes. Unless otherwise stated, many controls are identical to ''Pikmin''. Like the first game, the original GameCube version is played using a GameCube controller, the ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2]]'' version is played with the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk, and the [[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch version]] uses a control scheme similar to {{p3d}}.

==''Pikmin 3''==
''Pikmin 3'' allows for four ways to control the game. The player can use the the GamePad's buttons, the Wii Remote + Nunchuk, the Wii U Pro Controller, or, as of [[Update|version 2.0.0]], the GamePad's touchscreen; the latter is known as "Stylus Mode". The Wii Classic Controller is not supported. When the player uses a control from a controller different from the one they're currently using, a message will appear on-screen saying the main controller has changed, and the player is then allowed to use that controller from there on out. The exception to this is {{button|wiiu|-}}.
 
In addition, the player can toggle Off-TV Play with {{button|wiiu|-}}. While Off-TV Play mode is on, the TV screen will display some Pikmin moving from right to left on a black screen, with the message "Look at the GamePad." on the bottom. Given that with Off-TV Play off, the player uses the TV screen as the main gameplay view-port and the GamePad as the radar, the player will need to use {{button|wiiu|padd}} to toggle between gameplay view and radar view, if Off-TV Play is on.
 
If the player wishes to play with the Wii Remote and Off-TV Play, they must point the Wii Remote at the GamePad, as opposed to the Sensor Bar.

With Stylus Mode, the player does the majority of the important actions by pressing on the touchscreen. In this mode, the controls are exactly the same whether Off-TV Play is on or off, and the same touchscreen spot maps to exactly the same game world location in both cases. To use an [[ultra-spicy spray]], [[dismiss]]/[[charge]], open the [[KopPad]]'s apps, or switch leaders, the corresponding buttons on the left side of the touchscreen must be tapped.

The game features three cursor control styles: stick-only, gyro-stick, and gyro-pointer. These control modes are set in the [[pause menu]].
=== #3 Command Formations ===
* With stick-only controls, moving {{button|switch|lstick}} lightly controls the cursor, and moving fully controls both the leader and cursor. By tilting the stick lightly, the cursor can go past its standard range; when it does, it turns cyan. Pikmin can be thrown farther than normal this way, but only roughly until the midway point between the maximum standard range and the maximum "light tilt" range. The whistle always comes from where the cursor is. Moving the stick fully if the cursor was past the standard range will return it to standard range. In this mode, rotating the camera will keep the cursor in place. Unlike ''Pikmin 3'', the cursor is based on the area's geometry. For instance, if the player is overlooking a cliff and has the cursor on the edge, holding up will make the cursor move forward in the area and dip down the edge, despite the fact that doing this moved the cursor ''down'' on the screen.

* With gyro-stick controls, {{button|switch|lstick}} controls the leader when fully held, but also controls the cursor regardless of how much it is tilted. Tilting the controller will also move the cursor. In reality, there is an imaginary "anchor" that is controlled by {{button|switch|lstick}}, and tilting the controller allows the cursor to offset around this point, up to a fixed radius around the point. For unknown reasons, in certain scenarios the cursor will behave erratically &ndash; if the gyro offset is at a given angle, and the anchor moves to that same side compared to the leader, the offset will cause the cursor to very quickly jump to the leader.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/EspyoPT/status/1317587774279544838|Twitter video|Twitter|published={{date|17|October|2020}}|retrieved={{date|1|December|2020}}}} {{button|switch|zl}} and {{button|switch|zr}} both reset the cursor's position and gyro offset. With this mode, locking-on will place the cursor on the target, but it can then be offset by tilting the controller. In this mode, rotating the camera will keep the cursor in place, but any gyro offset will change to match the camera's orientation, albeit with erratic results as the camera rotates.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/EspyoPT/status/1317589404676861952|Twitter video|Twitter|published={{date|17|October|2020}}|retrieved={{date|1|December|2020}}}} Moving the cursor, regardless of input, will make it move around the screen, like with gyro-pointer controls, and not around the area, like the stick-only controls.

* With gyro-pointer controls, {{button|switch|lstick}} only controls the leader, and only when fully held. Instead, tilting the controller moves the cursor around the screen. It can move to any position on-screen, and cannot go past it. Pressing {{button|switch|r}} in this mode changes it to centering the cursor instead of changing the standby Pikmin to the next one; {{button|switch|l}} now changes to the next standby Pikmin. In this mode, rotating the camera will keep the cursor in the same screen location.

There is only one cursor control style option in the [[options menu]], so in 2-player mode, it influences both players. Gyro-pointer cursor mode cannot be used with a sideways Joy-Con &ndash; the game will act as if gyro-cursor is on instead for any player that tries, despite the option still being recorded as gyro-pointer behind the scenes until players purposely change that.

