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).

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.
