The "Lets Try It" page provides various activities to do based around ''Pikmin''.

On July 19th, 2024, the section was updated with the addition of ''Pikmin 100'', a game playable directly on the website when viewed on smartphones. The game has only one input: a button on-screen with a whistle icon. Every time the button is tapped, a Pikmin appears on-screen, the number at the top of the screen increments by 1, and a group of children call out that number. The ultimate goal of the game, as its title suggests, is to summon a total of 100 Pikmin so they can all carry a [[Crimson Banquet]].

Pikmin Garden (ピクミンガーデン ～ピクミンのいる庭～?, lit.: "Pikmin Garden: A Garden with Pikmin") is the official Pikmin section of Nintendo’s Japanese website. It contains various articles with information on the Pikmin series. The website is divided into five main subpages: PIKMIN 4コマ (PIKMIN 4koma), 乗組員名簿 (Crew List), 原生生物図鑑 (Piklopedia), 調査レポート (Survey Report), and やってみよう (Let's Try It). Recent news on the series is displayed at the bottom of the page, alongside various links to games, movies, merchandise and other information on the Pikmin series.

A Korean version of Pikmin Garden was also released, looking identical to the original version. However, it is outdated, lacking some updates post the release of the website. Smaller versions of Pikmin Garden were also released on various other Nintendo websites. These only feature the Piklopedia and the Daily Comic sections of the website, as well as an exclusive page explaining what Pikmin are.

Subpages[edit]

The Piklopedia (原生生物図鑑?, lit.: "Primitive Creature Field Guide"), much like the Piklopedia found in the games, is an encyclopedia of creatures from the Pikmin series. Each species has its own subpage containing various details such as its physical characteristics, behavior, relationships to other creatures, among various other aspects.

The creatures featured in the Piklopedia are:

Pikmin[edit]

ピクミンのなかまたち (Pikmin's friends).

Land creatures[edit]

陸上で暮らす生物たち (Organisms living on land).

Waterside creatures[edit]

水辺やその周辺で暮らす生物たち (Organisms living in and around water).

Flying creatures[edit]

飛んだり浮遊する生物たち (Flying or Floating organisms).

乗組員名簿 (Crew List)[edit]

The Crew List features profiles for characters from across the Pikmin series. The profiles provide a job, planet of origin, short description, related people, hobbies and dreams to each character.

The characters featured in the Crew List are: Captain Olimar, Louie, the President, Alph, Brittany, Charlie, Erma Shepherd, Collin, Russ, Dingo, Yonny, Bernard and Oatchi.

The "Lets Try It" page provides various activities to do based around Pikmin. These activities include a piano roll video of the song sung by the Pikmin in Pikmin 4, printable coloring pages of Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4 artwork, and both printable and video instructions to fold origami Red Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, and Blue Pikmin.

On July 19th, 2024, the section was updated with the addition of Pikmin 100, a game playable directly on the website when viewed on smartphones. The game has only one input: a button on-screen with a whistle icon. Every time the button is tapped, a Pikmin appears on-screen, the number at the top of the screen increments by 1, and a group of children call out that number. The ultimate goal of the game, as its title suggests, is to summon a total of 100 Pikmin so they can all carry a Crimson Banquet.

PIKMIN 4コマ (PIKMIN 4koma)[edit]

The Pikmin 4koma features an archive of all of the comic strips from June 22nd, 2023 to June 21st, 2024.

PIKMINのコレなんだ? (Pikmin: What's This?)[edit]

Pikmin: What's This? is a video series which shows various close-up images of real world objects, encouraging the viewer to guess the object before it is fully revealed by the end of the video. Each object is the inspiration for a treasure in Pikmin 4, shown with in-game footage to end each video. New videos were posted to Pikmin Garden's Schedule Book every Monday from July 17th, 2023 to January 8th, 2024, when it was given a dedicated page numbering each video.