This means that if the option is set to gyro-pointer, one player is using combined Joy-Cons or a Pro Controller, and the other player is using a single sideways Joy-Con, one can play with gyro-pointer while the other plays with gyro-cursor, which is not something that is otherwise possible. Any player with a sideways Joy-Con will only have the stick-only and gyro-stick options available in the pause menu, but oddly this means that if player 1 is using two combined Joy-Cons or a Pro Controller, and player 2 is using a sideways Joy-Con, player 1 will be able to set the global cursor style option to any mode, while player 2 will be limited to stick-only or gyro-stick, despite the option affecting both players as stated previously.

==''Hey! Pikmin''==
{{hp}} is primarily played with the [[3DS]]'s control stick and the touch screen, as almost all actions can be done with them. While most buttons are not required to play the game, they still have functions to provide an alternative to using the control stick. The buttons exclusive to the New Nintendo 3DS do not do anything.

=== ''Pikmin'' ===
==== Olimar's voyage log ====
{{transcript|The most plentiful species on the planet, they are quite ferocious despite their appearance, using their massive jaws to swallow Pikmin whole. Frontal assaults result in disaster; attacks from behind are more successful. Attacking their legs is also effective.}}
==== Reel notes ====
{{transcript|This nocturnal hunter feeds mostly on small animals returning to their nests at night.}}
=== ''Pikmin 2'' ===
==== Olimar's notes ====
{{transcript|Red Bulborb<br>Oculus kageyamii russus<br>Grub-dog family<br>This large organism has the familiar mandibles and cranial morphology of the grub-dog family, as well as the characteristic bulging eyes. As with most grub-dogs, the creature's cranium comprises half of its total length and girth. Showing a scarlet abdomen with white spots, this creature is primarily nocturnal, choosing to prey upon smaller creatures returning to their nests. Originally classified as the spotty bulborb, further research has reclassified this species as the red bulborb. Subspecies of varied colors have recently been discovered, but academics are divided into two rival camps over how to handle their classification.}}

==== Alph's comments ====
===== American English =====
{{transcript|Structural flaws: eyestalks, back
Weight: 10
Only a very confident designer would waive through issues like bright-red warning coloration and a tendency to sleep in broad daylight. There's no way a frontal assault on this thing will work, so we have to get creative. I'm thinking we should hit its back hard while it sleeps, or maybe target those thin-looking eyestalks.}}

{{transcript|The white polka dots on red is quite a look. Something about it is familiar, but where— Ah. Right. It reminds me of the captain. Not the polka dots—I mean the way it snores as it naps in the sun.}}
==== Charlie's comments ====
{{transcript|This red bruiser gobbles up Pikmin like candy. The standard approach is to attack from behind while it's still asleep. That may seem callous, but it would do the same to you if it could. Stow those feelings and strike!}}

==== Dalmo's notes ====

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
A colorful Bulborb with white spots on a red abdomen. Being nocturnal, it sleeps during the day, but it is ferocious and will swallow whole anything it sees. The creatures in the Grub-Dog family are at the top of the food pyramid.


===Area Selection===
○ What is the Grub-Dog family?


==General menus==
They were named Grub-Dogs because of the way they walk on two legs like space dogs.
The controls for the [[menu]]s are simple, allowing the player to highlight an option, change its values, or activate it. In general, the controls are as follows:


*To highlight a different option, the D-Pad or main Analog Stick of the controller is used, normally up and down.
Feature #1: Nocturnality
*To change the value of a highlighted option, the D-Pad or main Analog Stick of the controller is used, normally left and right.
:It sleeps during the day and does not wake up unless its territory is entered, but it becomes active and searches for prey around sunset.
*To confirm the option, if applicable, the punch button is used.
:(Image text:
*To cancel, if applicable, the whistle button is used.
:*"(Day) Sleeping"
:*"(Night) Eyes glow red")


===Bomb rocks===
Feature #2: How it recognizes other members of the same clade
{{main|Bomb rock#Controlling|t1=Bomb rock}}
:As it grows, the body color becomes darker, and it is recognized by the spots that appear on its abdomen.
:(Image text: "Larvae without spots are sometimes preyed upon")


Due to the actions that can be performed by Pikmin carrying [[bomb rock]]s, some special notes need to be taken into consideration in order to not have a bomb rock explode accidentally.
Feature #3: Large eyes
:The eyeballs become large in order to catch faint light at night. Because of this, the eyelids cannot close completely, and it blinks by stretching and contracting the well-developed iris.

==Temporal Mechanism notes==
===''Pikmin 2''===
==== Olimar's journal ====
{{Transcript|While exploring this warped land, I got the feeling that time passed faster than usual. Upon researching it further, I realized it was just my mind playing tricks on me. But, whenever I touch this object I can feel the space-time continuum bending! Woah... Suddenly, this all seems very hard to believe. I need a nap.|block=y}}


'''American English Nintendo GameCube / Nintendo Switch'''
{{Transcript|While exploring this warped land, I got the feeling that time passed faster than usual. Upon researching it further, I realized it was just my mind playing tricks on me. But whenever I touch this object I can feel the space-time continuum bending! Whoa... Suddenly, this all seems very hard to believe. I need a nap.|block=y}}


==Button-mashing==
=== Sales pitch ===
The term '''button-mashing''' is used when a player rapidly presses buttons or tilts sticks on the controller, without any discernible pattern. The point of doing this varies between games and scenarios, but in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], one may have to button-mash in certain situations in order to achieve a goal. The following situations require the player to button-mash:
{{Transcript|Believe! Believe in the future, in dreams, in unknown wonders, like this broken time machine part. This does not work, so there is no way to confirm its abilities, but surely your heart believes.|block=y}}
*When the current [[leader]] is being attacked by an opposing Pikmin, twirling the main analog stick allows the leader to shake them off; they'll remained latched until the stick is twirled for long enough. In ''Pikmin'' and {{npcp1}}, actual buttons can also be pressed rapidly to shake off [[Mushroom Pikmin]].
*When the leader is being held by a [[Greater Spotted Jellyfloat]], [[Swooping Snitchbug]] or [[Bumbling Snitchbug]], the player can rotate the main stick to break free. If they do not do it in time, they subject the leader to damage. In {{p3d}}, the player may also shake the controller itself.
*In ''Pikmin 3'', when a leader is thrown to the ground, the player can mash directions on {{button|wiiu|lstick|wii|stick}} &ndash; such as twirling &ndash; to make them get up. The player can also shake the Nunchuk to make them get up (usually easier and faster). The leader will get up by themselves eventually, however. In ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', they get up by themselves right away.
*When playing as [[Oatchi]] in ''Pikmin 4'', the player can mash the B button to make him recover from a hazard such as [[fire]], [[poison]] or [[panic]] sooner.
In a sense, it could be said that the games prior to ''Pikmin 3'' require the player to mash {{button|gc|a|wii|a}} to continuously [[pluck]] Pikmin, but this is only partially true: the player needs only to press the button during a pluck animation, in order to assure that the next Pikmin will also be automatically plucked. In addition, mashing the [[throw]] button is required in order to throw Pikmin in quick succession.


If the player is not interested in a cutscene's dialog, the fastest way to advance it is by mashing the {{button|gc|a|wii|a|wiiu|a}} and {{button|gc|b|wii|b|wiiu|b}} buttons. If the game in question allows using the "B" button to both advance the text and auto-fill the letters, then that button may be mashed alone.
'''Nintendo Switch'''
{{Transcript|Believe! Believe in the future, in dreams, in unknown wonders, like this broken time-machine part. This does not work, so there is no way to confirm its abilities, but surely your heart believes.|block=y}}


In ''Pikmin 2'', the mashing logic only reads from the control stick, not any other button or the C-stick. The game keeps track of how hard the player's been mashing lately as a numeric value. As the player mashes, this number increases every frame, but it also decreases every [[frame]] the player doesn't mash, meaning the player has to keep mashing to keep that number up. Due to the way the system works, this number can never go beyond 14. Every frame where that number is higher than 5, the game rolls a [[random]] number between 1 and 22, and if that number is below it, it can proceed to the next check: a roll between 1 and 10, where if the number is 1, the leader is freed. In practice, this means the harder the player has mashed in the past 22 frames, the higher their chance of escaping, and even with the fastest possible mashing, there's a 14/22 &times; a 1/10 chance every frame to be freed.
===''Pikmin 4''===
==== Schnauz's notes ====
{{transcript|{{Notes:Temporal Mechanism/schnauz}}|block=y}}


==Console and controller resetting==
==== Olimar's notes ====
For the [[GameCube]] games, there are two button combinations that replace the need to interact with the physical console itself: one resets the game without pressing the button on the console, and the other resets the controller's neutral position, without needing to unplug and replug it. The former can be achieved by holding {{button|gc|x}} + {{button|gc|b}} + {{button|gc|start}} for a few seconds. For the latter, the player must hold {{button|gc|x}} + {{button|gc|y}} + {{button|gc|start}}, for three seconds, without touching {{button|gc|stick}}, {{button|gc|c}}, {{button|gc|l}} or {{button|gc|r}}. This is because when the console is booted, or the controller's neutral position is reset, the position of the sticks and the analog shoulder buttons is considered to be the default. If, for instance, the Control Stick is held to the right when the default position is being registered, then the game will assume that the Stick is being held left, if the player releases the Control Stick.
{{transcript|{{Notes:Temporal Mechanism/olimar}}|block=y}}


==Controller diagram==
==== Louie's notes ====
{{p1}}, {{npcp1}}, {{P1s}}, {{P2s}}, {{p3d}}, and {{p4}} contain diagrams of the controller with labels on what each button does during gameplay. In ''Pikmin'' and its rereleases, a diagram is found in [[Olimar's monitor]], in the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of ''Pikmin 2'' a diagram (that is directly copied from the Nintendo Switch version of ''Pikmin'') can be viewed at any time by pressing {{button|switch|-}}, and in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'', diagrams of the different control styles are found in the Control Guide in the [[pause menu]]. These can be used should the player forget the controls.

This is because in order to move a leader, one must tilt the analog stick fully, since tilting it partially will only move the cursor (or do nothing, if the player is using gyro cursor controls exclusively), and given that some Joy-Cons and Pro Controllers suffer from analog stick drifting and incorrect range detection{{cite web|https://kotaku.com/nintendo-responds-to-sufferers-of-joy-con-drift-1836614170|Nintendo Responds To Sufferers Of Joy-Con Drift|Kotaku|published={{date|22|July|2019}}|retrieved={{date|1|December|2020}}}}, players suffering from this hardware problem will find themselves unable to move leaders effectively until the affected controllers are repaired.

Notes

Pikmin

Olimar's voyage log

“The most plentiful species on the planet, they are quite ferocious despite their appearance, using their massive jaws to swallow Pikmin whole. Frontal assaults result in disaster; attacks from behind are more successful. Attacking their legs is also effective.”

Reel notes

“This nocturnal hunter feeds mostly on small animals returning to their nests at night.”

Pikmin 2

Olimar's notes

“Red Bulborb
Oculus kageyamii russus
Grub-dog family
This large organism has the familiar mandibles and cranial morphology of the grub-dog family, as well as the characteristic bulging eyes. As with most grub-dogs, the creature's cranium comprises half of its total length and girth. Showing a scarlet abdomen with white spots, this creature is primarily nocturnal, choosing to prey upon smaller creatures returning to their nests. Originally classified as the spotty bulborb, further research has reclassified this species as the red bulborb. Subspecies of varied colors have recently been discovered, but academics are divided into two rival camps over how to handle their classification.”

Louie's notes

“Plump specimens are best spit-roasted whole, stuffed with a lime and a slab of bacon. Baste frequently to ensure a magnificently moist haunch.”

Alph's comments

American English

“Structural flaws: eyestalks, back Weight: 10 Only a very confident designer would waive through issues like bright-red warning coloration and a tendency to sleep in broad daylight. There's no way a frontal assault on this thing will work, so we have to get creative. I'm thinking we should hit its back hard while it sleeps, or maybe target those thin-looking eyestalks.”

Brittany's comments

“The white polka dots on red is quite a look. Something about it is familiar, but where— Ah. Right. It reminds me of the captain. Not the polka dots—I mean the way it snores as it naps in the sun.”

Charlie's comments

“This red bruiser gobbles up Pikmin like candy. The standard approach is to attack from behind while it's still asleep. That may seem callous, but it would do the same to you if it could. Stow those feelings and strike!”

Dalmo's notes

“It has wide, googly eyes on protruding stalks, a mouth meant to swallow prey in one large gulp, and powerful, red and white polka-dotted hindquarters. It's fierce, and yet it's somehow quite endearing. Be wary of getting lured in by its disarming mien!”

Originally classified as the Spotty Bulborb, further research has reclassified this species as the basic Bulborb. Subspecies of varied colors have recently been discovered, but academics are divided into two rival camps over how to handle their classification.”

Louie's notes

“Plump specimens are best spit-roasted whole, stuffed with a lime and a slab of bacon. Baste frequently to ensure a magnificently moist haunch.”

Hey! Pikmin

“The S.S. Dolphin II said it sleeps during the day, but the one I met was awake. I pointed this out and the ship said, "I meant during the day on Hocotate." After defeating it, we found an object rich in Sparklium. It's possible that the creature considers such objects a delicacy.”

Pikmin Nintendo Player's Guide

“This large organism has the familiar mandibles and cranial morphology of the grab-dog family, as well as the characteristic bulging eyes. As with most grub-dogs, its cranium comprises half of the organism's length and girth. Showing a scarlet abdomen with white spots, this creature is primarily nocturnal, choosing to prey upon smaller creatures returning to their nests. Juvenile greater grub-dogs live in treetops until developing spots, then fall to the ground to begin a similar predatory behavior.”
“Throw Pikmin at the adult spotty bulborb's back while marching the rest of your troop into its feet. Steer clear of the bulborb's mouth.”

Pikmin Nintendo Power booklet

“These nocturnal creatures are very common. Capable of surviving in a variety of habitats, bulborbs spend nearly all of their time searching for food. Their favorite meal? Raw Pikmin, of course.”

Pikmin 2 Nintendo Player's Guide

“The weakest of the larger Bulborbs, the Red Bulborb can still hold its own against a good-sized Pikmin squad. Since it is a nocturnal species, most of the Red Bulborbs that you encounter in the daytime will be asleep to start. Sneak up on them from behind and hit them with a stream of flying Pikmin.”

“Can anything polka-dotted be dangerous? If it’s a hungry Bulborb, you bet. Its big eyes on the top of its head are as big as its stomach. But the eyes can’t see what’s going on behind it. From the back is the perfect place to strike and swarm this beast.”

Pikmin 3 website

“It's considered one of the weakest of the Bulborbs, but can still hold its own against a good-sized Pikmin squad. Attack from behind to gain the advantage. Weakest point: eyeballs.”

Pikmin 3 Prima Guide

“These large creatures use their jaws to gobble up several Pikmin with each bite. Whenever possible, use a large squad of Pikmin to charge the creature from the rear. If brute force isn’t an option, throw Red Pikmin and Rock Pikmin onto the creature’s back. During an extended battle, it’s important to retrieve your Pikmin as the Bulborb shakes them off.”

“紅色の腹部に白い斑紋が色鮮やかな、デメマダラ。夜行性のため昼間は寝ているが、獰猛で目にしたものは何でも丸飲みにしてしまう。イヌムシ科に属する生物は、生態ピラミッドの上位に位置している。

○イヌムシ科とは？

宇宙犬のように二足歩行をする様子から、イヌムシと命名された。

特徴 その1 夜行性

昼間は眠っていて、縄張りに入らない限り起きることはないが、日が沈む頃に活発になって獲物を探し回る。

  • （昼）眠っている
  • （夜）目が赤く光る)

特徴 その2 仲間の見分け方

成長するにつれて体色が濃くなっていき、腹部に浮き上がる斑紋で仲間と認識する。
(Image text: 斑紋がない幼虫は餌食されてしまうこともある)

特徴 その3 大きな眼

夜間のかすかな明かりを捉えるために眼球が大きくなっている。その影響でまぶたを完全に閉じることはできず、発達した虹彩を伸縮させて瞬きする。”

Translation

“A colorful Bulborb with white spots on a red abdomen. Being nocturnal, it sleeps during the day, but it is ferocious and will swallow whole anything it sees. The creatures in the Grub-Dog family are at the top of the food pyramid.

○ What is the Grub-Dog family?

They were named Grub-Dogs because of the way they walk on two legs like space dogs.

Feature #1: Nocturnality

It sleeps during the day and does not wake up unless its territory is entered, but it becomes active and searches for prey around sunset.

  • "(Day) Sleeping"
  • "(Night) Eyes glow red")

Feature #2: How it recognizes other members of the same clade

As it grows, the body color becomes darker, and it is recognized by the spots that appear on its abdomen.
(Image text: "Larvae without spots are sometimes preyed upon")

Feature #3: Large eyes

The eyeballs become large in order to catch faint light at night. Because of this, the eyelids cannot close completely, and it blinks by stretching and contracting the well-developed iris.”

“While exploring this warped land, I got the feeling that time passed faster than usual. Upon researching it further, I realized it was just my mind playing tricks on me. But, whenever I touch this object I can feel the space-time continuum bending! Woah... Suddenly, this all seems very hard to believe. I need a nap.”

Schnauz's notes

“This piece of technology doesn't work, so there's no way to confirm it...but I believe in my heart of hearts that it is part of a time machine. A foolish belief, maybe. But I have faith that the future holds many great things, and this is simply a sign of what's to come!”

Olimar's notes

“I was entranced by the longer needle as it spun round and round, and I completely lost track of time. This object doesn't strike me as otherworldly, but whenever I look at it, it's like I can feel the space-time continuum bending around me!”

Louie's notes

“The long stick ticks along a lot faster than the short one. If I had to pick, I'd choose the laid-back one.”
